Where I live we almost only have mom and pops shops. So I support them as much as I can, but yea it’s hard to get stuff without Amazon , electronic parts and other more specific stuff. Yea Amazon is evil, but just a symptom of a sick system. It’s not hard to see why they are successful. I would use a similar system in a socialist society

Maga much?

Swedish works on graphene even without any Google support. No root needed either.

I am all for ways to increase revenue for devs, I have donated. However ads are anti privacy by default. A way for people that don’t want to donate but still want to support? How about a list of referral links people can use? Good middle ground.

Damn that’s some clusterfuck. My tinfoil senses are tingling. The part on addressing chrome only instead of webp… Seems like a good way for securing pegasus success and at the same time keep plausible deniability

Or do it to a kid , you know the US style

Can you move the cats?

Are these people cheering in the room with us now?

Nah spent a year in India , best Indian spicy food ? London ;) I miss the green chillies as snacks though

Counter arguments has a premise of an argument.

But no Im stupid please elaborate.

I don’t trust Lemmy world since they are fascist cuddling neo libs that block any that are not pro NATO

He have stepped down since march this year I believe. No need to trust , verify. He was a bit of a removed but that doesn’t mean GOS is not trustworthy. Sandboxing on a separate profile ( truee separate which you only get on grapheneOS) combine with VPN , blocklist (VPN or DNS) and no gapps . Not that much. Especially if you run enterprise versions of apps. In EU it wouldn’t be legal.

Depends on your leverage here. But best to change school policy here. In many countries it would not be possible to force people to install WhatsApp or other programs on personal devices. Otherwise they have their own software or use email. Another thing if they provide the hardware.

Not sure unfortunately , I should have a copy somewhere actually but hey don’t trust me. I would expect them to have them archived somewhere as well. You could check out the matrix chat and ask there. https://matrix.to/#/!UVEsOAdphEMYhxzTah:grapheneos.org?via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=nitro.chat

Best option, use graphene and keep the propriety stuff on a separate user profile.

There is also a WhatsApp to go on F-droid . So you need an account then you can use the webapp on the phone.

But yea stuff like that sucks.

I WFH on permanent contract for one of the big ones. I never been at the office, I was recruited online, had my interview online and gotten about 4 months of training online , some more to come.

It works fine. I am more productive than in an office.

Equipment needed are provided and if I need anything I can just order it without much hassle, on the company dime of course. Knowledge is shared between everyone and all information is written down somewhere.

So why are they doing it this way? They get a bunch of well educated people from all over the world. Great pay for the job, not so good if I had an employment in my field.

But everyone are happy since they can WFH. The company get some really good people. At the same time they are forcing some back to the office in other areas. Because well realestate , but also because they didn’t have the organisation in place before the pandemic.

The surveillance part is really not a hard thing for them to do, we are measured on all kind of things. I assume it’s harder for them to do this in other areas.

And those are the ones they force back to the office and at tha same time weed out the ones who won’t accept it.

Never going to the office again , I almost would accept a sale position over that.

Linux , then runt windooze in a VM if you need it.

Reliability is done by redundance. Build 18000 of them. Also Sweden have plenty of hydropower as well. Worked on windpower in Sweden and seen the maps. Shitload of potential. The real reason is who filled who’s pockets.
