Is possible to learn to swim, just by reading a lot about it?

If a person reads a lot of theory about how to swim, different types of techniques, other people's written experiences etc., can they swim if thrown in a deep swimming pool? Or, at least, be able to swim enough to reach the steep end and save themselves from drowning?

By "a lot", I mean spending over 6 months to a year, gaining theoretical knowledge. And when we throw them in the pool, they are willing to try it, as in, "I have learnt enough, and I am willing to try it out."

How can you make stock Android as private as possible?

I know that stock Android itself is spyware.

What tips about setting up my stock Android phone would you give me?
It's not factory unlocked so I'm sticking with Google Android.

Things I've done:
- Stopped and disabled all apps that I don't use or need.
- Replaced all apps that I can with FOSS alternatives from github using Obtainium.
- Not installed things that I can just check on my laptop like email.

Is there anything else that I can do?
Thanks in advance

Edit
I've also:
- Changed my DNS to Mullvad DNS
- Restricted app permissions to only what they need
- Not signed into the phone. I don't even have Gmail account.

Okay why is your distro the best?

I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I'm learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?

RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.

For me it's openSUSE Tumbleweed on my Desktops/Laptops and openSuse Leap on my Servers. The killing Feature for me was the propper BTRFS integration with Snapper for seamless rollbacks in case I borked the system in some way.

One "downside" for me is the mix of Gnome Settings and Yast on my Desktop. But I like yast on my servers for managing everything (enabling ports in firewall, network config, enable autoamtic isntall of security updates, etc.).
Also openSuse is not that common, so sometimes it is hard to find a solution if you have a distribution specific question.

Personally never looked to closely into openSuse Build Services (OBS). But I know some people who really like it.

I am using Bluefin, based on Fedora Silverblue. I realized that I was already exclusively using flatpaks for everything except one random app, so I thought why not go all-in?

Haven't had to worry about updates or system breakages since, and it's been great so far.

I used to use Debian Stable, but since doing SysAdmin work I've just become used to the way Fedora / RHEL does things.

I find this comparison unfair becuase k3s is a much more batteries included distro than the others, coming with an ingress controller (traefik) and a few other services not in talos or k0s.

But I do think Talos will end up the lighest overall because Talos is not just a k8s distro, but also a extremely stripped down linux distro. They don’t use systemd to start k8s, they have their own tiny init system.

It should be noted that Sidero Labs is the creator of Talos Linux, which another commenter pointed out.

I've been looking at K3s deployed on FCOS, but I have no clue how I'm supposed to use Terraform to deploy FCOS.

My understanding is that FCOS is supposed to be ephemeral and re-deployed every so often, which would imply the use of a hypervisor like Proxmox on the host, but Proxmox does not play well with Terraform.

I also considered OpenStack, but it's way over my head. I have a very simple single-node Kubernetes setup to deploy using GitOps, and nothing seems to fit the bill.

Is the Trinity Desktop Environment Secure?

So, a while back I installed Xfce with Chicago95, but was disappointed. Xfce just doesn't vibe with me, and a strict emulation of Windows95 is not really what I wanted, I just wanted something that "felt" that classic.

So I was gonna give up and just use KDE, until I saw TDE. I think TDE is probably what I'm looking for but I'm concerned about using anything so minor because security.

It TDE secure (for personal use)?

Can a DE even be insecure, or are they all generally as secure as each-other as long as you follow the rules (trustworthy software, closed firewall, install patches fast, and disaster recovery plans)?

What vulnerabilities can a desktop environment even have (edit)?

Oh damn, so just viewing a file in your file manager is enough to get infected in an insecure desktop environment, as thumbnails can be generated programmatically? If I clicked a bad link that would 100% infect my system.

I'm not worried too much about screen-capture. I'm worried first and foremost about triggering any arbitrary code execution and thumbnail generation on a file would definitely do it.

Canadian armed forces dudes get busted in Qc building anti-government militia

RCMP: Ideologically motivated violent extremism: four individuals charged


One of the accused allegedly created and administered an Instagram account with the aim of recruiting new members to the anti-government militia.


Numerous firearms were seized by police officers during searches in January 2024.


Military-style training in which the accused took part.

