When it comes to the current final frontier, Linux phones, what brands/models would be the best option? Or are you all really recommending iPhones?

Not open source, but apparently not fully closed source either: https://vivaldi.com/source/.

As would I, but where exactly are we going comrade?

I thought this was a really fascinating video, since Apple Explained is one of the biggest Apple-Stans on youtube. He finally realized that his favorite company is wrought with greed, and was willing enough to make a video about it. The content or his ideas don’t necessarily matter; it’s his revelation that’s intriguing.

So can my 12 year old ThinkPad. You do not need brand new hardware to run ai models, average hardware can do the same.

The Tea app is agnostic. While its purpose and main use case was made for the safety of women in the dating scene, it was inevitably used to spread exaggerated or misleading information about otherwise innocent men. Imagine being a privacy-conscious individual, and breaking up with a toxic woman. She could go on to spread lies about you and even upload pictures of you to the reverse image search/ai. So even if you were doing everything right from a privacy standpoint, you’d still end up in someone’s private database, subjected to ai training, shared with the government, or who knows what. While I do see the purpose of apps like these, they can effectively take away someone’s privacy/dignity without them even knowing about it. Now imagine being a 4channer, someone probably even more privacy-conscious than lemmings, and possibly experiencing mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or autism; of course they’re drawn to hacking an app that would destroy their privacy. They are not sane individuals, so this event really was inevitable.

You can’t block all of Windows spyware. The best case of action would be to install an alternative operating system like Linux or a BSD-derivative. It’s counter-intuitive to “fuck Microsoft” when you are still using their OS.

Yes I’m pretty sure that this has been an option. For example when I go to imdb.com and right click on the tab, it prompts me to “add imdb” for search. Many such cases on many different websites. Maybe they changed the term or function.

You need to use an external device to do that, making it extremely convoluted and annoying to do.

I have only 16 gb of RAM but I can open 20 tabs on Firefox!

I didn’t think about that one, I’ll have to check it out later

So what’s the alternative to Lemmy? IRC? It seems like every social media platform has problems.

I’ve wondered that myself, but I’ve come to the conclusion that transgender individuals seem to value their privacy more than the average person. This is all due to increased cyber bullying to them online. Linux is well known for being free from data collection (except Ubuntu) and corporate greed, so it would make sense if this was an operating system of choice.

He had been training for that moment his entire life.

I took a small hiatus from Lemmy and came back to this- what is happening?

As a zoomer myself, I’m afraid that this graph is inaccurate

That is what dual boot is for!

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who watched this movie, and to think Linux users did too!
