  • Funny thing is that the more you block, the less these bans matter. Every time a big social media gets blocked, a few more unaware people install a VPN (even if a sketchy one, but that's a completely different story). So pretty much everyone around me uses at least one banned service, which in turn makes all the other bans not matter. The only instance when it does is when they block the previously-working means of ban evasion (like when they blocked Wireguard/Openvpn last year) and people have to find a new one.

  • get none of the benefit of being android

    As someone who uses Graphene... No? It gets the benefit of being usable as a daily driver and having tons of apps. What exact perks are you talking about? You overestimate the benefit Google gives to the OS' user.

  • Especially since you can selfhost the server for location sharing!

  • There are several major degoogled Android projects, while Linux on phones is nowhere near mature enough for mainstream use yet.

  • That's awesome. I just know that someone in my country complained about the absence of offers in our currency and region, even though they're available and allowed. There was apparently just more variety on Bisq. Hope there are more diverse offers soon!

  • there is also Bisq - Haveno's older brother, but Bitcoin-only. Not tried either, but given how much longer Bisq has been around, my guess is that it has a bigger chance of having a suitable offer.

  • I recently noticed that this website has an AI picture as a main banner and now I can't unsee it. I really hope this was just a placeholder, otherwise that's disgusting.

  • I have come to the opinion that until stores and malls accept crypto, they will never grow betond being a commodity like gold

    I don't think they need to either. In the physical world, cash is the absolute best. Using crypto in the real world is like using cash by mail - cool gimmick but very impractical. Crypto is a way to buy your VPS, domain, email, etc - the purely virtual things.

  • GeoGebra! Our school used it for demonstration on the lessons and had us do homework in there! Have good memories of it.

  • Or a Raspberry Pi. Is more expensive ($60 for my Pi 3), but I think it was worth it due to versatility and privacy. Stock Android TVs would be uncomfortable as they spy on you.

  • To have a massive wall of video, you need to have a home spacious enough for a whole spare wall first! I haven't seen a <1m screen that would fit in the kitchen corner my TV occupies on an arm - I don't even think a projector would work with a screen this relatively small. And where would the projector itself go if opposite of that corner is the couch/bed? Sit on my lap?

  • And even if you do manage to get far enough - until your parents veto your choice of a partner.

  • Yeah. This is ignoring the fact that not only did they live in the same house, but also the adults used to have the absolute authority over their children. Living standards changed and it's okay. Even now, my parents dread me living with them as an adult because that would mean me never becoming fully independent.

  • It's proprietary and centralized. No practical difference. IRC and XMPP are the way.

  • Too bad it's only for a handful of Western countries :( I hoped I wouldn't have to look up bus arrivals in the browser anymore.

  • A smaller one than that. But yeah, fair - Reddit does deny me entry from it.

  • One of the reasons I use a VPS rather than a commercial VPN.