NYT: Canadian Armed Group Charged in Plot to Seize Quebec Land

The men charged with terrorism offenses were identified as Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 24, and Raphaël Lagacé, 25, both of Quebec City, and Simon Angers-Audet, 24, of Neuville, Quebec. Matthew Forbes, 33, of Pont-Rouge, Quebec, was charged with the explosives and weapons offenses.

Mr. Forbes and Mr. Chabot are corporals in the Canadian Armed Forces stationed at a large base northwest of Quebec City, the military said in a statement on Tuesday evening. The armed forces added that another of the accused men is a former member of the Canadian Forces while the fourth man was once a civilian instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Neither of those men were identified by name.

In the statement, the police said that the men facing the terrorism charges had been “planning to create anti-government militia.”

For those who don't know: Edmonton is where the military prison is. Referred to as "Club Ed" by members and is known to be a living hell designed specifically to break you through non-stop work and makes regular civilian prison look like a vacation. You have to be an absolute piece of shit like these guys to end up in that correctional facility. They are guaranteed to not be the same when they get out of there.

I don't think there's any evidence right now that the military had anything to do with this beyond being how these nitwits met. Let's wait and see if some turns up before blaming anyone not directly involved in these crimes. This is a bit different from most military-related scandals—these guys acted in direct contradiction of what the military stands for.

Is the data and public keys being replicated in the communication between instances? it's not made clear how the federation actually works, because "enabling users on different servers to share data with end-to-end encryption" (from foks.pub/) is something all services with TLS / HTTPS support already do...

Also.. one big plus for the OpenPGP HKP protocol is that technically you can self-host your own key in a static HTTPS server with predefined responses and be able to have it interact with other servers and clients without issue. I'm expecting the more complex nature of FOKS might make self-hosting in this way difficult. I'd rather minimize the dynamic services I expose to the outside publicly if I'm self hosting.

I don't appreciate the attitude and arrogance of the guy behind systemd because he actually believes what he produces can replace everything that already "just works". He wants to push out systemd-homed because "why not". He wants to replace grub. He wants to replace a myriad of things that just flat out don't need to get replaced. autofs, cron, you name it! That kind of thinking and one-size-fits-all mentality is backwards and does not benefit the community in any way. All it does is stuff everything into one bin and so long as influencers like this guy continue to restrict what works or doesn't work according to their own work, the community and its users will not be able to freely develop FOSS. Gnome is a good example of something that creates too much of a dependency on systemd and so when you're trying to use something like Gentoo, it becomes very difficult to get that done and hacks have to made in order to get it working. FOSS shouldn't work like that. He'll keep stripping away legit projects from major distros until IBM/Red Hat finally decide to seal the deal and lock everyone out for good. Sorry if I can't rejoice in the woah whiplash.
in reply to thatradomguy

lemmy - Link to source

MangoCats

So, I don't like the guy either, but for a little devil's advocacy:

The stuff that already "just works" was developed during a very different era in terms of computing power, tasking of the computers which were running the systems, etc. Nobody (serious, and he is serious) develops something different because "why not?" they, at least from their perspective, feel that they are improving on the status quo, at least for the use cases they are considering.

one-size-fits-all mentality is


being decided by the distro maintainers, not the developers. Sure, developers promote their product, but if a distro thinks that multiple flavors are a better path, they distribute multiple flavors. It's not like the systemd developers are filling billion dollar war chests with profit because they're using strong-arm tactics to coerce distro maintainers to adopt their products.

stuff everything into one bin


When one bin serves the purpose, it's a lot easier to maintain, modernize, security harden, etc. than ten bins.

the community and its users will ~~not~~ always be able to freely develop FOSS.


Fork it and your loyal users will follow.

Gnome is a good example of something that creates too much of a dependency


Agreed, I was never happy with GNOME, and starting about 5 years back I have been migrating my systems, personal and professional, off of it. That's the nature of FOSS, no contracts to negotiate, make the choices that make sense for your use cases and execute them.

FOSS shouldn’t work like that.


FOSS, by its very nature, should be expected to work all the ways. If a particular way can't get enough developer traction, it stagnates but never really dies, not until the ecosystem it is dependent upon can no longer find hardware to run on and users willing to run it.

IBM/Red Hat finally decide to seal the deal and lock everyone out for good.


