Stuff like this is why I don't publicly practice my faith with a specific lineage of Christ believers. Money corrupts if there is not honor or values. Also fuck them for not actually using to help people but themselves. That's why I want to remove Tax exempt status from mega churches. (Not the smaller churches, just the mega ones.)

I just wish there was a way to get the Fairphone in the U.S. I love the repairability aspect and I already use LineageOS as my main OS to keep my devices as long as possible. I also have access to a 3D printer to build accessories and parts for them too.

A good idea if you can't buy Euro is to buy used and flash LineageOS if your device is supported. I'm using a Pixel 4a 5G as my driver with LineageOS since I know how to repair it and I have easy access to parts for them. (Thanks to buying bulk parts from local offices near me that used them.)

Yep Cancun Cruz loves to act like foreskin and disappears when things get hard. 

Yeah, it's hard to believe companies now. That's why I'm building a XMPP server/service to help people move off of centralized services.

Another Kvae user I see. 

Honestly fragmentation is what keeps people that I recommend Lemmy away from it. They are used to the UX/UI doing most of the heavy lifting along with the more politically charged posts being there, my coworker who loves self hosting and tinkering tried to join. But was put off with how much more political things are on Lemmy and some Fediverse instances are and how hostile they can be with certain opinions. But I taught them how to curate their feed for more things tailored to their passions. But they've been on and off since there's multiple versions the same community which feeds into the fragmentation issue. That is just a viewpoint from me, I'm still fairly new to the Fediverse and Lemmy. (Which I love how diverse it is and how passionate people are.)

The video platform you're talking about is called Peertube.

Also I say look into Kagi the search engine. It's a paid one, but it has provided me so much value and they also take Bitcoin as a alternative currency in case the other ways to pay are gone.

 I have been interested in something like this for me and my girlfriend. Do you know if you're able to do the link cable stuff for GBA/GB/GBC games that require it? I appreciate your opinions on it and I hope you have a lovely day. 

I honestly don't try to use the internet as much anymore for entertainment. I use Lemmy for news though since links are available often. I play games on my Switch or card games with others for entertainment.

I didn't notice any loss on my internet. (Idk if it's carrier specific) I am trying to build a mesh network for communications if the mobile networks go down. I.E meshtastic, meshcore, bitchat. So that's honestly my plan, I download all my music for things like these. 

I do wish you luck on getting your drivers license, I appreciate mine. I also do recommend looking into E-Bikes for the time being if you're able to get one and ride it in your area. 

I don't know who Murena is, but I appreciate you sharing this with me! I will definitely look into them! Do they just go by Murena or do they have a Merchant front with a different name?

Would you be cool if I shared this feedback to the Kagi team? I love Kagi and want to help it improve and grow. 

Yeah, I say run GrapheneOS for the best security on android on a pixel. The next best if you want an older device is to run DeGoogled LineageOS, I use a Pixel 4a 5G and it runs superb and it's easier to repair. It also doesn't have the extra BS most phones have now these days. Although I do use a few more apps, defaults should suffice. (Except for messaging use Molly a android fork of Signal or XMPP) 

100% 💪😤 I play on the Switch 2, I've been loving it. I took a break for a bit so I can vibe with other games for a bit until I can figure out if I should start playing multiplayer or finish my quests with my base.

Welcome to Lemmy BTW! You'll love it here!

For all my folks on android a really good chromium browser would be Cromite which is a fork of Bromite a really good privacy browser. I use it with Kagi as my search engine and it works so well for me.

For FF, I used IronFox for a bit. But it had issues with using alternative search engines as defaults. But it's still a solid browser.

I recommend using the TOR browser as a heavy security measure and for privacy if you need it the most. Remember to change the defaults to the strictest security measures for the best privacy and protection from Malware (ads) and the works.

Honestly it's difficult to find these old consoles and games. A sub for them wouldn't be too bad since most people don't really play them that much. It's more for the normies that don't know much about Emulation honestly.

Plus the sub is reasonably priced compared to the prices of Pay-station and MicroSlops Xbox core. I introduced some folks into the world of Emulation due to the sub funnily enough.

Ahh well you could always join someone else's server and communicate through them honestly. 

XMPP is a good alternative and a good client to use would be monocles. Let me see if I can find my link archive to XMPP info and I'll share it with you. 

Sadly BL4 got delayed, I hope they optimize the storage size so it doesn't take 200gb+ to play. I am optimistic for more demanding games for the little console. It makes me hopeful haha.

What was the company's name? I would like to dig deeper into Threema so I can communicate with folks that use it about these changes. 

It wasn't due to only one instance, but more so the way federation works. They got tired of seeing a few political posts when trying to explore what the federated feed has and I ended up doing some work to help them curate a personal feed and set up for things they enjoy the most.

I've helped them curate what they want to see. But since there are so many copies of communities that have varying levels of activity that's what also put them off of using it as a core platform.
