DavidGarcia,

check your most used apps here to see if they work with mircoG: plexus.techlore.tech

I’ve been using degoogled phones for years and I bareley have any issues. only issues are snapchat and google maps give warnings, but work. other google apps work fine.

It used to be you had to regularly do some convoluted workaround to get things working with microG, but that hasn’t been an issue for me for years now.

yeah the fp5 is expensive, but hardware wise it’s the first one I could actually see myself using as a daily driver. Considering that I’d probably use it for 3 years at least, the price isn’t that bad either. However, I’d love to have a folding phone instead, but I’m pretty sure it’ll take a few years until good degoogled roms are available for those. so yeah fp5 seems like a good transistionary device.

DavidGarcia,

I will leave this prison planet. You can’t stop me. I just have to wait for Hale–Bopp to come back around again.

DavidGarcia,

I don’t even remember what I had for lunch yesterday

DavidGarcia,

DavidGarcia,

I support the legalization of dropkicking people with Alzheimers

DavidGarcia,

Not sure if anime counts here, but I just watched Cyber City Oedo 808 and it was pretty dope.

DavidGarcia,

It has some of the best animation I’ve ever seen, and it has the perfect mix of being over the top ridiculous but also taking itself seriously. Also the swearing and banter in the dub is hilarious.

I’m watching all the similar ones I haven’t seen yet next, like Genocyber, Angel Cop, Battle Angel, Angel Cop, Parasite Dolls, etc.

DavidGarcia,

Too bad the Pixel is out of stock

DavidGarcia,

Predestination (2014) would have been a fun one too

DavidGarcia,

Repo Men (2010)

DavidGarcia,

good god, so glad I read that wrong

DavidGarcia,

This is the first one that’s actually attractive to me, mostly because the screen didn’t impress me on earlier models. I hope it comes down in price by 200€ or so.

DavidGarcia,

Rimworld

Kenshi

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly/Misery/etc

And because 3 is too little: Any Bethesda RPG

DavidGarcia,

Very good, I have been thinking of something quite similar. A “what if I could have everything I want” social media platform. Here are some of the most important aspects, maybe they are useful to you:

-Self-governing communities like Lemmy (not sure if instances make sense) with very fine-grained control over who can see and post what. You can either have a completely open community where everyone can see every post and everyone can post OR you can have an invite-only community where users can only see posts since they joined (and are allowed to see) and every post is anonymous OR anything in between.

-I like Lemmy for the ability of instances to block each other, but not sure how that makes sense in the context of a decentralized backend.

-Users should have the option to post anonymously or at least pseudonymously (on a community basis) in any community. They should have a choice if they want to share their post/comment history and with whom. Of course, communities have control over whether they allow that or not too. You might have one community that doesn’t allow anonymous posting at all, and another that only allows it if you have some form of reputation like karma. But I think optional pseudonymity on a community basis is a MUST. And if mods ban a pseudonymous account, the entire account is banned; they can’t just come back with more pseudonyms. I know people will get riled up over this, but I think it is important to let people speak their minds without fear of repercussions, also it’s important for privacy and to protect from doxxing.

-Also, optional automatic post pruning, where posts are deleted after X amount of time.

-Ideally, you should have the ability to have a community be like a Reddit sub, a 4chan-like board, or just you and your friends’ private server.

-Communities can be forked by anyone with the right permissions. They will become the new mods, and the fork with the most users gets to keep the name. For that reason, communities aren’t necessarily hosted on instances like Lemmy, but on some decentralized backend like IPFS. This is so you don’t have to copy all the content and user data, but just the references to it, to make forking as low-cost as possible. This is done to rein in the power of mods, making them work for the users. Also, it would allow communities to more easily naturally split without losing old content.

-I would have an “app market” for community-created feed algorithms, block lists, filtering algorithms, etc., where users can pick based on features, hosting cost, etc… AI filtering is well and good, but it’s still expensive, so you have to account for that. It would give users the ultimate power over their own user experience. I hate outsourcing social media algorithms to other people; it’s like outsourcing your own brain and letting others decide what you think.

