  • We do have some similar things, like Meshtastic for messages, but that’s just texting via radio. As far as calls go, it’s mostly also just radio for now.

    Session tried to get a call and text system setup whereby anyone can host a node, similar to a TOR node, but their foundation didn’t reach the funding total. The work is done, but some services are gonna be scaled back a bit. There is definitely a considerable push for systems like that, but they’ll take a bit of time for implementation as it’d otherwise just be another company owned service that’s outside our control.





  • So, different mentalities express themselves in different places. For my workplace, talk about AI as an innovation happens more often. In my day-to-day, all the talk is concern about a new datacenter going up in our community. In the internet, people seem largely against AI. I find it to be a symptom of certain environments leveraging a different thought process.

    I think it’s pretty fair to say, the internet overall cares deeply for expression and humanity, to which AI has fed off of to train, and now regurgitates in inhuman speech. This affects us all, and makes the overall internet experience worse. Oppositionally, AI has allowed businesses to streamline workflows. No more fluffing up an email with bullshit to “sound professional,” just have an AI do it for you and save the time. And as for local datacenters, no shame if you don’t know what they do to communities, but I don’t think you’d believe a Lemmy comment if it’s your first time hearing of it.


  • I’ll second this. I’ve seen people touting marxism-leninism as the gold standard enough that I feel I’m missing something. I wanna learn, I have an open mind, but every time I’ve seen a discussion about it, Every. Dang. Comment. always throws disrespect to any question or criticisim. Like dude I actually want to listen, but please don’t disrespect me for not knowing.


  • There is some validity to this in debates, but when things start getting bad, the lefties all do seem to work together on what steps are taken. That does give me some level of optimism for change in the now, even if the future will have a divide again, I think many of us can agree that the future left-to-left divide is better than the current divide. For smaller examples, anarchists and Marxist-leninists would both be against rising fascism, and often attend similar protests. For larger examples, the anarchist and communist factions of Spain during the 1930s bonded together to fight Franco’s nationalist faction. Now in all fairness, eventually the ML faction usurped the anarchists, but I’m not even gonna pretend to be smart enough to know if that’s just the Soviet’s influence, or communist governments in general.



  • Pretty sure that is it. A lotta people in response to seeing him decry certain technologies tend to say, “that uncompromising nature on privacy is why GrapheneOS holds up so well.” Which I gotta be real when I say that it really does make me feel more comfortable with GrapheneOS’ development. I can’t keep up with all news on it, I’m not wanting to completely audit all the source code, but having a development team led by someone like that does bring a sense of ease toward my phone.








  • I know its a joke, but man I just bailed hay yesterday and I’m really feeling it. My nephew had his first time bailing, fella looks like a bit of a twig, and I could tell he was struggling with it. As is usual, I had to pickup the slack, just as my family did when I was new to bailing as a kid. Bet he can’t wait until the next field is ready next week.



  • Progress happens in spite of them, aye. Feudalism led to capitalism, while it is flawed, I’d say this is an upgrade. Capitalism originally embraced slavery, and while some aspects still exist today, mostly all capitalist governments have put massive blocks on it. Monarchism led to constitutional monarchism, the beginnings of the rule of law. Through this rule of law, democracy could be organized.

    Thr next steps are entirely up to your opinion, yet I feel things will on average improve. There will be setbacks, yet onward we go.