I am very glad that I walked away from CentOS about 8 years back, its proximity to Red Hat never made me happy. I have been trying to walk away from Canonical (toward Debian) for about 3 years now, but it still has some hooks that keep our professional team happier than Debian. If the unhappy ever outweighs the happy, we'll execute the move.

Sorry if I can’t rejoice


Never asked you to. End of devil's advocacy. I still don't like the guy, but I never really interact with him. I do interact with his products and the alternatives, and in my use cases the products speak for themselves. There's nothing about systemd that makes me dig around for systemd free alternatives - they are out there, but for my use cases I don't care. YMMV.

All it does is stuff everything into one bin


Well, it is not one bin.
There is no monolithic systemd bin that does everything.
There are a lot of separate bin files for all the different tasks.
Well and if you don't want to use timers, then don't and just use cron instead.
If you don't want to use journald, then just don't and use rsyslog or whatever you want.
Don't need systemd-homed? Well, then don't use it.
You want to configure your network with something else then systemd-networkd? Great, do it if you want.

I am not seeing how IBM and/or Microsoft are winning anything here or how systemd enables them to take over Linux. But maybe I am missing something.

Last time I checked (60 seconds ago) systemd was using FOSS licences for all it's code. So it seems to be living the FOSS culture, or not?

I am always open to learn and correct my view on things under new information, so if you can provide them I am open to read it.

in reply to Magiilaro

lemmy - Link to source

vivendi

Ah but you see, you have to understand the FOSS community a little more than just "using a license that FSF and OSI endorsed".

In terms of inter-project politics, systemd is almost wholly owned by IBM. They can override any will they want, they can change anything they want, all while fucking the community over. In short, IBM, using systemd as a massive octopus growing it's tentacles all over mainstream Linux distros, is gaining considerable weight to pull in the Linux world.

They can essentially dictate matters to everyone they want, because you don't want your distro to stop being supported, do you? And now, another IBM-majority project, GNOME, is almost dependent on systemd (despite the very good word of both gnome and systemd that this wouldn't happen, IT HAS) and KDE is also being slowly pulled in that direction, with DrKonqi becoming systemd only in it's latest update.

Essentially, we are handing over 30 years of work in FOSS to IBM, literally the caricature of evil tech company, and now they control the mainstream and can dictate their will.

Allow me to remind you that this same IBM almost immediately after taking over RedHat, started closing down the source sharing of RHEL, which is it's own whole thing so I digress.

Let my final word be this, R.M.S as much of a problematic piece of shit he is, correctly predicted we being fucked over by DRM and subscription services 20 years ago and was ridiculed for it.

Don't you think it's time to take a fucking hint? You don't have to be an anarchist to see where this is going.

I have seen with Oracle Java and OpenOffice (as two examples) that the open source community is very good in just leaving and forking a project if the current owners fuck up.

The same will happen with systemd if needed.
Red Hat may be the primary source behind systemd now, but they don't own it.
All the code is fully open source, none of your ramblings have any hint of facts or any real foreseeable danger behind it.
I asked for facts, for anything with some kind of real information behind it.

There is nothing that powers the claim that RedHat or IBM could take over Linux with systemd.
How would they do it? They can't, because even if IBM would tomorrow change the license to a closed one and would want money.
Who cares, everyone will just fork the version before the license change and good is.

Just as it happened back then with Xorg, like it happened a short while ago with Redis, and there are so many examples more.

Grub is working perfectly fine.

If it breaks it is, in my experience as a grub user for over 20 years and as a guy working in server hosting for 15 years, either because of failing HDD/SSD or because of user error.
People don't read when the updater tells them that running "grub-install" is needed (or they perform it on the wrong drive/partition) and then blame grub when it fails on the next boot.

The crappy bootloader that comes with systemd very often, in my experience, fails to register that a new Kernel was installed and boots the old one (or fails to boot if the package manager removed the old Kernel).

Oh and GRUB has so many useful features, like booting a ISO image.
GRUB is a piece of programmer art!

He is not that bad, the issue is that, as all foss devs, he is not interested in solving problems he does not feel like are important.

The problem is, he disapproves when resources are allocated in his project to those problems and one main area he is not a fan of is support for legacy stuff.

It just happens that legacy stuff is the majority of the industry, as production environment of half the globe needs to run legacy software and a lot of it on legacy hardware

Well, generally, the answer is a no. Nails and intestines do not mix well, and once you're past the anus, that's what you're dealing with.

