Ah, so basically the same problem there is on Reddit with power-tripping mods that manage several subreddits.
At least it’s federated so being banned in one instance and its communities doesn’t keep you from joining or making similar communities in your own instance, or joining a different instance
Ah, drama I’m not chronically online enough to understand.
Privilege. That’s the entire thing. Meritocracy is a lie.
I was taught to do
There should be a fucking ISO for this shit tbh
So making sure all bugs are accounted for, and making suggestions/giving feedback to developers, thanks for the advice
Okay, wil lcheck for begginer contributions- I do use some apps from f-droid already, might donate once I do have spare cash flow, thanks for the advice :3
Okay, get practice with it even if it gets rejected, thanks for the advice
That makes sense, will bear it in mind, too. Not neccesarily need to contribute directly, but just being part of the community.
Okay, thank you for the advice! Definitely, if I’m gonna get into the codebase, I’m not gonna let AI do the work for me, if I wanted to I’d just straight up tell the maintainers to lol.
Already got the Github account, and know some basics, but I think I should learn further as I only know the basics (forking, making branches, uploading the modified code to my fork, and making pull requests, don’t even know to do these in detail so I guess I’ll look at more extensive Git and Github tutorials lol)
Okay, thank you, will try to get an old pc when I can afford one to experiment with these and some others things
That’s fair. At least I got an starting point now even if it’s hard at first.
Not OP, but, thank you for this, I will take a look at Amateur Radio.Got any advice (or more like pointers) for self hosting, privacy and security? To me, it seems like a huge effort, both to learn and to keep it up.
Got any advice on how to start doing that, for someone who considers themselves tech-savvy, but not enough to know how to self host, or to know the open source alternatives yet?
I don’t wanna blame them because each does what they need to get by and may not have the energies for more, but if the average person doesn’t start to fight it, it’s gonna be the dystopia.
Unless AI and automatization is done for everyone’s good, and not just for the profit of a very small group, it’s either going to collapse under the demands of the majority, or it will bring us to a dystopia where either the bottom is forced to procreate to keep having cheap labor for the worst jobs, ad-infinitum, or it gets phased out by machines until all there is left is the people on top.
Oh, it is again? Thanks for letting me know! Edit: nvm an account is needed, bleh
Will try this out, then, thank you for the advice! Since I got my PC on ethernet, but still got a network card with WiFi that I don’t really use for anything, I could set it up so the Wifi card acts as part of the VM as a different computer in the network, instead of having to configure the same connection both for my PC and the VM, right?
