I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist If you wanna know more about me, have a look at: My selfhosted linkstack: https://links.strawberrycloud.org/@Straw(berry)man Or my blog: blog.strawberrycloud.org
Why would you do that? What is so great about arguing online?


Honestly, switching search engines is pretty normie friendly. I’ve got a lot of non-techy friends or family, that use Ecosia or something. They also did it on their own, I didn’t even encourage them to do it.
With things like Linux it’s a bit harder. But if they don’t rely on any specialized software, they are usually fine with me offering to upgrade their Laptops so Linux. I installed Linux Mint on my Mom’s Laptop and she can use it as well as Windows. She never complained about it.
Thanks for your opinion, random ass Valve salesperson.
This is literally me. A friend of mine recently mentioned that they thought about installing Linux and I was instantly like “Please let me come over and install Linux with you” ;)
What is corporate about Debian?


I think they have their own action system (https://codeberg.org/actions/meta), but I’ve never tried it. Maybe you can look into that?
My point about Microsoft was mainly because AI is harmful and often used in a hostile way against open source. Also the fact that Microsoft tries to own the whole free software ecosystem.


That looks amazing!
I don’t want to bother you about that or anything, but Microsoft (who owns GitHub) is a company that’s actively hostile towards open source devs and is actively using GitHub to scrape insane amounts of training data for their own AI models without regard for consent.
Have you considered moving to an alternative platform? Codeberg for example is quite good, all their code is open source and self hostable and the interface is quite easy to understand for someone, who is used to GitHub. It’s also managed by a nonprofit and it’s pretty easy to transfer you repo from GitHub to there.


Hetzner Storage Box Costa 3,81€ per month for 1TB and you can acess it via SSH or WebDav.


What are you talking about?
I literally installed Signal on my Linux laptop yesterday and it automatically downloaded all my messages from my phone.


I mean it doesn’t really matter that much, I am currently on kind.social, because I like the name.
I would suggest you use fedi.garden to find your own server.


Oh no, haven’t thought of that, thanks!


Thanks man ;)


Just don’t use AI and you’ll be fine
How is it, that every time I read an insane take on Lemmy and I look at the username, it’s lemmy.ml? Without exception.
Look at her neclas, now that’s my definition of kool af!
Google Photos -> Immich! Trust me on this, nextcloud is great for a lot oft things, but definetly not photo backup.


I haven’t quite understood, what LiveKit has to do with video conferencing. Isn’t that just some weird AI thingy?
God, I love this meme template
I am not trying to defend him or anything, I know nothing about this guy.
But, according to the Wikipedia article, he stepped down from tönnies, he only inherited the wealth from his father, his brother now runs the business.
So he doesn’t have that much to do with the tönnies business.
