I’ll just say it:
Selling useless shit that kills the planet by keeping billions of people addicted to wasting their finite lives is morally wrong.
Nobody involved, whether it’s the company, influencers, or viewers will look back it from their deathbeds and see any good in it whatsoever.
I use Jami and love it. If you want to use it on a de-googled phone you may not get live notifications though, which is annoying if you want to use it for calls. The simplest solution is to allow it to run in the background but it also allows you to use selfhosted push notifications which is cool. I just let it run an accept the hit to to my phone’s battery. Jami is fairly easy to use and looks friendly too, which is helpful for getting non-technical friends to join you on it.
I struggled with Nextcloud Talk too.
Highly recommend Jami 👍
You can install/update Jami from their official repository. The instructions are a bit buried on their website but they’re there. I also avoid flatpak!
Exactly what I needed to read today. Thank you 👍
I think that the ‘mental illness’ epidemic in the broader population is a consequence of it becoming apparent that we’ve built our values and culture on a sham and we’ve gone so far down the road with it that it’s impossible to find our way back. People dont believe the story any more but haven’t yet found another one which is more convincing. I think its a sort of mass nihilism.
Velocity 2x - extremely fun fast paced 2d space shooter & platformer. Is extremely rewarding when you start to get to good at it and learn the levels.
Muramasa Demon Blade/Rebirth - also really fun and satisfying skill-based combat game but with some light RPG elements. What I really love about it though is the sheer vibes. Set in feudal Japan with gorgeous artwork and sound/music. Great fun and a piece of art.
At least they weren’t left at a bus stop this time.
Why not. I know a lot of people are into this.
I’m personally not interested in seeing video clips on Pixelfed, so I hope they can be hidden in account settings.
But respect to Pixelfed developers who seem to do a great job - it’s awesome.
Edit: looked properly at loops and it looks like it’s a totally separate thing to Pixelfed. Happy days!
I second Calibre. You can configure it to roll all the articles into a single epub too, so they don’t clutter your ereader. I tested it out recently and it works really well. I haven’t had the discipline to do it yet but I love the idea of connecting to the internet once a week to download content and messages and then going back offline.
Just let me burn some more stuff bro. Please bro, if I burn a bit more stuff I won’t have to burn any more afterwards. It makes sense bro, come on.
Is Grayjay open source? I can’t find it on f-droid.
Hey why is this EV so cheap?
Chinese taxpayers have paid half of it for you.
Down with China!
What sort of printers do you make your prints with? And do you print directly from GIMP or from something else? I’ve been trying to set up a FOSS printing workflow using Canon giclee printers, which has been mostly successful but I haven’t yet figured out how to print custom sizes on roll paper, only standard sizes on sheet paper.
I do think it’s a bit crazy that people learn to drive manual cars on the road. It is a lot to manage when you have no experience. Learners should be given a few hours to just mess around on an airfield or car park so they can get a feel for the machine first of all.
IMO most driving sucks anus though, after a year or two and the novelty has worn off. Stressful, expensive, dangerous. I would rather take trains, get stuff delivered and have a day every year or so with a powerful car alone on a racetrack.

3.0 is gonna be so good 🦾
Awesome, was that his GIMP masterclass? I’m thinking of doing that one.
Er, what?
I love RFF. In fact I’ve enjoyed listening to it more than any other online source of music for a long time.
I’m not so sure. What I’ve heard is that pretty much everyone thinks about how they were with the people in their lives.
