Free porn tends to be full of abuse towards its actors. Not that paid porn is automatically ethical but there are definitely indie options where no one is being coerced into performing sexual acts they're not comfortable with. Also if you have a niche fetish sometimes the only options are paywalled.

Unless you specifically look for jobs at politically oriented organisations (eg companies that pander to the privacy-conscious crowd, non-profits, etc), I just keep my professional life and my political life separate. I'm sure most people just have a "work profile" for job stuff and keep their personal life private.

Maybe? I remember I have used it to read optical discs before (on Linux too) and I don't think I've unplugged anything

Afraid I don't have a /dev/sr0. Tbh I built this PC yonks ago, I don't remember how I plugged in my optical drive. I assume SATA would be the sensible and most likely option.

I'm on Artix Linux with runit if that matters at all?

I mean, it doesn't matter to me whether or not I can eject my optical drive with a command, but at this point I'm just curious as to where the drive is on the filesystem lol

Edit: I tried loading sr_mod with modprobe sr_mod (which wasn't loaded for me) but still not seeing any sr* or cdrom in /dev. Again, not too bothered about this, but I'm kinda curious.

pretty much all agriculture, grocery, etc would become luxury and less needed or used.

But if everything is reset every day, you still have the same stock of food available every day, and it never depletes (beyond the depletion that happens in 1 day, but that gets reset quickly). And any money made from selling food is also not kept. I can't imagine food sellers would be bothered to try enforce their prices when profits etc don't matter. Maybe food just becomes free. If we're optimistic, people might prioritise getting food to people who are already starving, since the people who are well-fed won't be too bothered by going a day without food.

I still have a disk drive but eject doesn't seem to affect it since for some reason I don't have a /dev/cdrom. I just checked with the physical eject button on the drive and it is at least still physically working—the tray ejects! I don't have any optical media to test if the drive still works to read CDs though

I'm just using Obtainium, but I assume they probably will put it on F-Droid soon.

Will have to see long-term if this is a good option of course, as it's not been long.

I support moving off GH but

There is no way to send in a patch, raise an issue, or anything without an account there

Currently this is the case everywhere? With the exception of projects that take email patches, currently all the options are centralised/not federated, and even if e.g. Forgejo finished adding ActivityPub integration you'd still need an account on some Forgejo instance to contribute. Same for email patches; they still require having an email address. If it's specifically about giving MS your data, sure, although iirc the only data they actually require is an email address. You can use duckduckgo's duck addresses to get one that's relatively anonymous (i.e. can be deanonymised by duckduckgo but I doubt anyone's conspiring that hard to deanonymise a random github user).

If I'm that smart maybe I can work out how to make myself beautiful too.

Because it's so simple, a good default config can be a one-liner. For similar functionality to default sudo:

 conf

    
permit persist setenv {PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin} :wheel

  

Allows members of wheel to run commands as any user (if you just run doas <cmd> it will default to root), and "persists" for 5 minutes, ie if you run doas then for the next 5 minutes in the same session you won't have to enter your password to run doas again, similar to default sudo settings.

What problems were you having where you couldn't get it to work?

Very useful for shell scripts that need to do maths as well. I use it to make percentages when stdout has values between 0.0 and 1.0

Obviously it's early days so we'll have to see if this is a sustainable alternative.

And that's precisely why OP is asking for frontends. So they can view the posts. They aren't looking to make posts.

Use a VPN and a good ad/tracking blocker

Have you tried going to Instagram with a VPN on? You can't see shit unless you log in, and I don't want to make an account.

No, I don't see the irony, and I didn't take it as a dig either. I just don't see the two being contrary to each other. "I don't think political discussion on social media is particularly fruitful" doesn't mean I'm going to pretend I'm not a communist or not mention it at all online.

? What irony? I don't think the username of communism implies you're... organising on Lemmy lol

I guess my experience with open social media is that there are far too many radlibs who insert themselves into communist discussion spaces. On platforms like Twitter the effect is less bad as you can select who to follow and your followers will select themselves too. But the maximum extent of discussing organising strategies etc I do with online people I don't organise with, is discussing things with a private Matrix group of some online friends who all have solid politics and are good organisers in their local scene (we mostly live in different countries). I think a lemmy community around organising would probably attract a lot of low-quality discussion, based on what I've seen of organising talk on public social media.

And I just don't see the necessity of going beyond your orgs to discuss strategy. People do write articles about strategy you can share and discuss with your org, but we've never discussed social media posts about strategy. You can discuss union strategy with your union; unions should provide organising training to its members. Unless unions are practically nonexistent where you are and you're starting from scratch, but at least here you can join the union for your trade and you'll be trained on how to organise by union organisers. For non-union orgs, if it's self-sufficient and large enough you can get plenty of fruitful discussion among your comrades, and it will be tailored to your specific context and organisation. I don't even know what country you live in; how am I supposed to give you the most effective advice as an internet stranger?

Why would you go to Lemmy for that? I'm politically active in several local organisations and if I have anything to discuss about that I discuss it with them, not with random people on social media. This is just not the platform for that.

Notesnook at the moment. Excited that they're started supporting self-hosting. It seems immature but working well for people. I'll get round to hosting my own sync server when I have the time and maybe once self-hosting is more mature.
