A good way to check out mobile Linux is through postmarketOS. They have a list of older android phones that the OS can be flashed on to and have a near mainline Linux kernel. I would just give the caveat that since it does not run android then you cannot use android apps unless you use something like Waydroid to emulate.

Owning the means of production can also be seen as owning the business collectively. So in a service model business, like say a restaurant, instead of the owner taking in profits and paying the workers less money, all the workers split those profits evenly.

I paid the $200 monthly subscription at lemmyplus(dot)com. When will I be able to see the HD image?

In all seriousness, are straws even recyclable (in USA)? I thought it fell under “wish-cycling” where people put it in the recycling bin but it is not the type of plastic that can be recycled.

I have bad handwriting and my friend misread something I wrote and I just added some numbers to it

It’s not “I’m so hungry I can eat a small child.”

Its "I’m only hungry enough to eat a small child.

According to the scale on the tool, anyways.

Rather than comment on each individual response I figure comment on my own.

I agree with all the points made here.

When they couldn’t get Capone for the murders and rackateering they got him for tax evasion because he deserved it. Trump absolutely deserves all these charges and should go to prison.

I do not believe Trump should get a free pass for his crimes. No one should. I was only suggesting that his crimes may have been ignored until there was a political motivation to look. It shouldn’t have to be that way, but that may have played a role on why they are just now investigating. If they had looked into it earlier it may have disqualified him from running in the first place; which to be clear, is a good thing.

Notice how I didn’t say the Georgia elections case was unfair. He was recorded trying to commit voter fraud and should be charged. There’s plenty in Jan 6th commission report to charge too and I am frustrated that hasn’t happened either.

I definitely do not like Trump, and this comment is by no means me defending him. He has committed crimes and should be prosecuted. However, certain actions by Dems does suggest he was targeted.

One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.

I also think that prosecutors in New York would have ignored his fraudulent business practices, which they likely ignored for several years prior, if he hadn’t become president and was seeking re-election.

Again, I am not defending him. Lock him up for his crimes. But I also don’t think the democrats motivation is solely coming from the idea of “justice for all.”

So in Lemmy and other fediverse services, liberals are typically defined as “left of center.” That’s because a significant portion of fediverse users are progressives (socialists, advocates for social justice within government) to leftists (anarchists, who believe the government shouldn’t exist in the first place, and communists where money shouldn’t exist in the first place).

I’m not a programmer either, but I am a Linux and open source user so I can at least wade through the waters, lol

Its cool to see people thinking about how to donate when they can. I think about it as well, and when I have donated I think most if not all fall into your list.

I know Brotherhood tells a better overall story as it aligns more closely with the manga. BUT, the music and pacing of that scene in the original anime production of FMA hits a little harder, in my opinion.

I friend of mine is moving from New Mexico to Chicago, so it checks out.

I used to use nitter to view stuff people sent from twitter. Now I guess I won’t ever look at twitter ever again.

We all area ready. Lemmy is a minefield for that.

I guess the air is a mixed salad of gas molecules…

Some instructions I’ve read for dual booting recommend installing Linux first, removing the SSD wit Linux on it from the computer, and then install Windows to prevent that from happening.

It’s really shitty that users have to go through all that trouble, though.

The browser in my computer at work doesn’t have an ad blocker. I haven’t installed one because I most of the time I’m using it to access our intranet. But when I do happen to use the internet, damn are there so many ads! They literally block the content I’m trying to read, and come back even when I try to close it.

All that to say, due to enshittification I will forever keep my ad blocker on my personal computer.

but at the expense of American taxpayers rather than Iraqis

Maybe monetarily. When it came to lives lost, Iraqis paid the higher cost.

“What could Bernie be doing differently, that would actually be effective?”

Unfortunately it’s not about Bernie doing something differently. The incremental changes cannot only be made at the ballot box or with candidates. It has to be made within the population at large.

Social movements through collective organizing can bring change. Unfortunately the capitalist state knows this as well and that’s why any attempts to organize are stamped out quickly through violence, media campaigns to discredit, or various other means.
