This is great. I totally bounced off of crank/crankstart, but I think I understand this toolchain better

However, if you’re at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.
Trafficone@slrpnk.netto Technology@beehaw.org•Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’3·1 year agoOne thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we’re better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:
- self-powered, you could call in a power outage
- high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
- freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around “dumb shit you plugged into your phone line” products
We’re still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.

Trafficone@slrpnk.netto Technology@beehaw.org•China hacked Japan’s sensitive defense networks, officials say4·2 years agoOh jeez, the security nightmares I’ve seen here keep me up at night. You’re doing good work, fixing what you could from the inside of where you worked.
No, you might be a primitivist, feudalist, syndicalist, or any of many other ways of organizing society. What you adopt will depend on your values and how you perceive the relationship between people and capital. Ultimately the labels are helpful up to a point, because the application of theory, or praxis, will manifest in ways to meet the need of your time.
Just to get ahead of it, capitalist can mean both one who supports capitalism as a way to organize society, and one who owns capital. From context it’s clear we mean the former definition.

That’s exactly the “problem” being portrayed here, the expected/ideal mode of interaction with social media is compulsive and perpetual. It’s the best way to maximize advertisement exposure. I’m not opposed to the slot machine of content, but it’s absolutely reasonable to expect users to want to go on with their day.
Trafficone@slrpnk.netto Technology@beehaw.org•KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users countEnglish3·2 years agoI think the kbin numbers are deflated because >90% of kbin users are on kbin.social and they are having trouble federating. I think the numbers will bounce back once they resolve the issue.
A lot of posts there are lamenting that Lemmy is harder to sign up for, so I think the influx of users comes from kbin.social’s ease of new user signups. Hopefully they can scale up and get back on the fediverse.
