https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, social democrats, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][4]

How is censorship a popular opinion on lemmy?? What does lemmy censor??

Other two i agree with.

FuriPhone not Fairphone

https://furilabs.com/

It’s a Linux phone with a Debian based OS, but with the AOSP kernel using the Halium compatibility layer.

Pro-tip: don’t install Windows, don’t use any “debloaters”, just install Linux Mint

You’ll enjoy a long and happy OS life.

Android is

Erm akchually 🤓

postmarketOS is a mobile Linux distro that is neither AOSP/Linux nor GNU/Linux. It is based on Alpine Linux, a lightweight distro that uses something other than GNU (busybox and musl libc)

Fully anonymous open source development is viable. This could happen. If done well, it could be a very good OS due to being able to do things without license concerns. The problem is: using it wouldn’t be legal. Disguise mode to seem like other OS?

Is the Furiphone good? What is good and what is bad about it?

Search engines such as DuckDuckGo and Google have an “exclude” feature, prepend a word with “-”

Searching “rick” returns mostly Rick and Morty, while “rick -morty” excludes “morty”, thus returning mostly Rick Astley

I got this email from Microsoft a month ago

I have never had a Windows PC, I use Mac (I want to use Linux but I’m still waiting for Asahi Linux to have a driver for DisplayPort over USB-C), my photos are backed up and synced on iCloud already.

I don’t use any Xbox thing, I don’t have an Xbox; My Microsoft account only exists for one purpose and reason: Minecraft made me migrate my account.

Also isnt not having an unsubscribe button illegal?

Oh i see

it is a parody seemingly, according to @gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de’s comment

It seems to be a meme/parody instance

Probably a meme instance / parody

When is the year of the linux phone

what is this idea of “thin phone”??? A thick phone could fit more battery and specs and better camera

people around the world are fascinated by the sheer lack of phone here

My thoughts exactly

Forums are only sort of social media

There is less focus on users and more on topics, and they have more practical uses than social media

But still, Lemmy is social media, I guess.

Google "degoogling".
Actually don't.
Search it on DuckDuckGo.

Access YouTube through Invidious.
Install GrapheneOS on Google Pixel phones, and /e/OS on other bootloader-unlockable Android phones.
Or go for a real Linux phone.
Swap Chrome for Librewolf or Firefox.
If you use GMail, move to a different provider.
Use Openstreetmap.
Replace clouds such as Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Photos with alternatives.

P.S. codeblock is so that markdown doesn't fuck up the line breaks

No, you need to do unrm -unrf /

I like ls -Ap, the -p option is convenient, it puts a / at the end of names if they’re directories. -A is like -a but doesn’t show . and ..

-l is sometimes useful, but a bit cluttered and less readable (at least to me, maybe it wouldn’t be if I were used to using it)
