I don't understand, what are you trying to say? :(

I haven't completely switched to Lemmy yet. I don't get as much of a diversity of views here.

But apart from Political stuff, I think the people here are wonderful and actually helpful.

This might not be an alternative to reddit and gain millions of followers, but nonetheless, It's good in it's own way. Edit: So many likes, did I mention I am somewhat conservative and don't support abortion after 5 months? Shocking, now downvote me I guess

I like you lol. btw, can I do stuff like control volume using Texmux? Like idk, switch on or off my wifi and turn off airplane mode and stuff

Android with a custom ROM. I won’t mention it

do you know of any projects which has good support (and reputation) which has something like a terminal in it? I mean, I just want a terminal.

Also, I will be happy to spend 500USD on a Linux phone just to support it, but I wanted to know how far they are. Thank you for your comment.

I guess you are right. It would help.

Also need to block certain the open page and other news on reddit (I need it for other things)

I will fight you

Sorry, I’m not quite sure what kind of help you are asking for. I do know one thing though:

somewhat like how to cope with this, i..e, I don't want these things to get to me. My life is in shambles and it's in a good part due to the lack of opportunities in my country and I know for a fact that it ain't gonna change anytime soon.

You really should leave that place if you can

I first used to think lemmy is kinda mehh! But this thing is much more peaceful than reddit!

Can you talk more about them without doxxing yourself?

I don't actually want to talk about it, but I have lost hope. I used to think things would get better when I was younger, but they never did. I see the desperation and resentment in my people and the things they do out of it. Resentment is never a good thing! Never! I have seen people delude themselves, live shitty lives for pennies in salary, I used to judge these people, but troubles started when I stopped judging them, I realized these were people just like you and me, if they were in a better system they would be doing some meaningful work and if not that, they would have money for their medical bills (it's much worse than US here, so no comparision)

It's not their fault, but their lives were destroyed, they don't live their lives to the fullest, they didn't reach their peak potential because of the system they are in. It's not their fault! This was my wakeup call! This made me sad beyond belief, I tbch miss the time I judged my people, but I can't go back.

sensory overload issues?

It's a part of a bigger problem, but yes, it would be amazing if I didn't fucking listen to all these machine noises 24/7

Huff.... It felt good to vent, haha... sorry, you helped by asking how you could help!

Seems like Android which supports a broad range of Terminal commands is the best next thing.

Wow, one of the most helpful and actionable comments and there's no upvotes on it, weird! Thank you!!! and you are right!

might sound stupid, but sometimes (at least for me) I find joy in bringing others joy.

It doesn't trust me, but my realizations about the system I am living in, isn't helping. When I see a kid, I just become sad, they have no idea what's gonna hite them!

Haha.... you sound like an amazing guy to be with, good for you! I will try to bring joy to those around me who deserve it :)

RAM is pretty bad thought :(

3GB, everything else is upto the mark

get used to interacting with bots, didn't you hear, they are the future

Strawberry, built upon Clementine is quite nice (in it's looks), but although it does remember the chapter I was in, it won't remember where I was in that chapter. If I click on that chapter, it would just begin from the beginning. Audacious solves this to some extent.

Maybe you think being in America would solve your problems, but it just presents a different set.

It would solve my problems, and yes, it would give me a different better set of problems. America is nowhere at the buttom when it comes to human development.

I know you said you’ve gotten that advice already. It’s easy to hear but hard to accept.

Yes! So much easier to hear!

I’ve set some goals to improve my physical health

Ohh yes, I need to do that to some extent too.

Thank you for your advice :)

I remember the dark old days when I did not use adblock and then Brave came along and introduced me to the idea and everything was so simple, so much better. I block cookies and scripts on news sites and everything has been far better than what it was a few years ago.

I use Firefox + Ublock now and it has blocked a few million ads for me!

I haven’t completely switched to Lemmy yet. I don’t get as much of a diversity of views here.

wtf! that's no joke, stay anonymous my friend. What the dick that guy must have been!

pretty nice answer. You are right, many times that's pretty contradictory.

How many instances are there? I can if I need to create my own instance right? So, it's just like pirate bay I suppose, you close one instance another will take it's place or am I mistaken?

Clementine, just like it's fork Strawberry will remember which chapter you were in (which file of the playlist you were playing when you exited the application), but it won't remember your location in that file. This is troublesome if you are playing chapters with length of 43 mins - 1 hour as I am. Audacious helps me with this thought.

I can see where you are coming from but heck, after a criminal is caught, it's not in state's interest to punish him except for making an example out of him so other people won't think of committing the crime.

I find it weird that I support Bernie wholeheartedly, even though I am a Trump supporter (yeah, I can hear them coming)

I don't know if you are mocking me or not lol.

I mean, just make sure you don't reveal your original name, address, state your live in, your phone, your ip address or any identifiers which can lead back to you. You don't know which aholes you are dealing with, so better to be safe.

Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn't prefer.

You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn't do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn't view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.

Audacious is what you need.

Good, I am going to date her

Thanks for the link, but imma stick with Audacious for a while, saying your comment tho.

I was thinking I would just run android apps.

Note: Linux phones are notoriously insecure (source)

yeah, now I am not buying it lol. I wanted a daily driver not a phone for some habit :(

r/linux r/linuxquestions

undefined> capitalist

are you a capitalist tho? I mean, I consider myself a capitalist and let's just say people don't agree with me a lot here. anyways, how has this platform been treating you

I wonder how Ubuntu Touch is doing, apparently Ubuntu has given up on it's linux smartphones bet and the project is not officially maintained by Ubuntu now? idk.

Interesting, as an atheist I think the same way too, there is a greater probability that you are insane that there is for a Personal God existing, but I am not sure my attitude is the best, I mean, even if there was a real God and he came before me, I would count myself insane. i.e., Nothing can trump this argument if you believe in this, sounds a bit close minded to me, I don't know what the right way is either.

I didn't mean just get there, I meant have the problems you guys are having. I.e., your problems are better than mine.

I can "get there" even now it was want to, on a tourist visa or something, I meant more like swap places

That hellscape you are talking about is the place my people are desperate to get to. Do they think the streets are paved with Gold there, most don't, but they realize it's much better than the current condition they are in, I was referring to that.

do you think lemmy would be able to evade state censorship? If we wanted to that is. I really like those piratebay instances, trying to censor them is really difficult, even for the state (They can but it's difficult to censor each and everyone one of them)

It's the first one I found and many others were filled with germans and I said "Nein"

nice username. No, VLC unfortunately didn't work.

You might be right, I do understand your point. Healthy disagreement is not alive anymore. But I think having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don't believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems.

love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.

Hehe... good one. I understand that. But don't you think it would be a better place of some people from the right joined in here

with due respect to everything you said I don't think this is a major success, even "our own" people (GNU Linux and FOSS enthusiasts) are in a greater number in Reddit. I think Open-source projects like Lemmy lack the aggressiveness required to make it big.
