And that’s precisely why OP is asking for frontends. So they can view the posts. They aren’t looking to make posts.
Use a VPN and a good ad/tracking blocker
Have you tried going to Instagram with a VPN on? You can’t see shit unless you log in, and I don’t want to make an account.
No, I don’t see the irony, and I didn’t take it as a dig either. I just don’t see the two being contrary to each other. “I don’t think political discussion on social media is particularly fruitful” doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend I’m not a communist or not mention it at all online.
? What irony? I don’t think the username of communism implies you’re… organising on Lemmy lol
I guess my experience with open social media is that there are far too many radlibs who insert themselves into communist discussion spaces. On platforms like Twitter the effect is less bad as you can select who to follow and your followers will select themselves too. But the maximum extent of discussing organising strategies etc I do with online people I don’t organise with, is discussing things with a private Matrix group of some online friends who all have solid politics and are good organisers in their local scene (we mostly live in different countries). I think a lemmy community around organising would probably attract a lot of low-quality discussion, based on what I’ve seen of organising talk on public social media.
And I just don’t see the necessity of going beyond your orgs to discuss strategy. People do write articles about strategy you can share and discuss with your org, but we’ve never discussed social media posts about strategy. You can discuss union strategy with your union; unions should provide organising training to its members. Unless unions are practically nonexistent where you are and you’re starting from scratch, but at least here you can join the union for your trade and you’ll be trained on how to organise by union organisers. For non-union orgs, if it’s self-sufficient and large enough you can get plenty of fruitful discussion among your comrades, and it will be tailored to your specific context and organisation. I don’t even know what country you live in; how am I supposed to give you the most effective advice as an internet stranger?
Why would you go to Lemmy for that? I’m politically active in several local organisations and if I have anything to discuss about that I discuss it with them, not with random people on social media. This is just not the platform for that.
Notesnook at the moment. Excited that they’re started supporting self-hosting. It seems immature but working well for people. I’ll get round to hosting my own sync server when I have the time and maybe once self-hosting is more mature.
That kind of data access is generally included under security not privacy (which is more about telemetry), but obviously with a state threat model privacy and security can become blurred, and that kind of data access is of concern if you are at risk of having devices seized by the state.
That would be a security issue, not a privacy issue. Maybe that was what RelativeArea0 meant but if so I think that confused people because “privacy” implies somehow corpos/the state is spying on you through Lineage
foreign bad actors
None that would “break me” if I didn’t have them, but I spend the vast majority of my free time on my computer (by choice, I have friends and outside activities I can go to if I want), and whenever I’ve had to be away from it that’s always been the toughest part.
It’s still prohibitively expensive to buy AC units in the first place though. Vast majority of homes do not have AC pre-installed.
Doesn’t impact me so fine with it.
You haven’t mentioned if there are any ethical concerns with this new meat; e.g. environmental cost of the production process, what kind of human labour is required to create it, who is providing that labour and under what conditions are they working.
Provided I had no ethical concerns with it, sure, but a lot of modern innovations tend to have these issues and I assume lab-grown meat would have these issues too.
Edit: Also, I’m opposed to animal captivity, so if there’s an ongoing need to collect samples from captive livestock then no, I wouldn’t. If it’s a “collect it once then it keeps reproducing from the lab samples forever” type of thing then sure.
But if everything is reset every day, you still have the same stock of food available every day, and it never depletes (beyond the depletion that happens in 1 day, but that gets reset quickly). And any money made from selling food is also not kept. I can’t imagine food sellers would be bothered to try enforce their prices when profits etc don’t matter. Maybe food just becomes free. If we’re optimistic, people might prioritise getting food to people who are already starving, since the people who are well-fed won’t be too bothered by going a day without food.
