Yeah it’s really sad. When I was working retail I met an older woman who, when I mentioned I wanted to go to uni for CS, she told me she had done CS at uni but had to drop out because she got pregnant and then she just never got back into it, and now she’s working minimum wage at a supermarket. A lot of the issues around the lack of women in STEM is to do with the division of reproductive labour and the inability for women to pursue STEM interests and careers alongside their expected duty of homemaking/child-rearing.

(you may want to post this to !privacy@lemmy.ml or a similar community… I suppose GOS uses the Linux kernel technically but I think this community is for desktop Linux lol)

GOS is really nice. It’s very seamless and user-friendly, whilst still being very unbloated and minimal. You still have everything you’d expect to have on a phone but the environment is nicely minimal and lets you only install the software you want.

I’ve been using GOS as my exclusive mobile OS for many years, never had any technical problems with it.

You can use bluetooth headphones or usb-c headphones. Including the bluetooth headphones google sells. Afaik they are still just bluetooth headphones.

How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?

Easy: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Media_Transfer_Protocol

You don’t even have to do it with pen and paper. You can install whatever operating system and software you want on your computer. If blocking certain resources on the internet is an issue, you could torrent public keys, use tor, use i2p, or worst case scenario deliver a USB drive to your friend’s door.

What saying?

Alpine with a cronjob to apk -U upgrade or auto-updating Debian Stable

That’s true, but I’m not a professional myself and hobbyist/enthusiast communities also need a better culture.

I imagine people who are into gardening would be interested in if the head of a popular fertiliser company was a massive bigot yeah

It’s also not even a dogwhistle? Dogwhistles are meant to provide plausible deniability over what you’re really signalling. “Decolonize Palestine from the river to the sea” is an extremely straightforward and explicit demand that already says what it means.

My ISP doesn’t block commercial VPN usage but assuming the block is of known IP addresses of commercial VPNs, what I would do is:

• rent a VPS offshore
• OpenWRT router with wireguard through the VPS
• Wireguard on devices through a commercial VPN

So this would route your traffic home -> personal VPS -> commercial VPN

forgoing the block, whilst still meaning that websites see your IP address as being from the commercial VPN, avoiding de-anonymising you since your VPS IP address will only be used by you

The reason for the OpenWRT router is because generally you can’t have multiple wireguard connections on the same device. I’ve found that wireguard on the router then wireguard on device connected to the router allows me to route my traffic in that way, easily.

Now if your government tries detecting and blocking wireguard connections you’re probably more cooked, however in that case I imagine the kickback from businesses that need to use wireguard would be enough for your government to reconsider? The UK probably doesn’t want a reputation for being a bad place to set up a business.

I think most daemons would log a helpful enough error message regarding incorrect syntax e.g. if it’s a config file of variable=value; format then it wouldn’t expect two equals signs on the same line.

Yes

1. You shouldn’t “trust” as a basis for security or privacy. Eg for protonmail, Proton can still read your incoming emails if they arrive unencrypted; the only way to avoid that is to send E2EE email, which unfortunately most email is not. You should assume that if they can, then they are.

2. If you have to use proton for whatever reason (can’t afford to pay to self-host things, don’t know how to and don’t have time to learn, etc), it’s perfectly fine for everyday use for things that are not particularly sensitive ie you don’t have a highly resourced state actor actively trying to obtain that data. Just always keep the first thing in mind. Too many people treat anything that calls itself “encrypted” as a silver bullet.

Also how do you know they haven’t targeted any republican homes? Republican homes have been targeted in the US. You dunno if it’s the same person.

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with a fictional character. Lean into it and find ways of fulfilling the pain you say you are feeling, eg maybe spend more time writing stories about the character to explore things you want to see the character do or go through.

If you really want to “get over it”, then focus on developing other hobbies and interests. Whatever your second biggest interest is, spend more time on that.

Yeah I’m aware of food communities in general, I was just wondering if there was one just for recipes. But looking at the posts there it does seem fairly recipe-centric. Thanks!

Edit: Although I was envisioning that’s mostly people sharing links to recipe blogs unless it’s a recipe they’re typing out themselves on lemmy. When I was using “conventional”/proprietary/centralised/however you want to term it social media I followed some accounts that were basically “recipe aggregators” sharing links to various recipes they found and liked, and was hoping for something similar. That content doesn’t seem to be on !cooking@lemmy.world. But still a nice community, I’ve subscribed to see more cooking content.

Yeah but in the past few months ive consistently found Swedish Mullvad servers to work (occasionally blocked but if you refresh the page it’s unblocked) whereas the Swiss servers, which I used to use, have been fully blocked for quite a while. I’m sure it’ll change in due time but for now that’s what’s been working. And I have found this for all the Swedish servers I’ve tried and all the Swiss servers I’ve tried. Only tried Mullvad servers as that’s the VPN I use.

Ah right. I wonder if that’s the result of linguistic convergent evolution or however you’d term it, or if the common usage of “begs the question” arose from a misuse of the logical fallacy. I’ve not heard of the logical fallacy myself and only know it from the common colloquial usage, but English isn’t my first language so not sure how common the knowledge of the logical fallacy is among native speakers.

Can you explain what improper “begs the question” looks like…?

Deliberately not capitalising proper nouns as a show of disrespect (countries, people, titles, etc). Not “grammatically correct” but I think it falls under freedom of expression.

FreeTube has been working for me with Mullvad VPN set to Swedish servers. Also https://inv.nadeko.net/ if I need to share links with anyone.
