  • learn magic tricks. walk up to someone with an unsuspecting stance but a glimmer in your eye: they either look or ignore.

    move your arms gently yet dramatically in large motions to bring attention to your hands being held comfortably at a distance from your chest.

    perform the magic trick.

    smile.

    you are now connected to a conversatinal partner.

  • idk thats fallacious assumption of knowledge and generalizing i feel uneasy to let go unchecked.

    most people talk to are intimidated and confused about mobile operating systems. by your assuredness i assume you use Linux and are cynically pragmatic about "non-tech savvy users who are fucked anyway" /my bias speaking

    imho a video of a phone teardown to physically remove front camera & microphones & what else the person don't feel a want or need for together with the overview that shows the beginning-to-end of the brief process assures people they can take the plunge into governing their own digital tools.

    you're not the state, just a person online, so not aimed at you, but i find others deserving of positive encouragement. leaving the door open and lights on to people wondering if GrapheneOS & a Pixelphone is the silverbullet or if stock android is as good as LineageOS (edit: yes, even on the phone held in their hand right now, or found about to be sold for 20$.)

  • people keep bringing up buying a new phone for thousands of non-dollar currencies. . .

    consider this: pick a trashed phone out of the literal trash and 2nd hands around high-income households, look at 'teardown' videos like me, use a screwdriver to unscrew fromtcamera & whichever other component (Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, gyroscope, ...) & install LineageOS.

  • ah shite! =(

  • Open Source @lemmy.ml

    installing LineageOS is easy, actually

  • that's a realistic personal fear.

    i do mean grassroots change as in people being the change to see in the world. while i'm certain this needs protection from any sabotage (see american interventionism) i know it needs to be an empathic core of pacifism at heart where conflict doesn't entail violence and competition doesn't entail polemy.

    i wonder if money is the impossibility, since money existed before writing allegedly, or if military power to disrupt is the impossibility- arms dealing is a supply that creates demand historically (broadly speaking, with emphasis on the automated arms deals that ignited cold wars and FOMO all around while warmongerers profiteered- hence divesting oligarch-amounts of money to begin with.)

  • so it's systemic and needs cultural activism at grassroots level to truly change the landscape?

    i suppose death of such people only inspire such grassroots change after all, not actually changes as much by itself- like directly.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    what if Jeffrey Epsteins mansion would've blown up?

  • do you search PeerTube instances using the curated fedi.video or sepia search or another way?

  • Technology @beehaw.org

    if we could swap mainstream platforms, which would be the centre of mainstream instead? Friendica, Mastodon, Peertube or something else entirely?

  • thank you for the clear overview

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    when are the upcoming political elections held in america?

  • wack that you and OP get downvotes for stating a sane question and a great recommendation

  • i've been meaning to report on the state of nordic countries alot more. now i did a bit

    i encourage you to compose some and share some!

  • these began without allowance from state. originally barns on 'bondgårdar' were dedicated to this purpose seasonally by 'bönder', so there was direct source of food and space given on "private property". these days all 'folkhögskolor' have long-courses --- spanning a year (august to june) with some for permaculture and other agrarian purposes starting in january --- and short-courses, spanning a week. these days most 'folkhögskolor' act as hostels and conference halls too in addition to gymnasiums for teens who y'know hate being in state gymnasium. (edit: the oldest students i've met are retired 60 year olds. no age restriction on folkhögskolor.) sympathic way forward, my life would've been better had i gone this route sooner than later.

    i would suggest finding private property owners who can provide a kitchen, showers and space to house people (bunkbeds can be a start before finding everyone a separate room.) maybe you who read this are one such private property owner? /rhetorical question

    i would also suggest finding 'studieförbund' like ABF, NBV, IOGT-NTO etc. equivalents for funding and mostly as these are a short-cut through paperwork to legitimize the endeavour as an education with legal right to endow grades and certifications. like reading up school grades, becoming a certified plumber, et al.

    regardless of if these two are known to you or anyone today i strongly recommend everyone to just travel here on a study visa ASAP. our government hates 'folkhögskolor' and are aggressively defunding these. it's also more and more real-life hidden lore to know of 'folkhögskolor'. how our entire wellfare comes from educating the marginalized in society at 'folkhögskolor'. we have 155 still right now, something like one in every city. most are never full because people don't know they exist these days: so you and anyone have good chances to get in. on the one i am at right now i met with an english citizen, a german citizen, an austrian citizen, an irish citizen and many refugees from war-torn countries coming here to learn swedish. think of this as a boarding school with cheap prices and no barriers to entry. everyone wants you to succeed here.

    i would be glad to keep talking of this, compiling & translating & sharing hard-to-discover knowledge on a sub dedicated to 'folkhögskolor' and in direct messages- whether here on the FediVerse or 1-on-1 over chatmail (an E2EE email evolution. see the free libre open source DeltaChat & it's twin project ArcaneChat.)

    • StartPage, Mojeek, SearXNG, YaCy
    • hyperlink surfing "extranets", as you would WikiMedia WikiPedia InternetArchive FediVerse posts etc.
    • webscrapers like Monolith etc. for offline PIR and just as you say convenience of having it all there

    i look forward to reading what you come up with, because i am still kinda at the theoretical stage with keeping such a knowledgebase.

    edit: i keep thinking a plaintext document of information is way simpler to deal with than webpages. at what point is information posted online preserved in it's "original" form? just dumping this FediThread into a plaintext file or a folder of plaintext files with names being 'hierarchy•postID•username' or something so it is presented self-organized.

    OP is ¤, 1st rank comments are ¤a ¤b ¤c and 2nd rank comments attached to comment ¤a are ¤a-a ¤a-b ¤a-c and 3rd rank comments attached to ¤a-c are ¤a-c-a ¤a-c-b ¤a-c-c so on. this then lists itself in a self-organized way, given all ASCII & unicode characters are provided in order. not just a-Z... because that would limit size of posts to take on.

    ofcourse more difficult and complicated solutions like selfhosting webservers and managing ports and databases exist... not that i grasp the necessity for so many services.

  • fuck yes! corpo infight corpo infight

  • applause that you move your family off of those exploitative spywares!

  • GoboLinux ftw

  • somewhere outside the binary... welcome =)

  • magnetlink to any linux package repo torrent if you don't mind?

    i don't wanna scrape since it takes forever and burdens

  • to summarize the conclusions thus far, as is my secretary duty

    amendments to the protocol of this EU directive are as follows in the first line of ~stallings~ amendments:

    TECO is to be legacy alternative to EMACS and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

    ED is to be legacy alternative to VIM and all personell are to be provided paid leave for educational purposes.

    up for further discussion: are ideologically united editors such as VILE (VI Like Emacs) middleground or offensive to both parties? is it right of marginalized editors to invoke a non-mono~poly~culture clause: "will SAM or VIS be up for consideration?" asks name redacted under GDPR
