Sounds rad. Can’t wait to try it out.

So much fun. It takes place during the hottest time of the year.

I didn’t say I sleep good, but I do sleep fast!

Alcohol.

Immich on Yunohost.

Just want to throw out another option. They make Bluetooth phones. I got my parents a set years ago so that they would hear the phone ringing no matter where they left their cell (in the house). These are wireless handsets, and they even announce the contact name or phone number.

If you want it completely separate from your cell, connect an old/cheap device with either a low-priced SIM plan, a google voice account or jmp.chat. Pair that with the Bluetooth home phone for the aesthetic.

I mean it like, it’s a slow progression that builds on other interests, rather than your average person deciding suddenly to self-host. And it’s not that I think it is or isn’t worthwhile, I just have a different idea about what “we” are trying to accomplish. If your priority is to grow the userbase of one particular community or project, then I can see why you would want to have “presence” on corporate platforms. I still think it warrants an examination of the principles of self-hosting and consideration of “alternative” platforms.

If a little light sarcasm is incivility to you, then you’re in for a real struggle. I don’t know how most people end up self-hosting but I suspect it’s more of an organic process. For me, jeez… I can probably trace it back to using StumbleUpon browser extension, hearing about Linux, then installing it as a way to avoid studying for exams. Once I was using Linux on my computer, I suppose self-hosting was inevitable. Where did I get the info? Wherever I could find it.

Israel has a “right to exist” the same way Rhodesia, Belgian Congo or Nazi Germany did.

Do you know what a hyperlink is? You just click on it and it takes you to Lemmy. You sign up, pretty much the same way you have done for every other service you have ever used. What are we doing here? Are we not trying to build alternatives to the corpo-surveillance hellscape that the internet has become? Give users a little more credit, and a little more incentive. Otherwise, you’re sending mixed messages when you offer a way to get their photos away from google or something, but you force them to use fucking Discord for support.

My wife just transited (with US passport) through Canada end route to Asia. She had to go through what you’re describing of China.

I understand that POV, but if people want help, they’ll go to where it is. Walk the talk of FOSS. That’s how we’ll build better communities.

There’s a certain irony making this comment on Lemmy.

I fucking wish Iran would flatten every single Israeli settlement.

Doubt.

Check out the documentary “The Act of Killing” and the book “The Jakarta Method” if you’d like some historical context for modern Indonesia.

Main camera is whatever default is for Graphene. Also use “Open Camera” and “Fair Scan” from fdroid.

I just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn’t get backed up.

Again, you are distorting and decontextualizing. Both-sidesing like this flattens the reality of the situation, and only serves to justify the status quo. If you care about the problems in Iran, your very first concern should be ending the imperial wars and sanctions against them. Otherwise what is the point of this conversation? I’m here in the US. I presume that you are also in a country that provides material support to Israel or is otherwise directly attacking Iran. What can we do about Iranian problems? We can support the status quo of starving and bombing them, or we can be against it.

What question posited? Whether Iran existed as a nation before earlier this year? I’m really struggling to understand your point. It seems to me that you would like to decontextualize Iran. History matters, and you will never understand the present without studying the past.
