Jack Black coming out as a Zionist was a massive L that makes up for the rarity

I’ve got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.

Signal is what I’m trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷

Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don’t think anyone I know uses.

Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I’d get from moving to an app.

Again back to minimalism I’d rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.

Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)

Gonna give you my honest two cents.

You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.

Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.

Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.

Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.

Do you mean the civilians at the festival that the IDF admitted to killing on the 6th?

Apologies I misread your comment and thought you were saying the CCP were Nazi’s.

Since you mentioned it, i have to ask what’s so bad about China now?

Not a big fan of any nation state myself as an anarchist but want to know specifically what you’d consider bad that couldn’t be applied to the US or other western nations.

Don’t tell me you think the Nazi party were socialist because it was in their name?

Bun best

While I agree with you about Hamas, the fact you don’t apply the same logic to the IDF is very telling. A country that believes a whole group of people are less than human and wants them eradicated absolutely intends every casualty it inflicts.

Israeli snipers murder innocent children, journalists and medical staff because of evil intentions.

Israeli bombs dropped on one of the densest populated areas which are bound to inflict civilian casualties are doing their intended evil.

The choice to turn off the electricity even though it will guarantee deaths in hospitals is not bad luck and is evil.

Israel is evil.

In fact if we’re going by civilian casualties Israel is like 36x more evil.

The US aren’t hypocrites when they support fascist states its what they’ve always done unless public support hasn’t let them.

Hamas isn’t Palestine. I expect when the people rise up together they will win. There are way more organisations than Hama’s currently in this fight btw.

Last I’ve seen is that the Palestinian offensive is 10 km away from splitting Israel in two. We’ll see what the situation is when the dust settles.

For the moment I will continue to uncritically support the Palestinian struggle and call out those that don’t because they support genocide as the status quo.

Even if they only hit military targets they would still be labeled as terrorists. You need a different word that hasn’t been massively overused.

If the support is conditional its not really support.

Did you even do any research before you came up with this bulshit liberal stance? The Gaza Strip a neutral zone? That’s like saying Israel needs to become a neutral zone.

Terrorism or liberation?

How will the opposite help?

Injustice can happen under peace, so peace is not the answer. Peace is the language of the oppressor, liberation and justice is the language of the oppressed.

Also if America backs someone and calls their opponents terrorists even through they funded them, does that mean the opponents are actually terrorists?

Yeah there is. If you’re antifascist and anti-imperialist you should support the oppressed people.

If you don’t side explicitly against fascist states and American imperialism then you support it.

I mean its not that crazy, I’m writing this on a moto Z2 play. It was released June 2017, not long till year 6 bit hope it goes longer. It’s perfectly usable, runs most apps fine, can even run TFT.

Phones haven’t changed that much recently, this model has a great screen, 4gb of ram(more than some laptops that are still being released!), and a decent chip. Only issue is the battery is sub 3000mah but I know of a few models from around the same time went up to 5000mah.

You do get better mileage running an OS like lineage and being degoogled since a lot of their tracking processes kill the battery and slows things down.

I’m a software engineer but go off

That used to be possible on less ram, blame OS, browser and web developers

Everyone should keep their current devices as long as possible (either the device breaks or can no longer run work related software) to reduce the upgrading culture. You can shoot 4k now, that’s great! Keep the device even if the latest device supports 8k video. Same applies to other hardware/software features.

My point is not that we should all go back to using old hardware right now with current the current way we use our tech because that is impossible.

My point is that the way we look at technology is wrong and the way we upgrade without real reason. The average person does not need a 4k camera, it does not make them a better photographer. I’ve used digital cameras with < 15 M sensors, the photos generally sufficed for family/holiday snaps and professional photography. Yet there will be people who have thrown out phones because they unnecessarily want the latest camera tech. Wait till people want 8k recording.

That perfectly working phone that was thrown out is an example of the e-waste I was talking about. Producing computers is not with out societal and environmental cost, and to throw perfectly serviceable machines is morally reprehensible. Current culture would agree with me that its not sustainable, but most people aren’t ready to have to keep their device for 5+ years.

We’ve had video editing software available to most personal computers since at least 1999 with imovie and 2000 with windows movie maker. IMO this is all general computer users need.

Professional level video production is not general computing, it’s very niche. Yes it’s nice that more people have access to this level of software but is it responsible.

The post does raise some real issues, increasing hardware specs is not consequence free. Rapidly increasing hardware requirements has meant most consumers have needed to upgrade their machines. Plenty of these could have still been in operation to this day. There is a long trail of e-waste behind us that is morally reprehensible.
