Man I wish my online friends were that easy to switch.

As soon as I mention Lemmy “what’s wrong with reddit”. As soon as I mention element “but everyone uses whatsapp/discord”.

It suck that 90% of the people are stuck in their old ways and refuse to try anything new.

Hell I almost got banned for even mentioning lemmy once.

Maybe we should stop with left, right and centrist all together.

It’s a stupid way of defining politics. If you ask a random person what being left means it can vary from anything between hugging a tree or wanting good health care.

By calling yourself “green” or “social” you are immediately putting a label on yourself and a lot of people won’t vote for you because they’re too dumb or lazy to actually read into what a party is about. I saw an article here on lemmy that pointed out some moron that voted for Trump in hopes he would save his farm, if he would have read into politics he would have known that Trump was the worst possible choice but here we are…

I’m from Europe and I see the same shit happening here. Call yourself green or left and people will scoff at you.

If there is anything the current “left” parties absolutely suck at its marketing. Call yourself the freedom party or whatever but stop using idiotic terminology that people can’t relate to. Almosr no one will vote for the “environment party”.

I hate the extremist conservative parties here but i have to give them credit for being able to market their party in such a way that people are literally voting on them AGAINST their own best interests.

Yeah I agree. There has to be a bigger plan than this. In 40 years our children will see documentaties about the republicans pulling the biggest power grab ever and using idiots like Trump to actieve it. It’s not Trump playing chess here, he’s just a pawn. There are people behind the scènes pulling the strings.

If what currently is happening is really just throwing tantrums without having a plan then I feel sorry for how dumb most of america had become.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

I’ve already settled on making lemmy my new home a long while ago. I like it here and there is more than enough engagement.

What i can’t really find an alternative for is discord… it’s going through the “enshittification fascism techbro” phase.

I tried matrix but honestly it sucks, Its so incredibly buggy it’s barely even usable. I’m still willing to give it a try since it seems very promising but the instability is a big downside.

I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.

While both of those are great software. Unless I’m not aware of something they aren’t cloud/network based office suites like Google docs and office 365.

It seems this is an alternative to office software where you can work simultaneously and share documents in the same cloud/network.

I don’t think there is an alternative to office 365 and Google docs at this point that is open source. So this seems like a great project and I’ll definitely be considering it for our company.

install app

“Do you agree to share your information with 289 of our partners or opt out by going through a list and deselecting them one by one”?

Yeah any app that asks this is guaranteed spyware.

Also, use F-Droid as much as possible. It’s not perfect but still miles better than the play store

When a regular person makes something available that shouldnt be behind a paywall to begin with it’s stealing. When a billionaire or company uses ai to gather data from paid sources or just straight out plagiarises it’s just maximising profits.
