PeerTube. It’s a video sharing platform with ActivityPub federation and with peer to peer video sharing like a torrent (it is one I think) which lightens the load on instances. An alternative to YouTube is NEEDED right now. A good way to make it grow is to simply start a channel and post videos. It’s currently very underpopulated. Some YouTube channels such as The Linux Experiment mirror their channels to PeerTube, so if you have a YT channel, mirror it to PeerTube.

Also to me it seems like Matrix could be the messenger of the future, replacing WhatsApp, SMS/calls, and social media DMs.

The general mobile Linux space is also interesting right now. Year of the Linux phone when? It’s not currently fully ready but it’s advancing. Also the FSF announced the LibrePhone initiative so there’ll probably be more advancement.

My M2 MBP is basically a desktop workstation, so Asahi not supporting DisplayPort over USB-C means that I won’t be able to connect a monitor, which I do 98% of the time. I’m switching when the driver releases.

Thoughts on GNU TALER??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, social democrats, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][4]

How is censorship a popular opinion on lemmy?? What does lemmy censor??

Other two i agree with.

equating skin colour with culture

Not equating. They said that people of an ethnicity are often also of a culture common among those of that ethnicity.

I’m in Costa Rica, and people are likely to (correctly) assume that I’m a foreigner here because I’m white.

It’s not equating. It is, however, a way to tell what is likely.