It isn't impossible to modify the nails to be less risky, but never to the degree that I'd be willing to have them up my rear, even if I was into that. There's reasons that nurses and nurse's assistants are often expected to keep their nails short, and that's one of them. We don't go wrist deep, and it's still too big a risk.

Way I see it, you have two options. One is to cut them back to where they don't extend past the end of the fingers, then use two nitrile gloves over your hand that's doing the work. You can still keep pretty nails like that, they just won't be as showy

The other is to take the risk, and wrap the nails in something like gauze, then tape them, then glove up. I've heard of people doing that with no injury, but it is still risky.

If you can't/won't do either of those, call it done and get a fist dildo.

PieFed.World is now open

cross-posted from: piefed.world/post/237378

Hello World!

We've recently added PieFed.World to the Fedihosting Foundation portfolio.

PieFed.World is still in its early stages, and we still need to port some of our automations we already have in place on Lemmy.World. This includes functionality to inform people about moderation actions taken against them, as well as some other moderation tooling. Administration is currently done by the same team responsible for Lemmy.World, and the same rules that apply to Lemmy.World also apply to PieFed.World.

What is PieFed?


PieFed is a Fediverse/Threadiverse platform similar to Lemmy or Mbin/kbin. You can find a description and feature comparison with Lemmy on their website.

While PieFed has a range of features currently not present in Lemmy, it also is a a lot younger and isn't quite as robust as Lemmy currently is. There are still many bugs and missing features that you will likely run across compared to Lemmy, which will take time to be addressed. PieFed has fairly active development and is seeing a lot of issues addressed fairly quickly, which is especially important recently, as the number of active PieFed instances and PieFed users increased significantly with a range of Lemmy instances opening up PieFed instances as well. PieFed currently does not have proper "stable" releases and no test suite, so it's not unlikely for things to break from time to time. Although 1.0.0 has already been released a while back, there are still too many issues addressed in more recent commits to stay on that version.

As PieFed is part of the same federated network as Lemmy and Mbin, all PieFed communities can be accessed from Lemmy and Mbin, as well as other Fediverse platforms. Likewise, PieFed can access communities from Lemmy, Mbin and other Fediverse platforms. Whether you use a PieFed instance, a Lemmy instance, or an Mbin instance, it does not matter what type of instance the community is on. The software affects your own user experience, but the content is available regardless.

Creation of communities


Creation of communities will be limited to admins for the first week of the public launch. We will reserve this time to allow community moderators of established communities to claim the name on PieFed.World before we open community creation to the public. We will limit this to communities with the same name and at least 2k monthly active users. In case of multiple qualifying communities with the same name on different instances expressing interest, Lemmy.World communities will be given preference, afterwards the number of monthly active users. Please reach out if you'd like to discuss an exception. Requests can be posted in !support@piefed.world. After the first week, community creation will be available to anyone.

Migration of communities


PieFed has a feature to migrate communities to a local instance. We will not be offering PieFed's community migration feature initially.

We still need to research the details of how this works and the impacts this has on federation before we will make a decision on whether will support this in the future. If requested, we may reserve some names for potential future community migrations until we have made a decision to allow community migrations.

This does not prevent you from moving communities in the classic way, by opening up a new community and posting in the old community that people should move over.

Private voting


We had previously disabled private voting for PieFed.World before opening the instance to the public, as the original implementation has a range of drawbacks when it comes to federation, and our team overwhelmingly believed that the individual benefits of private voting did not outweigh the impact this has on the Fediverse beyond the user's instance. Additionally, due to the implementation of that feature, it was also trivial to identify the original voter, which significantly limited the promises of this bringing actual voting privacy.

Since then, the implementation of private voting has been changed to provide the option of federating or not federating votes. While this is more likely to result in vote differences across instances, it does not feed bad information to other instances, which could make it a lot harder for other instances to identify manipulation.

Non-federated voting is available for all PieFed.World users.

Topics


Topics are a kind of "starter packs" or collections grouping multiple communities that people can follow, curated by the admin team. We don't have a clear vision for the structure of these yet.

You can see an example structure on piefed.social.

Feel free to let us know your thoughts on this.

Feeds


PieFed supports feeds, which are user-created groups of communities, similar to topics. These are currently in a global namespace and all users can create public feeds in the same shared namespace.