-Reposts should be lumped together in yout feed. Ideally, you wouldn’t see the same post twice. This also applies to media; the same photo with a different title shouldn’t be shown twice. But perhaps you have some threshold where if the context is different enough, you show it twice.

-Like you said, AI post/comment filters. For example, I only want to be able to see left-wing comments or comments about cats or positive/negative comments. Comments could be clustered into categories like that, perhaps creatable by the users themselves. Also, I want the ability to see a broad mix of these categories. For example, for political subs, I want to know what each political orientation is thinking about this.

-Comment filters for the most unique comments. It should show me the one guy in a million samey comments who thinks there is a wizard conspiracy behind all world events, if I want to see that.

-Comment section summary, telling you what all the unique opinions in the comments section are. So if there are 10,000 comments about cats and one about a dog, I want to see 50% what the cat and 50% what the dog people think in the summary. Something like that.

-Built-in text post/link summary.

-A trending feature like Twitter, but more with smart keywords, not hashtags. So, for instance, 100 posts about the same soccer game with completely different content are shown in trending with the keyword “Frogfordshire Divided vs. Botingialera FC.” I believe that should be possible and financially viable with LLMs in the near future.

-Reverse image search should be built in, and possibly even image-to-text that will then show you similar text posts to what is in the image.

-Similarly, automatic AI captioning/summary of photo, video, audio content for better search and also for people with disabilities.

-A separate feed like TikTok that aggressively tailors to your revealed preferences, alongside the regular feed. Like how YouTube has a normal feed and one for shorts.

-You should have “recommendation algorithm save points.” I often click on one wrong YT video and my entire feed is off all of a sudden. So, I would like to be able to revert to the earlier point in the recommendation algorithm. Honestly, with modern ML embedding-based algorithms, that shouldn’t be that hard. You just allow users to save their personal vector/embedding. It’s literally just saving a history of vectors equivalent in size to tweets (Xweets? Xs? exes?).

-A built-in conversational AI would be nice, that you can ask about any comments on a post, what is in the post, what is in the image (like “Identify this mushroom for me”).

-Custom multicommunity feeds like multireddits, and also searches explicitly within this multicommunity. I often browse the Imaginary network for concept art, which just lumps together multiple subs.

I would say the forking, the visibiliy/posting permissions, pseudonymity, custom feed/filtering algorthism are the most important features. Everything else is just nice to haves.

DavidGarcia,

I don’t understand why people insist on making this a left vs. right/progressive vs. conservative problem when it is clearly a establishment vs. proletariat problem. The establishment will just wear the skinsuit of any political movement if it helps to increase their power and wealth. Has nothing to do with Christianity.

DavidGarcia,

This entire theory only exists because schools failed to properly teach the concept of leverage…

DavidGarcia,

I don’t understand how mobile apps are still so limited compared to their desktop counter parts. Like I couldn’t even find a single browser that has any of the dev tools in any normal desktop browser. Especially infuriating since websites can just willynilly disable features like downloading images.

DavidGarcia,

Thanks. Never heard of that. Still tho, why the hell isn’t this a standard feature in every browser.

DavidGarcia,

Wie alles so billig war, war das nur weil es von den Investoren subventioniert wurde. Die Preise waren nie langfristig profitabel, ging nur drum um alle Kosten so viel Marktanteil wie möglich zu gewinnen. Jetzt wo sie etabliert sind versuchen sie so viel Geld wie möglich aus einem rauszuquetschen.

Bei den Streamingdiensten denk ich mir SSKM. Ich versteh nicht wieso irgendwer denen noch Geld gibt mit diesem beschissenen Service.

Und Uber hätte sowieso nie langfristig viel billiger sein können als Taxis, wenn die Fahrer ein halbwegs faires gehalt kriegen sollen.

DavidGarcia,

hey, they can’t do that, that’s our trick

DavidGarcia,

Lack of participation in the stock market is one of the biggest reasons why the bottom 80% have slowly lost their wealth in the last 50 years. In this inflationary scam system, you have to secure your wealth somehow. Stocks are a great way to do that. The government is pumping a large part of the money it stole through inflation into the stock market. That’s one of the biggest reasons why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Ideally you would have a money system where the average person doesn’t have to worry about that stuff. But alas, here we are.

