If they lock bootloaders, whats the best way to force it work even the vendors don’t want it to?

fuck google!

Who can I donate to that is working on making alternative OS accessible on android or iphones?

I know there are alternative OS already out there but they aren’t as universally accessible compared to how Linux can run on any PC.

As a non technical person, I think any tool that would make local hosting easier for laypeople like myself is great! I hope everything works out for you and localhostinger becomes a thing. I particularly like the “The app store idea” version a lot!

If I can share a few books I’ve really enjoyed:

So Long a Letter (1979) - Mariama Ba

The Old Drift (2019) - Namwali Serpell

Tekusat (ትኩሳት) (1997) - Sebhat Gebre-Egzhiaber

Things Fall Apart (1958) - Chinua Achebe

Patchwork (2011) - Ellen Banda-Aaku

The Wedding of Zein (1966) - Tayeb Salih

I’m surprised that its only 30 microns. The current govt seemed very adamant about removing plastic shopping bags waste. Although in my experience the most common shopping bags in the Ethiopia are much thinner than other countries (I would guess that they are probably only 30 microns) it would just mean the plastic producers would just shift to creating thicker bags

This sucks but I think this will lead to a Youtube exodus and other platforms like Peertube will creator and user base will grow

I thought this was a fake song they made up for the movie for years before I heard the song playing in real life.

I remember watching the movie for the first time and thinking, “No, this song is way over the top and too much of a satire”. Man, was I wrong!

From the article:

“Today’s court’s decision shows that the consent system used by Google, Amazon, X, Microsoft, deceives hundreds of millions of Europeans. The tech industry has sought to hide its vast data breach behind sham consent popups. Tech companies turned the GDPR into a daily nuisance rather than a shield for people.” [Dr Johnny Ryan, Director of Enforce at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties]

Today’s judgement confirms the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s 2022 decision. It applies immediately across Europe.

Thank you

What the alternative to marketplace? I don’t recognize that logo

This article says that both Ethiopia and Yemen claim to have discovered coffee. The Ethiopian claim is that it was discovered and brewed in Ethiopia and the Yemeni claim is that Ethiopians discovered but Yemenis brewed it. I like the Ethiopian story better but it either have no conclusive evidence

What’s your source. Ethiopians will tell you up and down that they discovered and brewed coffee first

I just tried Newpipe to double check, it works fine for me

Just subscribed

I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces

Thanks! I had previously downloaded it from the play store and had no idea that’s why the search sucked. Uninstalled and re-downloaded from F-droid, works great now!

Large cuts are happening in all country offices of IOM.

Alot of people are really helpful for any questions you might ask, as long as you are respectful

Thanks for the answer. I suppose getaround is like uber in that the organization doesn’t own the cars. That’s an interesting model to have a lot of cars quickly.

This was a very disturbing read. I’m glad some of the survivors found each and other and are coming out with story, and I hope wierdo gets prison time so he won’t be able to do this to anyone else
