I promise I’ll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇

Surprised it took this long for someone to say something 😅

Thank you, I completely missed that.

A lot of relevant discussion in this thread: PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

Personally, cross-posting and feeds in browser without any apps is a big plus.

I wish the article went a bit on her background.

“Nekima Valdez Levy Armstrong (née Levy-Pounds, born June 27, 1976) is an American lawyer and social justice activist. She was president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP from 2015 to 2016. She has led a variety of organizations that focus on issues of racial equality and disparity in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area.”

They truly don’t like it that people are making moves instead of rolling over getting devoured.

Also another of three arrested protesters has a fundraiser, which apparently resurfaced after their arrests:

Now, an old fundraiser by Kelly has surfaced. It is titled: ‘Help me practice my 1st ammendment rights!!!’

The enshittification is also real when searching her name on duckduckgo. Lots of weird news sides trying to smear her with information pulled from Fox News.

So triggering just thinking about German leftist communities and papers over these years. I sure hope they can wake from their slumber and show some commitment.

People ‘own’ countries, not governments, Donny.

Contempt of congress (by missing the deadline, and then not even releasing 1% of the files) is just another wee federal crime. Truly puzzling, with only 1% implicating so many things already and creatures in power & wealth, why they would fight so hard to keep it away from the light.

Thank you. Though cinnamon is a lot heavier than xfce oob.

Thanks, useful info!

Looks cool. But it also doesn’t look like it’s very low on resource usage, compared to xfce. Efficient maybe for what it does, but if I think of putting this on a 15-year old low-quality office laptop, I have doubts.

Thank you. Will try :)

Thanks for sharing! However:

It is not clear yet which Xfce release will target a complete Xfce Wayland transition (or if such a transition will happen at all).

Thanks! I don’t remember why I ditched LXQT some years ago, but as an xfce user, I quite liked it generally. Will try again!

Explains the issue of google locking out non-playstore apps, etc. and also explains these links. That’s pretty much it.

Some more information:

I looked at four different Samsung phones today (physically in the region). 2x phones bought in Europe. 2x phones bought in the region.

All non-rooted, stock android.

None of the phones had Aura installed. Two of them had AppCloud installed (one EU phone, one phone from the region) and it couldn’t be disabled as easily as the other phone. (I haven’t tried ADB, etc. yet, just the standard uninstallation procedure).

I don’t think domination is actually intelligent or smart.

The app’s privacy settings claim that users can disable this data collection by turning off “AppCloud” in the app list. But, according to SMEX, deletion requires the user to submit a form that does not exist, making it impossible to fully remove, at least without advanced technical expertise.

Hm, I just uninstall AppCloud no problem in a non-rooted, stock android in and from the region.
It also showed the URI or whatever of com.something.aura.

However, can’t find any Aura app.

Looks like Aura app gets installed by AppCloud. I’m a bit frustrated I can’t find a list of apps known to be installed by AppCloud, or that include this *.aura.* URI. I mean this should be relevant for a shit ton of people and could be easily crowdsourced.

I’m not arguing against that, just drawing attention to what kind of ‘light’ they are given. It’s not like there are only two perspectives.

Note to others. The quality of the links isn’t great. And there seems to be an authoritarian communist et al. bias. Cross-reference stuff, and consider biases.

This is as meaningless as gently blowing smoke away with your mouth when your house is on fire.

Where are the sanctions? Where is the dispelling of diplomats? Where is the ending of Trade and military support? Where is the independent verification of genocidal Israeli narratives?