The price of Campbell’s Tomato Soup used to be steady at 0.1$ for 70 years, but its price increased by 10x in the last 52 years since we changed to this reverse Robinhood money system.

DavidGarcia,

perhaps they started whitelisting?

DavidGarcia,

they can pass another completely ineffective law that they can point to to get reelected to then give more money to lockheed martin

Group making an open-source and patent free COVID drug using the computers of volunteers (sidock.si)

SiDock is an international scientific collaboration using the computers of volunteers to search through vast chemical space to find a cure for COVID-19. This will produce an open source, patent-free, shelf-stable antiviral that can be used across the world and purchased for low cost....

DavidGarcia,

Patents and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

DavidGarcia,

the economy is real, there’s just huge parasitic leaches sucking out most of the value without contributing anything

DavidGarcia,

Once the fediverse gains significant traction there will be a huge coordinated media smear campaign to associate it with extremism, CP, violent crime, terrorism etc… The “won’t anyone think of the children” attack will be leveraged to ““regulate”” the fediverse (probably by legacy social media like Meta alongside the security state), aka transform it into regular old centrally controlled social media. Upload filters, encryption back doors, know your customer laws etc… Non-regulated decentralized social media will be attempted to be made illegal, not sure if it will succeed.

So yeah eventually any true decentralized social media will have to move completely into the “darknet”.

DavidGarcia,

can it do multireddits too?

DavidGarcia,

my parents said I can’t have it

I wonder how Freud would have interpreted this image

DavidGarcia,

The era of generative AI games is going to be mindblowing

DavidGarcia,

Our econ prof told us “Never trust a statistic you haven’t forged yourself”.

obviously Saruman the 4D-chess-mover predicted that Gandalf would flank them with cavalry and that’s why he brought pikemen to a siege

DavidGarcia,

I generally see the black and blue, but I find it pretty easy to see the white and gold too if I focus on the top part of the image.

DavidGarcia,

Because your brain doesn’t just straight up show you the raw color value sent by your eyes, it tries to estimate the true color of the object based on lighting and context cues.

If you look at a chess board with a gradient shade on it, you brain will tell you the squares are black and white, even tough they are really all completely different shades of grey to your eyes. Depending on the context, literally the same color can appear black or white to you.

All because your brain is trying to be a smartass.

If you get a blood transfusion from a Force-sensitive, do you get Force sensitivity?

I know a little bit of lore, but not a whole lot (I just listen to lore channels at work lol). But the question occurred to me upon thinking about midichlorians. I recall hearing somewhere they connect to blood cells, but I know I’m losing my mind so maybe I just made that up somewhere

DavidGarcia,

Check out this thread.Basically no because they are modeled after mitochondria, that sit in every cell of your body and blood will be recycled way too quickly and the count will be low.

Dooku tried it on Grievous but it didn’t work.

Also quote: Book Of Sith, Page 132, by Darth Plagueis: “a simple blood transfusion is the obvious answer, but I have found that the subject’s native midi-chlorians will reject the influx of foreign cells”

But I think I hazily remember some legends or video game lore including clones where it did work, but it had very negative side effects.

I think if you wanted it to work you would have to use stem cells, organ transplants or some way to inject them into every cell like a virus. And then perhaps give some drugs to suppress the rejection.

DavidGarcia,

the simulation ran out of processing power for a moment

DavidGarcia,

It is actually a covert symbol for white supremacists to identify each other

DavidGarcia,

my man

I have nothing else to ask in this community..... how did I get here? 🤔 (upload.wikimedia.org)

For the past year, I’ve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on...

DavidGarcia,

I’m saying that would be the optimum. I never said it would be easy or actually happen.

But without the goal to aspire towards, it will never happen.

DavidGarcia,

ah interesting, thank you for your help

DavidGarcia,

The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it’s not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.

Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.
