I use Lemmy because there’s a good ad free app (jerboa)

for me the other useful thing would be mobile apps. I use jerboa

it’s also available on the play store
this is hard man wish I luck.
how did u handle the visa? I thought on tourist visas you’re not allowed to work. and on business/work visas you have to already have a job lined up.
unless u got a visa by seeking asylum. that’s totally 100% valid given why u left …
good luck man!
downvotes? me thinks some of those geniuses are here.
the geniuses who said “im not voting for Harris because of Palestine” must be feeling really smart right now
it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better
honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.
I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…
hilarious. tx for sharing. updating to include the latest OS airlines tht constantly push ads or ai would be nice
I’m just happy more people are talking about it. but yes the article could certainly have been shorter
so I found it interesting and checked it out. the protocol is all well and good but the problem is social. I’m simply not going to send people my delta chat Id and ask them to message me there instead if they have delta chat installed. I had the same problem with session messenger.
when I meet someone irl I’m trading phone numbers. not asking if they have app X installed.
this might be useful for open source projects where you can use ur delta chat id instead of ur email. but it’s not something I would use unless it’s a requirement to join some community I wanted to.
the problem signal solves by tieing accounts to your phone number is contact discovery. thanks to user IDs you no longer have to share your phone number with people u want to chat with, and can only share your user id
plus signal guarantees the metadata is encrypted. is the same true for delta chat?
for WhatsApp the founders quit over privacy concerns, and made signal
there’s also a nice (long) article by propublica from a few years ago
there’s also session
unfortunately privacy and usability are inversely related. session is private. I loved it. but I had no one to chat with 😃
I had no idea if any of my contacts were on session or not.
you need a phone number to make an account. but you can chat with others without divulging your phone number
out of the frying pan, into the fire
lol no it’s not. taxes went up for everyone making less than 300k. but fox news calls it tax cuts. low income maga voters buy it it hook, line and sinker. high income maga voters actually get the tax cut.
they saw 4 years of this clown and more felonies than fingers, and came out in droves to vote for him.
magas not cracking anytime soon.
I don’t even know you have points on Lemmy. how do I check them
is there a search function in Lemmy to search for posts? is it indexed and does it show up in search engine results?
if yes, that might help a lot with getting traffic
so firefox, fediverse, ducksuckgo/startpage/searxng, and signal. (also, Linux and self host email)
not mildly infuriating. it’s very infuriating
honestly, I have this nagging feeling that stein only runs to deliberately split the democratic vote. she knows exactly trumps position on Gaza, facism and capitalism. and she looks the other way either for personal gain, or because she supports trumps positions