Reputation and vote weight


PieFed has options for admins to treat certain types of content differently for "reputation" calculation, as well as options for weighing votes of specific instances differently compared to others. We currently have all options for treating certain content, communities or instances differently disabled.

How does PieFed compare to Lemmy?


PieFed has various features not present in Lemmy, check out their website!

There is also various functionality that Lemmy has, which you may be missing currently with PieFed for now:

Limited API support


In Lemmy, the default web interface relies entirely on the Lemmy API. This has the major benefit of all functionality available in the default web interface also being available to all third party clients. PieFed currently uses separate code paths and implementations for the default web interface and its API. To make it possible to access functionality in third party apps, dedicated API endpoints have to be created, even if this functionality is already available in the default web interface. This also includes alternative web-based UIs.

Multiple developers of alternative UIs and mobile clients are already working on PieFed support, some already released experimental versions.

Limited availability of Markdown previews


Markdown previews are currently only available in posts. There are many other places that accept markdown, but you can't preview the rendered comment before submitting it. This is tracked in #532.

Image uploads only on post creation


Images can't be uploaded to comments currently. You'll have to host them externally for now. This is tracked in #768.

Autocompletion of users/communities


Usernames and communities can't be autocompleted when typing their names currently. This is tracked in #799.

Limited availability of modlog


Modlog is currently very limited. While there is an instance modlog, there are currently no filters available, so it's not possible for users to see actions taken against a specific user or within a specific community. Community modlog exists, but it is currently only available to community moderators and admins. Filtering modlog is tracked in #846.

Moderator hierarchy


Lemmy has a moderator hierarchy based on the time a moderator was appointed, relative to other moderators in the community. This allows moderators to add other moderators, but they can only remove moderators that were added later than they were. There are a few other actions that check moderator hierarchy as well, including deletion only being possible by the top mod. In PieFed, communities have one or more owners, who can add and remove moderators, while all other moderators are currently on equal level. Community owners currently cannot be changed without editing this directly in the database, if you'd like to change owners in your community please reach out in !support@piefed.world.

Donations


Similar to Lemmy, PieFed development is supported by donations. You can donate to PieFed development through Patreon.

Additionally, we would appreciate donations towards the Fedihosting Foundation, the non-profit organization operating PieFed.World, Lemmy.World, and a range of other Fediverse platforms.

Problems and questions


Please report any issues and questions about PieFed.World in !support@piefed.world.

For topics about the software PieFed, please visit !piefed_meta@piefed.social.

Bugs can be reported on Codeberg.

TLDR: New platform with similar functionality available, Lemmy.World will continue to exist.

The government should not be hosting a public cloud service; if they really want to do something like that they should do a public private thing with Canada Post, maybe.

I personally have moved all of my hosting off of US servers, my ISP uses exchange for their email server where ever it is hosted I do not know so I have been moving all my email things onto the Canadian host. I started using apple’s hide my email years ago so I have decided to do a more extensive hide my email setup with my host. I have a pi hole system setup so with the 120+ emails so my internet data is worthless to Google and all the other US advertisers.

Ubisoft tells players to “destroy” games when online support ends
Ubisoft has updated its End User License Agreement, and it’s instructing its users to remove and destroy their games completely should the title be taken offline.

Essentially, the EULA has given Ubisoft free rein on its ability to stop supporting a game, writing: “You and Ubisoft may terminate this EULA at any time, for any reason. Termination by Ubisoft will be effective upon notice to you or termination of your Ubisoft account, or at the time of Ubisoft’s decision to discontinue offering and/or supporting the Product.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the only company that has the same terms in its EULA. The likes of Capcom, Sega, and even the Oblivion Remaster have the same clause in their terms and conditions, meaning the stipulation isn’t unique to Ubisoft.

The media can keep bashing the Canadian government scrapping the tax. The last minute "capitulation" as many in the media is framing it as, while true, is also disingenuous on how Canada has to deal with the US given the cards it has in hand. Canada right now still relies heavily on exporting things to the US and keeping the US at the table talking is the best it can do right now until it can secure other trade deals around the world. Proximity matters and even more so when they are still is a superpower.

