The write-up I’m referencing has some at the end. Maybe Delta chat?

Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there’s a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

“Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans”

SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that.

I did not know this. I’ve seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn’t know.

Fair, but is your current phone truly made in your home country?

Fairphone is arguably doing a lot of good for the consumers and (even if its not perfect) for the environment compared to other phone manufacturers. And most people in my country need a (smart)phone.

I highly recommend the book “The Book of Hope” from Jane Goodall to truly understand “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” when it comes to climate action.

Edit: added full title of the book

Yeah I really hope so too!!

Hope this gives Fairphone plenty of new customers and allows them to start selling more globally.

Ah, thanks! Didn’t know that. I guess it wont have an effect then and can be ignored.

Edit: fixed up wording.

I recently had this problem while dualbooting mint and windows: windows was shutting down the LAN hardware somehow.

Had to disable fast startup (in windows, but I recall some Motherboards have also “fast boot” in BIOS as well?) and also in windows’ LAN adapter settings a power saving option.

This is the thread that helped me: https://askubuntu.com/a/879818

A shot in the dark, but hopefully it helps.

Thanks for sharing, this made me smile. Also it warms my heart to hear how you are making tech accessible to this kid.

Many of us take it for granted but I remember how my dad used to go over to family friends in his free-time to help with computer stuff. I feel like I was too young to learn but it did set an example for me.

Just putting here Invidious instance link, an alternative youtube frontend: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sCr_gb8rdEI

Edit: added a mention of what frontend

Just thought I’d crosspost this interesting question.

I’ve also been looking at FP but I believe there are some issues of getting one outside of Europe.

True, and also it will make it feel less like “lemmy is dead” to new comers (something we have heard time and time again from people who are new to the fediverse) because they accidentally found the one community that was dead. It’s easier to point them to “our version” of a community they are looking for.

Even in moderately popular communities the posting frequency is quite low compared to what some people are used to. For me personally I actually like the activity level of lemmy, but we need more people to account for comings and goings of users to be able to sustain communities on the long run.

I’ve had this discussion before and the conclusion was:

Keep it as general as possible. Lemmy is still growing and small and a niche community looks often dead.

Once the community becomes too big it’s easier to split the community into more specific communities.

For example: we have quite a few communities about learning a specific language and they all seem inactive, so we are keeping a general community up ([email protected]) but don’t limit the content to anything specific. You can ask generally about languages, learning, or a specific language and you are more likely to get an answer from others than if you go to a language specific community.

Once it’s too big it will be easy for an active group of people to move to, say, [email protected] or something.

So, in short: start with a general community :)

The irony. I believe this tweet gave Signal a huge international boost.

Yeah I assumed old info as well. And with electronjs allowing web apps to run as native apps I also have suspicions that the version between web and native is going to blur out with MS apps.

I am so hyped for Libre software. Inkscape is another amazing software that has come a long way recently.

Okay yeah thought I misunderstood something. Thanks!

The article says that other office apps can only do collaborative document work in their browser versions, but I thought Word can do it natively as long as the document is in OneDrive/Sharepoint/whatever microsoft came up with next?

I recall opening a shared document locally with Word and being able to collaborate.

Nevertheless, amazing news for Libre software!

Uh, may I introduce you to F-droid, the FOSS “appstore”.
