Been using a degoogled LineageOS phone with all apps being exclusively FLOSS. My favourite free alternatives to proprietary apps and services must be Lemmy (Jerboa) for Reddit, ArcaneChat and Matrix (Extera) for Telegram, Fluxer for Discord.
Which ones are your favourite?
What free in-depth video course, article series or book would you recommend to learn kubernetes?
The goal is to get to junior devops level of expertise, so I’m not talking about ‘learn k8s in one hour crash course’.
Didn’t know about Indus civilisation. Very interesting!
How do you see anarchy in the past (like, say, in ancient Rome)?
… Not to be contentious, but ancient Rome was not anarchy in any meaningful sense.
Okay, I might have worded that bad. What I meant was how do you see historical societies that were hierarchical, like ancient Rome, going anarchical instead?
IMO, we were not psychologically prepared as a species to master agriculture so quickly.
So the problem is dismatch between psychological and material development?
How do you see anarchy in the past (like, say, in ancient Rome)? And why do you think humanity went to hierarchy? Genuinely curious.
Aren’t capitalism and hierarchical societies in general a necessary stage of human development?
Mastodon is focused on posting on your personal account’s page and doesn’t really support groups AFAIK. Lemmy does have groups (communities) but doesn’t support personal posts. While I get that the two mimic their proprietary counterparts and this defines their functionality, as a self-hoster I’d like to host just one service that would combine the functionality of both Mastodon and Lemmy and potentially other Fediverse platforms.
So what is the platform that implements the most of ActivityPub features?
There are ocean moons in our solar system?
Just learned it from your post. That is absolutely mind-blowing!
Etymology doesn’t exist separately from the meaning of the word. If something is called “womanism” (the literal translation from Latin), that means it actually does have to do with women.
Yes, I have heard a lot of feminists talk about also fighting against patriarchal expectations placed on men, but again the opposite of patriarch is matriarch, not gender equality. So women are still considered victims and men are considered aggressors - or victims of other men, for that matter. It’s still in essence a fight of women against men. If it wasn’t, it would be called something else. For example, humanism, because the word “human” makes no gender distinction.
Well feminism is from Latin “femina” - a woman, so it is a fight for women’s rights, and not for gender equality. Men also face lots of expectations that can be called toxic, like supressing their emotions, being the one responsible to bring the beacon home, going at war etc. These things are out of scope for feminism.
The oldest tech I have are laptops from 2006, 2008 and 2009, a pc from ~2010 and an android phone from around 2012. I also have lots of newer stuff.
I’ve already built a home server from the most suitable pc. What other real use cases for old tech would you suggest? What is your experience?
What phone do you use? Which apps if any do you have to resort to using on Waydroid?

That sounds pretty impressive! Do you also buy your tech the same way?
Qutebrowser. It’s a bare chromium engine (QtWebEngine) with some very neat vim bindigs. I even have a key sequence to toggle my proxy!
Well, maybe they actually do have nothing to hide? I’ve recently realised that people who are dependent on Big Tech just don’t value their privacy the same way babies don’t care about being naked in front of other people. If you hand over the responsibility for your life to somebody else, you kind of hand over yourself, too, and there’s no point in seeking privacy anymore. So the actual issue is people’s passiveness and lack of agency in their interaction with tech. If they embrace FOSS, that is being a creator and not just a consumer in the world of software, they’ll start valuing their privacy, just like a teenager learning to be independent simultaneously develops the need for having their own boundaries.
