@sun@shitposter.world Imo, it confirms the obvious that the US was only mad at Titkok for not being part of Silicon Valley and instead being descended from Chinese Tech. They were fine with Youtube Shorts and Instagram Reels also promoting algorithm-induced societal decay, and they were fine with Facebook and Google spying on users, and they were fine with tech companies cooperating with the police and Israel. :blobfoxannoyed:
@koimoa@nishikigoi.space@icedquinn@blob.cat the "good" ones are paid relaysHuh, weird that Nostr, a much smaller protocol than Fedi, is more commercialized than Fedi. Almost all Fedi instances are either fully free to join or just require the mods inviting you, and they mostly rely on donations from its users to cover costs (they can even be paid for out-of-pocket, even). I expected Nostr to have a similar culture of open decentralization like Fedi. :neofox_think:
@ra1n@social.freedombits.org Maybe I'll consider it, tho I'm moreso considering the Minimal phone, since it also runs Android, but has a QWERTY keyboard for faster texting (which I need) and an e-ink screen for reading text-based media
@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo@luana@wetdry.world Doesn't really help that almost all Masto instances look the same either, lol. What the fuck looks different between Masto and Glitch-Soc, and especially between mastodon.social and mstdn.social? :wvrnDizzy:
Almost done with my blog article's first draft, and it's looking at least better than the essay-slop I used to write in school :3d_blobcat_exciting:
For now, a sneak peek of what's to come:"It would take a while before I hide a Google executive under my floorboar- I mean get back in the groove with creative pursuits."
@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo@aetios@sns.minovsky.space I honestly don't understand why people still use GrapheneOSI'd imagine it's because it's because future fascism victims need it (security and all) and it's one of the most-compatible custom ROMs that don't embed in GApps. Otherwise, I'm wishing that other custom ROMs had the spotlight instead (especially the customizable ones), cause' Pixel phones are mid, and having stock Android but you look hackerman kinda sucks.
@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo@denza252@shitposter.world windows literally expects you to go on the internet and download random exe filesPSA to Linux beginners: It's okay to use the app store, or rather, graphical package manager on Linux. It's not like the Windows Store and Play Store, where they were designed to enforce a monopoly and crush the freedom of software distribution. You can add repositories from fully independent developers to get more sources of apps whenever :richard_stallman_throws_gimp_pepper:
I should save up for a Minimal phone, ngl :drgn_think__w_: - Android-based -> Supports apps I'd need - Physical QWERTY keypad -> Solid for texting - E-ink screen, which is optimized for reading -> Video and mobile game addiction is far less feasible, prioritizes text-based media that we should all read more

"You are using an unsupported browser (iOS 15). Please update to a different browser." I literally can't - Safari only updates when iOS updates My iPad Air 2 no longer updates Literally every iOS browser is SafariEvery time I ponder about if I hate Apple too much, turns out I don't hate Apple enough :drgn_sob: Even worse is how Apple is ironically better at this than normie Android - Unless you slap on LineageOS, it's stuck on Android 4 and mayyyybe Android 7 if you're lucky, while the iPad Air 2 from the same year is kiiiinda usable, and then there are PCs from the literal 2000s that still work well with the latest and (not) greatest Windows 11 :woozy_sob:
Huh, so that's why the S-Pen acted funky lately. It was frustrating to see my lines somehow deflect and get curvy around one spot. Turns out, though, that it was just the magnet in my case's flap messing with the pen, and that moving that flap away also resolved that issue :drgn_think_owo:
@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Ngl, I wanted to try out webdev, but not sure if I actually wanna dedicate myself towards it besides for things like my website and Fedi-dev. Been hearing that there's a lot of bullshit technologies that webdevs would have to deal with compared to C devs being normal and just using C. :drgn_think:
Hey!I'm Poppy Farbird, a queer (she/they) furry artist who wants to work with technology and the admin of Citrus Plaza. Specifically, I both create artworks of anthros (though they are on my other account) and boost other artists' fascinating works. For technology, I try to integrate open-source projects the best I can. I have Linux on my gaming PC, use software like Codium, Onlyoffice, Krita, and such, and sometimes promote these projects to others. In the future, I also want to support them financially and through commits in their codebase. I'm also trying to get into things like web design and animation. Anyways, it's just nice to be in the Fedi, which has one of the best communities on the internet.
