Marmite. I enjoy it on toast, but I use it more often as a vegan beef bullion replacement and umami booster, of which I think it’s unparalleled.

Means and Ends: The Revolutionary Practice of Anarchism in Europe and the United States by Zoe Baker is a great one.

Heyo, just wanted to clarify your post is absolutely appropriate for this community, as despite the name, it is not exclusive to only things that literally last forever, we also welcome things that just last longer than average :)

Also @hitmyspot@lemmy.world and @solrize@lemmy.world

Their first laptop was very niche, as it was quite expensive while also being quite slow and a little clunky, so news of it mostly just circulated around open-source and hacker/maker type communities. This new one looks to be much more slick in comparison.

MNT has been around for while, their first laptop came out in 2019.

I suspect due to them being easier to handle and easy to plugs into laptops that still have an SD card reader. Since most Micro SD cards come with a full size adapter anyway, it doesn’t really seem to have any downside to go with fullsize.

AFAIK, GrapheneOS supports the Pixel Tablet, which is probably the only truly secure android tablet on the market.

If you’re willing to sacrifice some UX, there are some Linux tablets. A cheaper option could be a 2-in-1 chromebook that allows installing Linux.

Otherwise, you could try to degoogle your Samsung tablet by installing LineageOS on it, if it’s supported.

MIDI.

Before the 80’s, there was no standard interface to control electronic instruments, just a bunch of proprietary interfaces unique to each manufacterer. But in 1983, amazingly they actually standardized on MIDI, and it remains a useful standard to this day, with any new versions of MIDI being completely backwards compatible, so your Yamaha DX7 from the 80’s is still just as viable to use today as the day it was new!

WOAH! that’s a fantastic version, like god damn that build up! Thanks for sharing it! ^^

I like to imagine everyone is a horndog except Mirror Riker, who suffers severe erectile disfunction.

I consider odysee to be a longer term pump’n’dump scam for the reasons outlined here:

Personally I wouldn’t place much trust in them.

I hope you’ll buck the trend, and show them it can be done :)

I’m actually going to suggest; Yes, possibly. But for a very specific reason.

While much of social media isn’t ultra necessary, federated social media could be quite essential to collectivising and resisting state and corporate manipulation and propaganda. All other forms of media and news are corporate or state controlled, and thus can construct and project false narritives that are beneficial to their aims, much to our collective detriment.

Social media has become the dominant way that many, possibly most people, see the news, discuss such news with eachother from people around the globe, and build a picture of what’s going on outside of their isolated part of the world. I think Noam Chomsky in Manufacturing Consent gives a pretty fantastic argument on the importance of citizen controlled media, and federated social media is about as citizen controlled as it can possibly get. It’s non-corporate self-hosted open source software as far as the eye can see! It’s not perfect, but holy shit this is as powerful as a tool to diseminate ideas and information on a grassroots level that we’ve ever had, and we should not underestimate its usefulness in the coming decade.

Yarr! 😉

From what I’ve gathered recently, the Mullvad browser left unmodified and combined with a VPN is one of the most private browsers you can use, short of using Tor.

It’s also possible to build a very effective and safe alcohol space heater with about $7 of parts, which can be kept on-hand in case of emergency.

Ribbit :)

I’m coming around to this conclusion, and updated the post to reflect that. For something as important as a browser, it’s a little concerning the Librewolf dev team is so short staffed, but they do seem to be holding their own. I hope they’re able to stick around long term.

That’s a well reasoned take, honestly.

As I investigate other options to LW, all of which also require a certain level of trust and/or diligence, ultimately I’m finding LW seems difficult to replace, as it does walk that line between ‘good enough’ security/privacy and convenience. The Phoenix project seems promising, but so far is only convenient on a few distros, leaving Windows users with LW, or perhaps Zen.