Canada still has many options despite this digital tax. What about banning US big tech? What about changing the rules about tech companies entering Canadian job space (and it doesn't have to be a tax)? Other countries have managed (eg. China, Denmark), so why can't Canada? The government can fight on one front, but Canadians themselves also have to. The boycott of travel to the US and of US goods clearly has made impact, but Canadians can do more. Support open source software like Linux, move away from Adobe and so forth. There are alternatives and some even Canadian ones. If we are to truly give the Canadian government good tools to fight, we too must do our jobs individually.

I think the point is that by capitulating on this, Canada has gained time. Time to make deals with other countries as trade partners, time to source necessities (that they have gotten from the U.S. for literally decades) from other countries, and time to build up their own military might in case Trump makes good on his idiotic "51st state" bullshit.

Here's the thing. They have markets too. And his Taco behavior is rocketing every market across the globe every time he does this. And some speculate that he is making a load of money by doing this. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I don't know. I don't think he's smart enough to actually take advantage of this. Though I know there are people out there who are and are making a ton of off of this. But all these countries crave stability, and the only way they're going to get it is if Trump stops with all of his idiotic tariff talk. And before you say anything, no he will not learn his lesson. It has been over 6 months since he took office and he, despite everyone ignoring him constantly, has continued his unyielding parade of stupid.

This is one of his major MO's making money, maybe he missed the first few times, but he's done it so much now that he's for sure making money on these bets, just like every supporter he's got out there.

Why do you think he walked away from the table because of the DST, because he cares about gig tech? They paid him -- that's why they got seats at his inauguration.

(Yet another reason why presidents should be constitutionally required to divest everything they own before being allowed to take office.)

And it's possible to push for change much more easily at this level instead of the federal overnight. TBH - microsoft is used because of the history of how computers were introduced in the NA market. If you look to China for example, they skipped the entire PC generation and went straight to mobile. Windows is not big player but rather things like 'superapps' that act more like an OS than an app. That's only scratching the surface because these apps are much more because they even have financialization (see WePay, AliPay). The other big alternative is MacOS which seems to be catching on in the post-secondary and consumer market this may lead to a change in the business playing field as the older generation retires and younger people move into the workforce.

You'll never see Canada block big tech at this point I'm afraid. All the talk of sovereignty is just that, talk. None of our different government agencies is prepared to abandon Microsoft. All of our financial regulators are completely in bed with Microsoft. Most of our banks are in bed with Microsoft. Our ATMs run on Windows due to Payments Canada being in bed with Microsoft and mandating it. All of your banking data is accessible by Microsoft. Every government agency runs on Microsoft.

Every time there's an announcement about ditching US providers, ask your MP/MLA if that includes Microsoft / big tech. There's always an "out" in those announcements to allow them to dodge that one -- like "It's too expensive to change", or "too difficult to change quickly" or whatever.

I mean, look at all these "nation-building" projects that they're itching to suppress Canadian's rights to "get moving" -- they're all projects that're gonna be lead by Big US companies to extract resources from Canada. They put on a good show, but the reality is that Trump / America was right that Canada is basically a little bitch at this point. Our politicians have proven that time and again this year.

Oh of course there's always pain and big tech has always been hard to block or even tax (our government is extremely slow on figuring out tech) - just look at our very own big telecoms - we can't even get them to behave. Canada has positioned itself into a weak position because we collectively keep voting for these spineless or clueless people believing they are doing good or for private interests. I am sure there is still a large portion of people thinking that politics don't affect them or they think that their vote won't matter etc etc. These reasons are all excuses - voting is the just the bare minimum.

Canada should have its own GDPR like the EU. Our personal data and things that we put online - one should have sovereignty over it. We have nothing in place that backs our own citizens and this in itself costs Canada nothing. It is pure and simple legislation and can cause pain to big tech without even changing any operating system.

Canada got turned into the US's "little bitch" wasn't a mistake overnight. Go look at the past 30 years of policies and who voted for what - it's clear there's a trend and one political part is almost blatant in bed with the US. There are many other ways to cause pain beyond just digital taxes.

Banking wise, I look forward to a day when banks are obsolete via crypto, but this requires a large public understanding of what crypto is all about. I'd argue that the Canadian government has no real way of governing crypto given its nature of how it works. But that's another discussion.

