I want to watch fights for the throne of reddit-like sites between RAMBLE and lemmy, just for my fun! RAMBLE to be available for good people more and more.

Btw, did Raddle fight lemmy for their anarchism, communism or something? :D

Galaxy S10. Pretty standard. I replace my phone maybe once every 5 or 6 years, when using it becomes cumbersome. To put it in perspective, my first smart phone was a S3 which I got as a work phone, then I replaced it with a Huawei something or another (yeah yeah, China bad. I got it. ) and then this S10.

When it comes time to replace it it'll probably be with something I can harden a bit more. I don't use much of the 'smart' features of the phone anyhow, outside of browsing the web, Signal or the camera which I still think is fantastic for a phone.

Though I do sort of miss the simplicity of my old Nokia brick and Cingular (remember them, anyone?) flip phone. I've had a few random dumb pre-paid phones years ago too since I was always too poor to afford a proper phone on a plan. I know that they still make and produce flip phones too, my old job had shared flip-phones for the shift supervisors to carry around and used in some other cases for like emergency or if the phone system went out. I remember when the old ones with the broken buttons, cracked bodies and fucked up screens got replaced with brand new Verizon flip phones. I felt like was a teenager again.

Yes I agree and I've seen pretty bad stuff on other networks

They're not horrible for short term use, which I think is where they likely shine the most. A quick run or workout at the gym? Sure. A companion to a multi-day backpacking trip? Trail running? Or even just listening to music for 8 hours for a normal work shift? Not so much.

There is definitely a market for them. I see them all the time. People seem to like them, or at least want to be seen with them in. Personal andecote for sure, but I don't recall going to the store or just taking a walk down the street and seeing this many people with wired earbuds just five years ago. I think it has to partially due to marketing and people's desire to be seen with new stuff from the brands they're loyal to. Galaxy Buds and Apple's Airpods are pretty recognizable. Seems almost just as much of a fashion accessory nowadays similar to how Beats headphones were previously.

Fair point. This could be truly free reign but then this site would just be flooded with cp and honeypots. Rambler will do what he has to do to not get in legal trouble. I think the level of freedom we have on this site surpasses a lot of other sites while still maintaining quality.

Interesting... I don't think "are stupid" is a good reason but the other reasons are pretty sound, and you could add they are unhealthy to wear for very long periods of time. On headphone side they are very bulky (not compact).

Must say I do like wireless earbuds though and have not had any of the problems apart from the exorbitant cost based on what you get vs its useful lifetime, and yes some have very short battery time (I've always only chosen 6 - 8 hour models for that reason).

I suppose the look/feel though does come down to personal preference. Wireless earbuds though, do have a lot of room for improvement still.

To be fair, Ramble also has some limitations, so neither platform has "anything goes"?

From Ramble's rules: "some things are just plain illegal and the owners of this community do not wish to be held legally liable to those who misinterpret this website's accessibility via 'the dark net' meaning that it's some sort of unmoderated free-for-all".

Legality differs from country to country and in my country we have very strict laws for example against any form of discrimination, incitements to violence or crime, selling stolen goods, etc. So this does restrict many then fully participating on a "free for all platform". So every user does need to make a judgement call based on their own values and what their country's Constitution or laws state.

"Any form of censorship" in my view then includes the removal of such attempts to sell illegal goods, to someone discriminating against another based on age, gender, sexual preference, religion, political beliefs, etc. Censorship is just a loaded term for moderation. They are exactly the same thing based on rules that exist on a site or within a country.

That's really useful to know, and wish Samsung promoted that more. That's certainly something I'd consider buying then.

That's actually a good idea, thanks!

Your children are property of Communism-19.

tuck the wire through your shirt

if it has any type of censorship it sucks. from what i understand lemmy does. so it sucks.

Lemmy censors words and instances, it's a literal shithole.

Can you please post a link to your rant. Thanks.

At the time of making this comment, Samsung's Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds+ are the most repairable true wireless earbuds I've seen. Their batteries do not require any soldering to replace.

iFixit has made a good guide on how to do this. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Buds+Battery+Replacement/127556

Props to Samsung for their repair-friendly design.

what distinguishes ramble.pw from others is it’s run and operated by fascist sympathizers on principles of so-called “free speech”.

Based.

The article leaves the question of "who" open, but the latest gist comment puts it in perspective (emphasis mine):

In all cases, we can see the headers set-cookie, server, cf-ray and expect-ct with values set by Cloudflare, which would not be possible if TLS termination was done directly on matrix.org/vector.im servers.

Unfortunately the "Grid" project which claims to want to resolve the privacy issues in defaults and docs seems to want to re-architect the protocol, instead. From a year-old question on the project's status (emphasis mine):

Grid is definitely not stalled, but all the work is currently happening between people who are exchanging and trying new things on a test network. Once we have conclusive data and an API we are happy with, we will update this repository. It will happen at some point this year. It is simply not the only project we are working on, so it all looks slow/stalled from the outside, but it is actually not. At some point there will be an update. But the network and the protocol is in use at the moment, if that can reassure you.

BTW, that gist the article links to is apparently an old version, and the new ones are at https://gitlab.com/libremonde-org/papers/research/privacy-matrix.org/-/tree/master/. And that's a year old. Even chasing down updated docs from these people is tedious. No wonder their code is absent.

All I want is a doc that details how it is and isn't possible to secure a server and client, what you configure and what you patch. Give that a name to fork it, sure. Instead, these are just treatises and blog posts. Many such cases.

Interesting for us end users of course to know which is what etc, and to know Ramble is based on Postmill, with what looks like additional network protocol options as well as a transparent mod log.

Yes I see the older post dealt with free speech and censorship, but that is also relative to different countries. Many countries do have limitation on both physical and verbal acts in public, and whilst some don't want that, others actually do want that. So I suppose options are always a good thing to have. This is not the Facebook world where users only have one network to choose from. Both networks (and others) end up all flourishing.

Meh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://images2.imgbox.com/34/4a/MYcBuAO4_o.jpeg

They can have their site, we can have ours. Not sure why it warrants discussion. The only thing noteworthy enough in their discussion that I want to touch base on is the mention of Postmill. Yes, we're using Postmill to power this site. It's open source. The creator and community behind Postmill are not happy that this site uses their software so it seemed sort of respectful to not advertise directly that this site is powered by it, even though that information can easily be found elsewhere on this site. If emma wants me broadcast proudly that this site is powered by her software, I'll be happy to oblige.

This site is available for people on the far right to use. It's available for people on the far left to use. It's available for people in the middle to use. People can use it or not use it, that's freedom of choice. It's not like there aren't a ton of reddit-like sites in existence to choose from already. This site is just yet another option.

EDIT: Phrasing

Hello, Thanks for providing those forums. I may help a bit with the moderation of some forums, but I'm exclusively using the torbrowser, and I don't know if this is technically feasible (because of js etc). My interests are with cryptocurrency (mainly Monero), privacy, Tor, onions, etc.

They certainly have a place... I used to often have my wired one's snag on door handles in the house and that was plain irritating to me as I walk quite fast. That said, with wired you never have to worry about battery time or batteries that die after 2 years ;-)

Sadly, I'm not surprised Wikipedia is doing this. There are many malicious users who use VPNs, Tor, and other anonymity tools to put false information on their platform. By preventing editing of content by people who use these tools, platforms like Wikipedia is able to maintain their credibility.

Here's a link to an archive of eepsites that I stumbled upon. However, it does not sort them by category.
