But Signal is hosted in the US and a US company. And it is probably still tied to the CIA after its initial funding by Radio Free Asia (through its subsidiary Open Technology Fund)

This is an interesting read about this issue by Dessalines (creator of Lemmy): https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/why_not_signal.md

I think that’s what things iDeal and Bancontact are for (respectively Netherlands and Belgium). This is a country wide payment system that is available in remotely every store/service, and sometimes the only accepted one

Edit: it seems iDeal can sometimes be used outside of the Netherlands. Btw both systems are still controlled by banks

Looking for ethical / open-source / decentralized products and services is infinitely better than just “buy European”

Edit: but also, anything hosted on US servers is doomed to being partially terrible because of Cloud Act and such

I think you’re just confused about what “meming” means. It would mean create memes, not browse them

They were answering your question with a joke (noted by /j)

The “with AI” kinda breaks the charm unfortunately

Thank you for clarifying but I think you go over the main topic a bit quickly. What does it mean “because of the tankies”? Who are the tankies and what have they done that is to be avoided by going to another instance?

This piece of code used to be for Juan. Now Juan is gone

No, of course

Comment above is crazy but also, animals are not toys. It’s pretty crazy to want to own animals and make them live with you. Fortunately (idk) some animals co-evolved with us and became dependant of human farming/breeding/ownership

Well if you can stay pressed on the power button it should restart the device and it will be encrypted, with no biometric unlocking

Overwatch font?

Why would you be angry at that?

Or Grayjay then

Google does listen, what do you mean? They have a feature in form of their voice assistant to make sure it can

Isn’t it progressism?

But anyway liberalism is the ideology of capitalism. The artificial differences created between conservatives and progressists is just a smoke screen to create a false debate and prevent from challenging capitalism, switching the enemy from the rulling capitalist class to the person next door with different views

Queer people suggesting not to join instances fighting for their rights, with 0 given reason is kind of wild not gonna lie

Many of us here are queer as well and I don’t think I’ll ever understand right-wing LGBT

A small list of cool instances:

• lemmy.blahaj.zone : chill place and people, LGBT (and especially trans) friendly

• hexbear.net : very active and friendly instance that used to be separate from Lemmy. Most people are very various lefties

• lemmy.ml : generalist instance, moderated by the devs of Lemmy. It is not marketed as a left instance but some socialists join there because of the .ml (Marxism Leninism)

I’ve rarely seen people of the left on lemmy.world. Not never, just rarely

Not sure if you’re talking about vibes like US Democrats voters or something

But the illegitimate state of Isn’treal is an occupation state. There can’t be one without occupation of the Palestinian land. It’s a colony. If you wish the end of the colonisation, you want the dislocation of the state