Yea, I'm not in favour of crypto banks in any way shape or form. Over the past five years, almost every crypto coin has been blatantly used at some point for large scale fraud, and direct bribes -- Trump's a great case in point there. Even more, shifting monetary control into a crypto-verse, is overtly giving all authority and power to tech bros, who are proving in very overt fashion that they cannot be trusted these days.

Just look at SVB. Thiel and his buddies looked at SVB's balance sheet, said "We have so much money in this bank, if we all pulled out at once we could kill the bank and trigger a regulatory fiasco" ..... followed by Palmer Luckey, one of that crowd, putting forward a Crypto-first bank with his billionaire buddies backing. So the guys that caused the latest banking collapses, are wanting us to trust them to handle all the monetary stuff. Crypto being beyond government control is a nonstarter, and as soon as govt is involved is basically the same as regular currencies. But even worse the main proponents of it are completely untrustworthy, and are entirely hell bent on dismantling things like democracy. They want the power to mint their own "zuck bucks" to function as official currencies in their little tech fascist fiefdoms. So fuck that noise.

GodofLies

Definitely not crypto banks. I mean more of - people being able to do the transactions themselves straight from their phones or whatnot without the middleman (the banks). That's how crypto is supposed to work - and people just pay a transaction fee ("gas fees") to get the transaction done. There's a lot of work that's already been done to bring down the cost of gas fees too. Staking is like lending out your money and pooling it together while whoever borrows it has to pay you interest instead of paying the bank interest. There's a lot of shitcoins and corrupt things with crypto for sure, but that's a problem people collectively also need to solve - maybe don't "stake"/lend out your money to shady coins is a start and don't chase after this big marketed bullshit (FTX scam anyone)? There's a reason why techbros, wall street etc got in and it's because they're circumventing regulation - so looks like the bank even in this current state despite being regulated still do tons of shady shit. The penalties are just the cost of doing business.

It's a dual edged knife. Want to be free from the middleman banks? Current regulation standards don't even hold a candle against crypto. Crypto is community driven, decentralized and possibly even anti-inflationary. There are a lot of advantages but also in its current form easily perverted. Anyways, going to stop here as we're off topic.

Future teachers in Oklahoma!

This is the “Emergency Certified” Teacher Facebook group.

These people possibly have bachelor’s degrees, but in subjects completely unrelated to the subjects they will be teaching.

Common complaints are about the tests being too hard (they aren’t, you can memorize the questions on fucking quizlet).

My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary.

But no f-ggots allowed! Being a drag queen on the weekends disqualifies you to be a school principal now, no matter how good you were at it.

I am a relatively new teacher in Oklahoma. In my experience, the teachers I've worked with are a fairly mixed bag. There are absolutely amazing teachers working in Oklahoma that are knowledgeable and passionate about their content areas. I have also noticed a fair amount of teachers that are wildly under qualified or seem to only be in a classroom for the opportunity to take advantage of the system (frequently missing work, not actually teaching their students content, etc.) Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students. It is very heartbreaking.

"My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary."


I can relate to this. I'll be entering my 4th full-year teaching. In my short time working in education, I have become the most senior and qualified teacher for my subject and grade level. I do the bulk of the curriculum planning for my subject.

The politics injected into public education via State Superintendent Ryan Walters is absolutely disgusting.

First of all, I'm not sure this is the best community for this, so if you think there is a more suitable one, please inform me.

So I've been looking for manufacturers that sell computers with Linux out of the box and I remembered hearing about Tuxedo Computers. Some people seem to really like them, but I've also heard of some people complaining about them too.

And so I've come here to ask this community what are your experiences with this vendor? Is there somewhere else I should look? Thanks in advance.

We have a few Tuxedo computers and some other Linux brands at our company and are generally happy about them. Cheaper devices have a less than perfect keyboard (though I liked the one on the slimbook) a worse camera and microphone (though some are very ok).

I'm very happy with these Linux devices. The few makes for which we needed parts also supplied them but sending the device their way for repair took longer than we'd have wanted.

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can't afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn't working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can't really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren't fitting my use case...

Gosuki: a privacy friendly, real time, multi-browser, extension-free bookmark manager

Developer @blob42@lemmy.ml

I just released the first version of Gosuki, a multi-browser real time bookmark manager I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers and even external APIs such as Reddit and Github.

