Well, cool, but you're a highschooler so you don't have much real world experience, though being a closeted queer as a highschooler is definitely a hellish and radicalizing experience, I've been there. Also, as a trans person thats been transitioned for a long time, you begin to realize the number of allies you have is very few and debate is very much a waste of time (fun for cis people, terrifying for trans people) and its far more important to build independence and resilience for the community and remove awful people from your life. Hexbear has mutual aid drives and housing support groups that have saved many trans people from homelessness and even their lives. Think: does SJW or lemmy.world do the same, or are they just all hot air and complain about 'tankies' in a vague way while doing nothing? Is it fine to be rude to people who think debating your existence and the existence of other marginalized people is good fun?
A place with a high amount of queer and trans socialists that all the cishets on the fediverse mald about. The instance is something like 66% queer / queer adjacent and 51% are trans / trans adjacent. Essentially, a lot of people are very aggro about the fact that they have carved a safe space out for themselves prior to lemmy becoming popular recently. Tldr:
Here's some of their demographic surveys.
Truly unhinged that they decided to come out on this. Fellas, you are fucking Swiss why throw yourself under the bus for the US election
Its honestly kinda weird, bazzite and nobara are fairly big. Must be a bug
Edit: Looks like flatpack usage prevents them from monitoring OS, a lot of fedora stuff uses the flatpack for steam. Flatpack users are 5.73% of all linux users, most are on steamos.
In my experience, Nobara requires way less fiddling and works out of the box. CachyOS was way more fiddly. I have newer hardware so things are a bit weird for me in general.
Do wish Nobara had more maintainers. Cachyos isn't a whole lot better in this regard either, if you wanted something for gaming that has a lot of maintainers you should probably go for Bazzite. Personally, I had issues with Bazzite as well, Nobara seems to play nicest with new hardware out of the box.
So many people seem to recommend this app, but its obviously not open source and requires an email to signup, which seems unnecessary. Are there any good open source alternatives that are a one-stop-shop of sorts rather than a bunch of mottled scripts?
https://redact.dev/
yeah you could. though i dont see any evidence that the large open source llm programs like jan.ai or ollama are doing anything wrong with their program or files. chucking it in a sandbox would solve the problem for good though
yeah good luck with enforcing that, weirdo
you can check the process to see if its communicating at all. none of the big ones do. its possible someone could be fucking with the file though, before the safetensors format this was a big issue, and still sort of is afterwards. only DL from reputable sources
why a fucking chatbot? translate a page better for me you fucking losers, all the translation options suck for privacy outside of specifically trained local AIs. this is the BEST use case for a small local LLM yet mozilla with all its brains and resources couldnt rub two neurons together for this.
or they could do character prediction on your typing to make typing faster. just some legit examples, why waste resources to build a chat ai into my browser when i can just open a website???
Requirements:
-
Must be trans
-
Must be a socialist
-
Must agree with the rules
-
Must agree that transmedicalism is bad
-
Must agree that chauvinism in all its forms is bad
the other decent options are matrix and simplex chat, and mayyyybe session. matrix seems to have the most users and kick to it right now. out of those options. but yeah youre not gonna get the average tech illiterate person to get on a more complicated alternative to discord, essentially
Only reason I'd recommend signal to anyone is that its one of the few encrypted apps that doesnt have awful onboarding. A boomer can figure it out.
the boob jiggle physics are genuinely ridiculous on this mod, i just watched the preview. gamers are brain broken
Fingers crossed that RFK will transmit a worm to him or something by giving him raw milk and he just sits tweeting for the next 4 years
Has he restated this recently? It seems the original comment was back in May, hopefully he just forgot.
Good point, I originally made this as an image because someone requested that. Here's the text
Important Online Safety PSA for American transgender people following the US election.
Stop using insecure methods of communication.
Stop using media without a discrete privacy policy.
Stop posting identifying information about yourself.
As we enter into a new government with a hypothetical Republican trifecta, we will likely see the trans community attacked by the state, and sites and services such as Reddit, Facebook, Discord, and TikTok are known to have a great deal of unencrypted information about their users, and have been known to cooperate with law enforcement.
Instead of Discord, try Matrix. Here is a large trans chat on Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/#tracha:chapo.chat
Instead of Reddit, try Lemmy. Here are some transgender groups on Lemmy:
hexbear.net/c/traa (shortlink, redirect link on page)
lemmy.ml/c/transgender
lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/transgender
Instead of Facebook or Instagram, try Pixelfed:
pixelfed.org
Instead of Twitter, try Mastodon. Here are some trans positive places on Mastodon:
lgbtqia.space
toots.matapocos.dog
Many resources for more secure alternative apps can be found on privacyguides.org
We can continue this conversation in DMs if you wish but your 'concerns' are not welcome here and contribute to an atmosphere of hostility towards trans communities on the fediverse.
Are you cis? And yes, they are safe and have done more things for trans people than you will ever do, and this concern trolling is ridiculous.
Are you yet another cis person coming into trans spaces to fearmonger about other trans spaces and why certain trans people are 'the good ones'? Just wondering, because that would definitely be transphobia.
Rich of you fuckers to talk about brigading when you're deliberately sending other admins into this thread, likely from an admin chat. You don't even have pronouns displayed anywhere, which is the bare minimum for supporting trans people online and normalizing showing pronouns.
Lately I've been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I've tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don't know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.

Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I'm wondering about how efficient it is
I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.
@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks
edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here
edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong
edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.
If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something
This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.
Hello, if you are transgender and socialist, please make an application below. We have lax requirements, I'm basically hoping to copy the success of Hexbear's trans community. Basic ideas of modding this space:
-
Rule with an iron fist. This is meant to be a safe place for transgender people. If someone is making that not happen / is fucking the vibes, they should be gone.
-
Purge transphobes on sight
-
No leftist infighting. Anarchists and communists can be friends
-
Suggest to cis and trans people that they change their username to include pronouns so no one misgenders them

i know people here have a sour taste over hexbear but im so happy to see trans spaces on the fediverse popping off, im so done with corporate social media and its great to see.
love seeing hundreds of trans people vibing
I'm looking for ones that ideally don't log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise?
I'm most interested in Invidious.
https://hexbear.net/post/2687582
I thought this poll and their previous trans poll were interesting. Blahaj also had a poll with about 40 responders.

I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information.
Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?
