Yeah, I can’t login to Boost or Jerboa on Android, so it’s not just you having login issues.

Imagine if debates weren’t aired live either. It would just serve as proof as to what fools politicians made of themselves in order to provoke a reaction. Imagine if the only way to know about what’s going on in a debate was to read the transcript or read commentary from the press. If the recorded video of what happened during the debate is only released after elections are over, it disincentivizes making the debate into an entertainment shitshow.

Yes but the browser engine isn’t really the main selling point. Kagi is building with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It’s privacy respecting, fast, and extensible.

Webkit! It’s currently only available on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.

It’s kinda absurd if you think about it. We’re here arguing about Standard Time vs Daylight Saving Time while people are literally dying every year due to losing sleep every spring. I wish more states would just bypass Congress and revert back to Standard Time.

The problem is that if the resulting state is a democracy with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians, Israel will no longer be a Jewish state. This is the reason why I believe a democratic Palestine, with control of all Israeli and Palestinian territories, equal rights and protections, rule of law, separation of church and state, an independent judiciary, and a system of checks and balances, would be the best solution to this problem. However, neither Israelis nor Palestinians have shown to be particularly accepting of a democratic, one-state solution, so I’m not getting my hopes up.

The problem is religion being the founding basis for the Israeli state, and the solution is separating religion from the administration of the state.

Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

Unfortunately, Wayland works terribly on my Nvidia MX150 GPU. It’s an Optimus based GPU, so both the iGPU and the Nvidia GPU are running all the time. I’ve had my Nvidia GPU disabled for better battery life for a while now.

Maybe Asus Zenfone 10 is the way to go.

Just started using Lemmy more because my favorite app is back! Definitely impressed with the UI/UX. Familiar and easy to use!

Personal anecdote, but I was in Taiwan recently for my grandmother’s funeral. People (at least in Taipei) are surprisingly pro China. I’ve heard excuses like, “Chinese people don’t fight Chinese people” or “China is threatening Taiwan to tell the US to back off, they don’t actually want to do anything.” Also, there has been rising skepticism towards the US due to a perceived refusal to back Ukraine by bringing them into NATO.

There is no doubt in my mind that, if China chose to go to war, that the US would defend Taiwan with boots on the ground. I see Taiwan as too strategically important for defending the liberal international world order, and letting Taiwan fall would set a precedent for the South China Sea, where China’s getting its way could spell the end of freedom of navigation in a region that a third of global trade passes through.

Given current Taiwan political trends, I think many people are dissatisfied with the Tsai administration and would like to seek more business and cultural exchange with the mainland. Among the four presidential candidates, if you add up the three opposition candidates vs the incumbent DPP representative Lai, you will see that a majority oppose the DPP. However, there has been indecision as to which opposition candidate to unify behind.

Exactly. Not everything needs to be a goddamn SPA!

Svelte is for if you hate React and like vanilla JavaScript. Solid or Next is if you like React.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

Got it. Get a MacBook and install Asahi Linux on it. 😅

For example Red Hat Enterprise Linux. They’re FOSS but they charge money for support.

For beginners, I would definitely recommend Zorin OS since it can run .exe files in case there’s no Linux version (.deb, flatpak, snap, etc.) of the software you’re looking to run. You can use Wine in any other distro, but I feel like Zorin OS makes it foolproof with a simple UI.

Eh, it’s opt-in so if even if you don’t do anything, nothing changes.

It’s perfectly fine to ask users if they’re okay with telemetry. I’m fine with that. The problem comes when it’s opt-out or if there’s no way to opt-out.
