It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won't share the information that you don't publicly list.

And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.

Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.

Starting with someone's dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE's unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.

The sugar cookie will be too grainy and brittle as the sugar crystals aren't all incorporated.

Sure, but there's a reason the anarchist presence on Hexbear haa dramatically waned over the years. Like how much is anyone actually valuing left unity while federating with an instance that memes about killing anarchists? A lot of the early drama came out of specifically ML's harassing people associated with anarchists, like that John Kerry shit, including accusations of an "anarchist cabal" (which to be fair remains extremely funny to this day).

And this exists alongside an attitude that left unity in fact is a waste of time, that communists and anarchists want fundamentally different things. And when you combine that with memes about anarchists being reactionaries and feds (oh, but not our anarchists!) and glorification of figures that killed a lot of anarchists and the occasional "anarchists get the wall" memes, like you can't be comrades with people who fundamentally see you as a problem to one day violently remove. There cannot be useful criticism without mutual trust, and I don't think there has been that trust in quite a while.

Wouldn't want bad actors to find privacy respecting software.

My main reason for buying a 6 refurbished was GrapheneOS. Beyond that, it's a phone without an SD card slot or an easily replacee battery. When this phone gets an issue I can't fix, I'll probably re-evaluate what to get - hopefully still a GrapheneOS phone but more repaiarable and expandable.

I have exactly one use for Brave and that has been Steam Deck's game mode as Firefox's context menus don't work in gamescope, and Brave at the time seemed like the best ad blocking Chromium alternative. Apparently it's not, so fuck it.

aren't you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don't do "apolitical" theatrics here.

also a reminder that you can download Vendetta and have client themes and mods on android. i like BetterTimestamps 'cause i can just type out my local time with backticks like `10:00pm` and it'lll post it to discord as a timestamp, converting it to the viewer's local time.

i'm using vencord on desktop but apparently shelter's supposed to be better long-term in terms of plugins not breaking, armcord will let you use either.

And the absurd thing is that we probably should use natural diamonds for jewelry, as it is a waste to synthesize such a common rock. If they weren't hoarded and aggressively marketed as something you have to have, they could just be a neat rock some people are into, there wouldn't be child slaves dying to dig them out of the ground.

If it's wedding ring, the marketing has been about how the purity of the diamond is symbolic of the purity of one's love. So picking an uglier, but purer, diamond then coild be about prioritizing love over beauty or whatever in that person's head.

So not necessarily exclusive to people wanting to present themselves as wealthy, that sort of emotional manipulation convinces broke people to blow their savings on a ring all the time.

There is Rock Pi and other SoC's that have that. That H3/H3+ looks like a good option for a low power server for self hosting.
