In China it’s illegal to be private though. Skynet, the surveillance system is always watching you when your in public. You have to use phones thay are regulated by the government and you can’t have access to websites thay aren’t whitlisted by the government unless you use a vpn which as far as I know is illegal in China.

China would get a -100/10 for privacy though.

Yeah, I guess so. I still find it difficult to comprehend the idea of emergence, but it kind of makes sense.

Is water a collection of H2O particles but not a H2O particle by

That is a really good point, by saying water isn’t wet you are also saying that water is dry.

Thanks, that makes more sense.

I disagree if there is paint on the paint which there would be unless the paint is 1 particle thick then the paint has been painted. I don’t know what airy means so I can’t comment on that though.

Wait a minute 78+34, eh close enough.

Who else does research on obscure social media platforms because they are fed up with mainstream surveillance capitalism social media.

Edit: If to be a nerd is to have a strong interest in something particular then everyone should be a nerd because having interests is awesome.

I’ll take nerd as a complement.

I had and endless argument with some someone about this a while ago here’s how it works (in my opinion) wetness is not a fundamental property of water instead wetness is having water on or inside something so a towel is wet when it has water in it. But a singular water particle by itself is not wet because it is not surrounded by water but most water is wet because they are all surrounded by other water particles.

void main() { //code }

No, all in one line baby!! I haven’t done JavaScript in a while but I think that will work. After coming from python I thought it was funny you could just put everything in one line.

Just a suggestion if you haven’t already try opening up the laptop and cleaning out the dust with compressed air. I have been given laptops before because they were “old and slow” and I just needed to clean out the dust and they all of a sudden became so much faster (unfortuntly they ask for them back after that). Although I know this doesn’t help with the 8gb problem but just something to consider.

I’m totally on engineeringgamings side. Both apple and Google are both bad companies imo but the Android operating system is probably the best thing Google has made and you have the ability to use it without any of the Google services.

I take advantage of side loading on a daily basis with repository’s like f droid and accresent as well as obtanium for installing apps from the source. And for the few apps I need i can use the aurora store all with never signing in with a google account.

For me the main feature of Android is side loading and I can take full advantage of that with no google account. In my opinion the idea of an ecosystem is a negative, i want the ability to not be locked in to any specific hardware or software vendor.

That’s an awesome story. If all your doing is browsing the Web or using applications that can easily and stably run on linux or have drop in replacements then linux would definitely be totally viable. On the other hand if you need to install specific proprietary applications and you have to rely on wine then maybe not.

And here i am on lemmy when I should be in bed. I don’t even need algorithms to keep me on my phone.

That’s an awesome story. And it really goes against what a lot of people talk about online who often say linux is harder than windows but it’s not unless you need windows or macos specific programs.

I’ve heard of seafile but i remember something about it turned me off, ocis on the other hand sounds awesome, owncloud but written in go? I will definitely look into that and thanks for the recommendation.

That’s right I need native drive mounting into dolphin and Macos finder. Seafile doesn’t have it for any linux file Explorer which means it won’t work for me.

I think Ocis does have it though.

It’s the same situation with Linux just a simple login only has very basic protection you need to encrypt your disk if you want to make sure no one can read it.

I haven’t used nextcloud but it seems frustrating that there isn’t any really good selfhosted file cloud. Nextcloud is really chunky and inefficient but it seems to be the best option despite that.