I was always annoyed by the existing bookmark management solutions and wanted a tool that just works without relying on browser extensions, self-hosted servers or cloud services. As a developer and Linux user I also find myself using multiple browsers simultaneously depending on the needs so I needed something that works with any browser and can handle multiple profiles per browser.

The few solutions that exist require manual management of bookmarks. Gosuki automatically catches any new bookmark in real time so no need to manually export and synchronize your bookmarks. It allows a tag based bookmarking experience even if the native browser does not support tags. You just hit ctrl+d and write your tags in the title.

Feature Highlights:


  • A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
  • Use the universal ctrl+d shortcut to add bookmarks and call custom commands.
  • Tag with #hashtags even if your browser does not support it. You can even add tags in the Title. If you are used to organize your bookmarks in folders, they become tags
  • Real time tracking of bookmark changes
  • Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
  • suki cli command for a dmenu/rofi compatible output
  • Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
  • Browser Agnostic: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them
  • Also handles multiple profiles per browser
  • Stores bookmarks in a portable sqlite database compatible with the Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
  • Can fetch your bookmarks from external APIs (Reddit and Github for now).
  • Easily extensible to handle any browser or API

It's open source with an AGPLv3 license, Checkout the README and website docs for more details.

What makes you think suspending an election is going to tip the scales?


Mostly that at least right now there's hope for midterms to change things in Congress and then the presidential election to get Trump out. Right now we still have the trappings of a Republic. I think if elections got suspended all belief in a peaceful solution will be erased and people will react.

You have a point though, bread and circuses go a long way towards kowtowing the population. That and the risk of death at the hands of the state. I don't know where the line is that people will readily accept potentially getting shot especially if they're in white man suburbia.

We are past the eviction deadline. Please don’t look away.

I know I’m new here, and I understand some may feel unsure about trusting a stranger. But I come to you with my heart open, because we truly have nowhere else to turn.

My name is Britnny, and I’m a transgender woman living in Gorom refugee settlement in South Sudan. I’m here with three other queer sisters women I now call family. Together, we’ve survived what most people couldn’t imagine: daily threats, hunger, violence, and complete abandonment. But now, even survival is slipping out of reach.

The South Sudanese government gave us an order: leave the camp and go to Juba or face arrest. That deadline has already passed. We’re living in terror, unsure when the next knock on the door might come, or when we’ll be dragged out, humiliated, or worse. We weren’t given any help no money, no transport, not even a safe place to go. And for people like us trans and queer women Juba is not safe. We fear being beaten, harassed or even killed in the streets simply for being who we are.

Right now, we’re holding on with nothing. No shelter, no food security, no peace of mind. We don’t need luxuries we just want a chance to be safe. A kind friend who was once in the same camp helped us set up a fundraiser to help us relocate safely and find shelter in Juba. But we need help to make it real. We’re not asking for pity,we’re asking for solidarity, for a hand to hold while we try to escape what feels like a death sentence.

Please, if you can share, donate, or even just boost this message, you could help save four lives. We just want a chance to live. A chance to breathe without fear. A chance to make it to tomorrow.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for not turning away.

With love and hope,

Loops, like everyone rightly said, but while this initially peaked my interest, at this point I'm a little skeptical about this project. Dev seems very keen to overhype and tease new features, but usually fails to deliver, like the webUI that was supposed to be days away last year but still doesn't exist. For a fedi platform, not being able to access it via a browser on a desktop is the most bizarre thing to me. I'd hate for fediverse tech to follow this mobile-only trend.

Add a new souce of this type, and it will add a new audio track, for which you can select which application(s) you want to be captured for that source. Works pretty much like the pipewire screen capture source in obs, but for audio.

I usually have 3 of these sources running: Discord, Game and Music player audio; in addition to a normal full desktop audio capture and my mic. They all go on separate audio tracks in the output file.

simply being lgbtq+ isnt eligble enough, you would have to face persecution, as lgbtq+ isnt threatened as a whole in the USA in the near future(jailing, killings, wartorn). eg,some place fleeing from IRAN AS LGBTQ+ would be eligible, or of a specific demographic like religion(ba'hai).
You can still flee to safe spaces in blue states, blue areas, so its not really eligible, unless all the states starts targeting lgbtq+(with above persecutions), right now its mostly rhetoric and anti-trans laws here and there, and not really enforced as a whole for the most part.
