That’s a very good point. It’s pretty damn sad at how disconnected many of us are to the processes that get us everyday things.

I would love it if there was one like that, but unfortunately there is not for this election. I am very protective of my trans and queer friends and if trump is elected it will directly affect their lives in harshly negative ways. If you look at what is happening with trans laws in red states the framework for a genocide is there and there are certainly voices in Trump’s circle who want that to happen on a large scale.

What’s happening in Palestine is awful and I want the least amount of awful to happen in the world. Having another genocide happen on top of the one already happening would help absolutely nothing and hurt a lot of people.

What?

I have WhatsApp from Aurora store on grapheneOS and occasionally get what you’re describing, but it’s not constant.

Who is jill stein?

What is that?

Can we make an exception for Vermin Supreme

I have a t480 and didn’t need to do that

Windows kept shoving their stupid Edge browser down my throat. Tried every way to remove it and it kept popping back up like malware. Kept annoying me with “upgrade to Windows 11 popups.” I’ve used windows 11 on other people’s laptops and was flabbergasted that there were ads on paid software. In addition to that I heard 10 will stop getting security updates next year so I bit the bullet and switched to mint full time. It’s worked well for me so far.

A lot of people on Lemmy are also on matrix, which is an FOSS alternative to discord.

Yay

Won’t somebody help the poor poor shareholders crying in their yachts?

That’s insane that they have so much power to begin with

Yup. I’ve had the same issue with invidious. Hope it’ll get fixed soon. Freetube works for now.

Interestingly enough I tried whatismyip on both my main and secondary profile and they both showed the same IP and location

I’ve only got about a month left that I have to use it. Would prefer to use a separate profile as opposed to a web browser so I wouldn’t have to sign in all of the time + get flagged as a bot because of my VPN. I have tried webapp sandboxing but it hardly worked and broke most things.

I have an old-ish dumb TV. Just look around on something like Craigslist and you’ve got a good chance of finding one

I have heard mixed things about instander

I have gotten some people on signal but I will have to wait to try and get more on it. I’ve also heard that there’s privacy issues with signal but even if the allegations are true it’s a big step up from Instagram. I’m hoping to mainly use signal and my self-hosted matrix server in the future.

None of my matrix friends are on Instagram and vice versa
