Yea I know about it but you can’t make any of the modern memes with it. It only supports top and bottom text memes, which have been outdated for a couple of years now.

Need to rewatch this show at some point. Daria is so ratable

I live in Morocco. I keep leaving Facebook for months but I end up going back there even though I don’t like it at all. The reason is that all the people I know and all local content is available only through Facebook. There are hardly any Moroccans on the Fediverse, I’ve only seen like one other person in all my years of using Mastodon. If I wanna see what’s going on in the country, the city and anything related to the region then I am obliged to be on Facebook. I suppose this is the case with most developing and non-english speaking countries.

Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?

"Anyone can download the app, but free users will be given a 14-day trial to test drive it.’

So it’s only for premium users ?

Me waiting for Vhyrro to put up another Neovim video. It doesn’t take too long but I hate waiting ugh

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it’s mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian’s is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you’ll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It’s the same with many packages like that. You’ll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it’s a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it’s not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It’s so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don’t need it anymore.

The Arabic “muakhirah” means something like “the behind”. Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word “muta’akhir” which means “being late” and “akhir” which means “the latest”. It’s polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use “Tiz” to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar “Zok”. Middle Eastern countries also often use “Tiz”.

Is Logseq FOSS ?

Simple Mobile Tools have been forked by one of the maintainers. They have released the Gallery and File Manager so far. Check out their github : https://github.com/FossifyOrg

In Huawei at least, you don’t have the ability to install a custom ROM. They don’t allow you to unlock the bootloader.

FOSS generally puts more pressure on people to write better and safer code, because you know everyone is going to look at it. Even when vulnerabilities are found, they are usually fixed so fast compared to the proprietary side. There are stories of people waiting 6 months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability, while an Openssh or openssl issue is usually fixed in a few days.

Alpha man ? As in the release before all the bug fixes ?

I agree to an extent. I understand your analogy but I think there’s a crucial difference between ads for a product and political positions. You can easily get someone to buy a product, but getting someone to change their views on, say, abortion is much harder. Political positions are tied to identities in ways that purchasing decisions are generally not. There may be some ways to sway some people who are on the fense about a given candidate or position, but I generally think this ability to change people is way overstated. People just keep posting their opinions over and over and think it’s actually changing someone’s mind, more often they are preaching to people who already agree with them.

Ok I can accept that. I am not speaking about her personally but about many people on the revolutionary left who stay on there and spend 90 percent of the time complaining about what Elon Musk did or said. There’s something wrong with this “politics of negativity”, where the very apparent opposition you have to something is what ultimately fuels it. It’s ironic in a sense. A post complaining about Elon Musk is ultimately creating money for Elon Musk. The apparent discourse and the latent effect are diametrically opposed.

That’s not the same though? We can’t stop participating in Capitalism right now. But we can easily stop using Twitter as far as I’m aware. You will not die if you stop using a website. I am not saying don’t participate in social media of any kind. I am saying if you can’t even stop using a website because it clashes with every value you have, then what chance is there that you’ll give up something even greater for the sake of the greater good? Your analogy can be used to justify not making any kind of change ever because it inconveniences us.

What kind of value does Twitter actually bring to a politician? I think we tend to overestimate how much Twitter does influence politics of any kind. People who will support a politician will support them and people who don’t will not, Twitter will rarely sway anyone to a different position. Is it necessary to keep posting about every opinion you have constantly? If that’s what being politically active is, then politics has devolved beyond repair.

But why are they still supporting platforms run by billionaires? It’s so easy to talk, theorize and posture as this revolutionary figure. But when it comes down to giving up one single convenience, people freak out. I don’t know if I can take these people seriously.
