It's going to become a tech channel in a year reporting on opensource news. Hopefully on peertube.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Hell yeah please consider covering all the different mobile operating systems.

Oh, wow. Guess it was a matter of time after he switched to Linux 😏

But I also still have much to learn before I can properly selfhost. For stuff I want anyone else to access, I've just put individual services on its own VPS... Probably a personal VPN, wireguard or tailscale is the choice if I want to think about selfhosting.

It’s always a bit funny to me when people make these videos on YouTube (since it’s owned by Google).

Degoogling in my book involves blocking all their domains and/or IP addresses at the network level rendering websites like YouTube inoperable.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

This is just silly. YouTube can become just another data source for the savy self-hoster. IPs intact and everything.

Didn't Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices

[-] [email protected] 13 points 17 hours ago

Yes, as the pixel hardware is ironically secure.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago

Yeah don't get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they're trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

I mean, for most people I'd wager that "degoogling" is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that's probably an okay tradeoff to make for many

[-] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

Makes sense to me, especially since I'm in the same boat. I'm looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on

[-] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I'm thinking of a PinephonePro. It's not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.

Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Damn. I remember looking at the Jolla once and forgot about it. Hardware seems good but I do see reports of issues with the local providers (Canada) and unfortunately it doesn't look like they ship here either. Too bad as a Euro designed+built phone sounds great.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

He made a video. About de-Googling. On Google's video platform.

Irony is dead.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 hours ago

Literally 20 seconds into the video he addresses it. 20 seconds.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 13 hours ago

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

[-] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

I wonder if he was thinking about Peertube in that moment.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

He can’t monetise on PeerTube. He will be able to get sponsors, but YouTube revenue will dry up.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

He can’t monetise on PeerTube.

Also, (like it or not), at the moment peertube has an insignifigantly tiny audience compared to youtube.

If you're trying to reach people, you go where the people are.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Of course he can, he can have a link to patreon for donations or even employ somebody to add a donation feature to his peertube instance. Monetisation =/= ads.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

I wish irony was lethal.

[-] [email protected] -5 points 8 hours ago

I only know two things about this clown: he's an "influencer," and, more importantly, a racist. Good job spreading his reach.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 7 hours ago

This is his redemption arc, spreading the word about Linux and FOSS

[-] [email protected] -3 points 7 hours ago

Those two things aren't even related. He never took account for his behavior and now his fan base of rabid racist children are now racists adults.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago

Yeah it definitely has nothing to do with the people who raised those kids. Fuck that pewdiepie guy

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
