It's an incoherent mess, I was just compelled to share my misfortune with lemmygrad when I found it (sorry lol). And I briefly thought of refuting all the shit he spewed, but honestly my time is better spent doing anything else!
I adore Void; it's been my daily driver for about 5-6 years now. Simple, fast, easy to configure, and the Void Handbook does a great job of detailing Void-specific items that you wouldn't necessarily be able to find in the Arch Wiki, for example.
the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well
xbps is incredible and very fast, but if you're having trouble remembering the commands or just don't want to have to type the chain, I'd recommend looking at vpm. It's a very apt-like way to manage it e.g. vpm update vs xbps-install -Su and vpm search <package> vs xbps-query -Rs <package>
Genmai Cha is a staple for me, I'll always have that around. Other than that I usually have two or three oolongs (Formosa and Jade right now), a black or two, and a few other greens. Really love the Jasmine Pearls I have right now too
It's great to see AES countries beginning to adopt Linux and FOSS, even if it's approached less from an ideological standpoint of FOSS == socialism and more from staying away from proprietary Western technology (Microsoft, Apple). If it's solely the latter, that's still the correct course of action.
"What's happening to Russian open-source developers gave a warning sign to Chinese developers," one user commented on knowledge-sharing website Zhihu.com, referring to many software makers being blocked from the open-source community just because they are Russian or not supporting Ukraine. "Software without borders is just a dream that will never come true, and China needs to build its own open-source community."
...
"This new version signifies that we have gained the ability to lead the OS' development by ourselves," Zhu said. "I hope more users will try our new version and give us feedback."
For sure, people definitely should be educated on what data is open (posts/comments), closed (voting on Lemmy as kbin seems to show them publically), "private" (DMs which are explicitly described as not private and to use Matrix etc. for actual encryption), or secure (Matrix). I feel like a lot of us on Lemmygrad are aware of privacy more than the average netizen, but it wouldn't hurt to have a primer for new users.
I think for social media the best thing would just be compartmentalization of identities, so the usual advice of don't give away too much of who you are and keep usernames separate unless you want them to be connected/known.
I'll disagree on Mastodon being unique given it's an animal and a band - for a long time in its history it was always under those. It's been helped on the search results front though given it's increasing popularity (and I'm guessing yet another new surge due Twitter's rate-limiting). In time once Lemmy continues to grow, I'm sure it'll get pushed up in search rankings as well.
There's a lot of info and discussion on this post that explains why. Pretty much that voting has never been private on other platforms as votes must be tied to users, otherwise users could add more than one vote per post. And this data must also be federated so that other instances' posts are also safeguarded.
Lemmy isn't designed as a privacy platform, it's a socia media type link aggregator powered by ActivityPub. And with this federation brings decentralization, where it's possible to not share data with other instances, but it will have to be shared in some way with any linked instances. There are pros/cons to each style: the current issues with Reddit show the problems with centralization, and there's going to be an adjustment period as more people join Lemmy who don't already know about the Fedi.
Don't make yourself feel like you're a "bad communist" if you're not spending every available hour of your life organizing. You could eventually come to resent your work or comrades and burn yourself out, none of which is healthy for you or your org. A rested, focused, energized, and optimistic you is going to be a lot more productive in organization, and you're going to be mentally in a better place.
I've been down the route of using all my time for organizing, and it's just not sustainable. Yes we're dedicated communists and this is a sacrifice, but we're not all Che. Each of us is not going to be a super-human organizer, which is why we build together as comrades and not individuals.
I would devour the official guides back in the day, constantly studying and re-reading them. It's easy to see how they pretty much disappeared once the internet became more commonplace, but there was something so nice in having a physical copy with everything you could need in one book, instead of having to scour the internet for guides.
I've been using qutebrowser for years now at this point, and it's never failed me. Incredibly easy to customize as well. It's also pretty much pushed its webkit backend aside due to age in favor of webengine. Not great for diversity as webengine's based on chromium, but you don't get the webkit quirks at least
Infinity will also be able to be compiled with a personal API key. That means though that it'll be limited to 10 calls per minute and no NSFW posts, and allegedly Reddit won't like it, but I've been testing it out and it seems to work fine.
I've seen far too many people pasting those raddle links as "proof" that lemmy is bad and to fear the scary tankies, yet they never compare anything to how reddit operates or the fact that lemmy is FOSS.
It goes hand-in-hand with a post-revolution socialist society. Proprietary software is essentially private property, which would be eradicated in a worker's state. It would most likely not be a first priority for the new state as there are more pressing matters - for the US for example, the dismantling of the military and the closing down of all international bases - but it would be inevitable with socialism.
That a Slide for Lemmy is being worked on is incredible. It's the only Reddit app I've used for years after moving away from Sync for something FOSS; it's honestly perfect. I've been using Infinity for Reddit recently as Slide development halting has made it so it's really starting to feel long in the tooth (although I don't care for new Reddit features that Infinity supports).

This shit happens all the damn time where I live. By the end of the day it's a trash pile as high as the container

We joined around the same time, and I definitely remember those days. And as Lemmy grows, we'll always have Lemmygrad as our own space 🥰
