Yes I know a lot of people on .ml are not tankies but .ml admin is repeatedly banning anti tankie discussion. See my other comment above. Look at the modlogs and you’ll find people being banned for critical thinking. I blocked the instance because Lemmy <> lemmy.ml . The code can always be forked.
User accounts can be migrated to new instances with version 19
I’ve seen multiple posts from people who were banned from .ml and I looked at the removed comments and modlog myself, and people are being banned for even mild general discussion of topics debating the legitimacy of totalitarian communist policy.
.ml is terrible. They actively ban people who aren’t tankies. Reasonable discussion is not allowed there. If there is one instance that should be defederated it is .ml

The problem sort of is capitalism right? These public good projects should have public funding. Imagine if the public funding for open source software projects was like that of the Apollo program in the 60s (2.5% of gdp).
!cranetrainexcavators@lemmy.world baby. Does reddit have that? No. Didn’t think so! ;)

I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.
I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It’s just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap. I don’t mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.
trying to get away from Google services / looking for a libre solution.
I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That’s the biggest obstacle for me because I’ve never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.
Android/Google telemetry.
I’d like just one piece of technology that doesn’t use my information to sell to the highest bidder.
thanks for the rundown. I definitely am eyeing a Linux phone but I don’t think I’ll buy one until a lot of the bugs are worked out on the next model, maybe the Pinephone Pro v2 or whatever the next one is.
Right now I just use stock android with all Fdroid apps, nothing proprietary at least as far as apps go. And with Rethink DNS/firewall it pretty much blocks 100% of Google’s telemetry. Seems to be a happy medium before I can switch to an alternate like graphene, e/os or preferably a better hardware linux phone.
I see - thanks for taking the time to explain the backstory, very interesting.
serious question… not everyone on Lemmy is a computer expert, lol
I don’t quite understand, why would Microsoft sue you for a lemmy comment?
what’s with the link in every comment? just curious
Fdroid shows Fennec with anti features, tracking to Mozilla and Google, and proprietary upstream code. Is there a good fdroid browser without anti features?
temporal displacement obviously
