Mostly ignore it

Gotta gamble sometimes since the odds that there are truly milfs in the area is never 0.

OK I'll be serious for a second. The comment was ant-Marx. I think that the idea that capitalism would inevitably lead to a socialist revolution is not a real thing. I'm looking at all the capitalist western countries and see that there is no real need or even desire for people to overhaul the whole financial and governmental systems. Although socialists are becoming more prominent over the years especially on the internet, I believe that this is only relegated to the internet. The only thing close to socialism that we have is Bernie Sanders and he's not really a powerful politician so others would probably not emulate him in the future.

You can think that this is a cope or a soyjack-like post all you want, but at least I live in the real world where we're not waiting for a fantasy revolution that would make us work in socialist utopias where everyone is a farmer in a small garden or a hair stylist or whatever the fuck people thing it's gonna be like. I know the issues that would plague something like socialism or communism and know that capitalism solves all the problems there. Just look at the USSR in their last years and how much the US was outpacing them in terms of technology and production. The quality of life in capitalist countries was and still is leagues above any socialist or communist countries.

I can understand when people criticize the current system we have since it's 100% not perfect. But to just call for a socialist revolution instead of better methods of regulation and closing loops as we discover them is just stupid.

And lastly, the post is pretty stupid on another level since the "woes of capitalism" are there because of events that mess up global trade like the pandemic or the current Houthi attacks on the red sea, when you know for a fact that any country that's not extremely closed off and protectionist would be just as impacted.

We are truly on the cusp of socialist revolution just like Marx said. If we extrapolate the lemmygrad instance to the rest of the world, that means it's only a couple years max until we behead those pesky billionaires starting with wrren bffet. It's simple math if you read this philosophers textbook " Das Kapital."

He is 100℅ better at that job, but you're mistaken if you think that GN has nearly as much influence in those things as LTT. Not that I'm saying that GN is not good enough, but he doesn't fill the market that LTT does only GN's own very technical niche.

I was too retarded to realize this was a joke and was in the middle of replying seriously.

But yeah I just bought a one-way ticket to Athens.

How else would you convey that information?

They are not using money from revenue but are using investment money to do their work

They are a private company not held by the public

They have to turn a profit eventually

Growth phase and startup are redundant but they're true, they're a new company

Use lxc/lxd to get all of the performance benefits of docker and all the freedom of a vm

You can try sshDaemon on the tablet and Material Files for the phone. Although it's a bit technical to make it easier to connect. You're gonna have to make an RSA SSH key pair so you don't have to put in the password on material files every time. But you are gonna have to change the IP on it if you move around to new networks.

Yeah I think they saw a couple of examples Of stores taking out the self checkout lanes and ran with them. Although you could say the theft that the self checkout lanes allow is a recurring expense, but that's probably not nearly as much as the saving that the machines give.

I think it's Android itself. I can only do symlinks in the /data partition not /storage/emulated according to this. And I tried it and it seems to be true.

` ~ $ pwd

/data/data/com.termux/files/home

~ $ touch ok

~ $ ln ok ok.ok

ln: failed to create hard link 'ok.ok' => 'ok': Permission denied

~ $ ln ok -s ok.ok

~ $ ls

ok ok.ok

~ $ cd /storage/emulated/0

.../emulated/0 $ touch ok

.../emulated/0 $ ln ok -s ok.ok

ln: failed to create symbolic link 'ok.ok': Permission denied

`

I tried it on termux and it says "permission denied", and I have access to write on both folders on termux

 

Motivation

So this is probably a strange request but I really want to do this. For some reason, when I restored the WhatsApp chats most of the photos there got to the private directory where it doesn't show on my android gallery. I don't know what happened but there is no official solution to get the photos back. So I thought why not do it myself.

What I already did

I rooted m phone (temporarily) to get access to the msgstore.db file so that I can change the paths of the media. I can do that easily with a sqlite query.

What I couldn't do

When I try to modify the actual database, it says that I cannot do it since the file got corrupted. I think there might be a checksum or something somewhere but I can't seem to find any information about it. Does anyone know how I can do this without tripping the integrity checker?

 

I know that GrapheneOS has a lot of security features that make it basically impossible to compromise your phone. And that it has a lot of control over permissions and has some privacy features. But it also has a Google Services compatibility that would allow you to use Google services, which would allow Google to harvest a lot of data from you; much less data, but still some. Now OSes like CalyxOS or Lineage have microG which in addition to giving you the APIs, it uses less battery and has the ability to use Mozilla network location to stop google from getting that data. CalyxOS and Lineage don't have the crazy hardening modifications that GrapheneOS has, but Android is already crazy secure compared to something like Windows or Linux without a properly configured SELinux or AppArmor. Why have Graphene over Calyx?

 

I've rooted my device to get an acceptable blue light filter on my phone (1500K), I really don't like the idea of having to root just for that and play the cat and mouse game to hide the root. Any other way to do it? I've looked everywhere and nothing is close to what I want. The default night light in the settings barely goes below something like 2500K and the LiveDisplay feature in lineageOS and Calyx mess up the colors and there is a lot of blue that is not filtered at all. Anything you guys found?

 

Does anyone else feel as if it's over when it comes to really owning your own things?

As of now:

  • You don't have the option of having a phone with decent specs and replaceable parts
  • You have to have really good knowledge in tech to have private services that are on par with what the big companies offer
  • You have to put up with annoying compatibility issues if you install a custom ROM on your android phone
  • You cannot escape apps preventing you from using them if you root your device
  • Cars are becoming SaaS bullcrap
  • Everything is going for a subscription model in general

And now Google is attempting to implement DRM on websites. If that goes through, Firefox is going to be relegated to privacy conscious websites (there aren't many of those). At this point, why even bother? Why do I go to great lengths at protecting my privacy if it means that I can't use most services I want?

It sucks because the obvious solution is for people to move away from these bullshit companies and show that they actually care about their privacy. Even more important is to actually PAY for services they like instead of relying on free stuff. I'm not optimistic not just because the non privacy conscious side is lazy, but because my side is greedy. I mean one of the most popular communities on lemmy is "piracy" which makes it all the more reasonable for companies not to listen to privacy conscious people.

I wouldn't say that this is the endgame but in this trajectory, privacy is gone before 2030.
