Most communists on Lemmy would be put against the wall by the CCP. Agitators are useful until the party has power. After that they’re troublemakers.

Yeah man, used to be you could spend like 5 or 6 bucks and get something quick. Full meal too. Nowadays I think those companies are just riding on inertia, Americans are used to eating it and still have this idea that it’s cheaper even though if you think about it for a second it’s not. By the time you pay it’s like 10-12 bucks. Meanwhile there’s a Cuban lady down the street, she has no menu, she just makes one thing each day it’s something different, whatever she wants, you don’t get to decide, you hand her 10 bucks and she hands you a little box of the most delicious surprise you’ve ever had. Why would I pick the corpo garbage over that?
I started living this way too. Honestly, fast food doesn’t even have a value proposition anymore. It’s not cheaper than some local family run taco or burger truck/shack, and significantly crappier. Also, the lady or guy handing you your food keeps the money after paying the cook and what not, if they’re not the cook themselves. I’d rather that than it go to frozen patty distributors and stock buybacks or whatever they’re up to these days.
It’s marginally cheaper than a run of the mill sit down joint.
Also soda… I don’t understand why anyone drinks that shit. I used to, then I stopped, and now when I try it it’s gross honestly. Syrup with bubbles in it. You want some, make some ginger ale, its easy and delicious. You cut up some ginger, cook it in a pot with sugar and water, let it cool, put it in a pressure bottle and pitch yeast, it’s ready in a couple of days.
I’ve never ordered door dash or any of that stuff, as soon as I heard about it o was put off by the idea.
You’ve got the right idea man. No lazy food. If it’s not worth effort you’re not actually hungry.
Yeah archive then
My library almost got wiped out when my backup HDD started to fail. Managed to duplicate it onto a new SSD, now I’m fine.
Don’t trust services, trust yourself.
A notebook and a pen.
Aah, modern day reporting, where they just talk about tweets and X, formerly twitter.
Again thinking you know me. Just stop, you’re making yourself look stupid.
I have experience contributing to a semi successful FLOSS project, one that I’m 100% certain you use daily. Why do people just assume they know you on the internet? What is it, law of averages? “The likelihood this person arguing with me is a nobody is high enough I can assume it.” “If they disagree with me it means they don’t know what they’re talking about.” How does this mentality work? You’re the third person in a week on Lemmy (which makes it particularly funny) that has just assumed I don’t have experience contributing to FOSS software. Do you have experience contributing to FLOSS software? Have you ever been expected to solve other peoples problems for free? I’m asking because I don’t know. Maybe you have. I wouldn’t want to get egg on my face assuming something.
There’s a difference between creating something and giving it to the world and being on the hook to help them solve their business problems. A libre or permissive license does not commit the person who released it to making it work for anyone, for any reason. It is in fact the first line in those licenses.
They don’t want to get paid for it being used. They want to get paid to continue working on it by people who need them to continue working on it.
This is proof to me that the federated model has failed. I was so hopeful early on in the fediverse, I thought it was all we needed. I no longer feel that way. It’s not a network of users, its a network of power tripping fiefdoms.
Client relay network topology is the future of social networking. Check out Nostr (and ignore all the bitcoiners, see the network for what it is).
FolderSync on android. It’s the only automatic sync application I’ve found that syncs to mydrive.ch.
Also a couple of UI apps, BarLauncher, which is a notification thing that let’s you put app icons to launch from the notification drop down, and LaunchyWidget, like a scrolling “fence” to dump app icons in on your home screen. They’re both so simple, I’m surprised that nobody has built FOSS versions of them.
On my PC I don’t use any proprietary software at all.
Now let’s talk about stickers on produce that leave adhesive behind. Yet another user experience principle thrown to the wayside by middle management who don’t understand the problem the old stickers solved.
Not too hard to do with wireguard. You have to split traffic, because if you tunnel all traffic to the paid VPN, you can only access it by pointing at the IP address of that paid VPN so it doesn’t really help. If youre using firefox VPN, it’s just a private labelled Mullvad VPN, so no port forwarding so this wouldn’t work at all.
So what you have to do is allow your home machine running the wireguard server you use to connect to your home network accept direct connections from your devices. Then all outbound connections tunnel to your paid VPN. It’s a bit convoluted but there are plenty of walkthroughs online as to how to set up your firewall and network rules and wireguard configs to do it. You’ll be working with iptables and then traffic splitting with wireguard.
You know it.
If you send me a screenshot of your code I’m not helping you, sorry.

No, no you misunderstand…
The holy grail for these big corps is to replicate wechat. It’s the everything app for over a billion people. Can you imagine the level of control you could exert over a population with a tool like that? It’s everyone’s wet dream to have something like that for Europe and the US.
And I mean everyone, not just Twitter. Facebook wants to do it, Google wants to do it. People who have never seen it in action don’t really get it, there is no analog to wechat in the west. It’s a chat program? With PayPal in it? No. You can pay parking tickets in wechat. This is what they’re trying to turn Twitter into.
Yeah, you don’t have to. But to be able to easily prove you are who you are to IRL people you will. And the decision tells you something about the product and protocol design.
Fuck yeah thanks man
