I had a two laptop: one main for gaming and a shitty computer for school. I had to code on python. It was easier to setup on linux. I liked KDE. I installed kubuntu on the laptop for school.

As soon as I stopped playing videogames on my main computer I went for linux definitely

Edit: it was 10 years ago

I tried ubuntu touch. Not having any banking app was a pain. I was not successful in using signal. WhatsApp is also very used around me. So I gave up.

I wanted to degoogle so I tried iOS. It is absolute garbage.

I think /e/OS, GrapheneOS and CalyxOs are the best to use right now. I might buy a fairphone with /e/OS despite the price when I will change phone, because I do not want to buy a pixel

Does it mean that the swiss government will become a major open source contributor ?

You’re right. I will stop recommending other instances

Well, reddit liberals will be better over there, wouldn’t they ?

I prefer lemmy.ml to stay a leftist instance

tolerates xenophobia

I didn’t know this :(

This is not your space;

Wtf ? Keep it cool man. I joined like one year ago, when it was still labeled as a leftist instance. So I’m okay with it being leftist

A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers

However, it is not labeled as such in the sidebar anymore. So, I thought it was going to become a more generalist instance. If not, we should recommend beehaw.org

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Also, it is against rule 2 to be that exclusive.

Yeah, support to Russia makes no sense to me. And comparing NATO expansion with Russian try to expand with the war in Ukraine is a really bad take imo

China while with more communist dressing is also a capitalist hellscape

Well, they did a pretty good job at developing their country and capitalists have way less power than in the US or Europe for example.

If you compare it to India, the difference is flagrant. In 1990, they had a similar GDP per capita ppp (source). Now it is 3 times higher. They also take serious actions against poverty according to world bank (source)

However, the ban are clearly excessive. People should be allowed to denounce what happen in Xinjiang and Tibet

Don’t want to be that guy but… Historically, lemmy.ml was a leftist place (like radical left). The first surge of user was when a pro-CPC subreddit was banned. They created an instance that was the biggest for some time if I recall correctly (for the curious).

Now, when I joined, I was somewhat taken aback by the sheer amount of propaganda on Lemmy in general, and the somewhat belligerent attitude of some users.

With the new users it should change to be more centrist and we should see less and less this kind of post as they will get downvoted

A worldnews sublemmy on another server such as lemmy.one can be the place where anti-CCP and anti-Russia attitudes are not considered harmful, possibly encouraged at lemmy.one admins and mods’ discretion.

I think that beehaw’s news community is the place to do so
