But they are useful and completely valid ways of dealing with the problem.
It is not the end of the world if I have to click am extra once or twice to change the language. Hell most websites have much harder processes just to reject cookies.
Personally I would rather err on the side of slightly extra work the odd time I’m not on a website not in my native language than have an extra bit of information that can be used to track me.
Again take a look at the Gemini protocol, its a perfectly fine browsing experience without all the cruft.
I just used it as an example since it’s pretty much the lingua franca of the internet and it’s what we are currently using. The same argument applies to any other language.
My main point with that bit was that a lot of content exists on the internet without any translated versions and the world hasn’t ended because of this, look at non English Lemmy instances.
Some widely spoken language I imagine, Chinese, Spanish, English I don’t care. Since .com is intended for commercial use, the language of the companies biggest market makes sense here as well.
You’re also forgetting that the likes of google.ru, google.nl and google.every_other_country_code exist.
Also there are plently of websites the have language selection in the site that overrides that header, look at Wikipedia.
There are plently of sites in non english languages that cater to non English speakers only, not every site has or needs 10 different translations.
At this point we also have translation engines in the browser so for pages in languages you don’t know, that you absolutely need to access, you can use it to understand the page to a decent level and/or be able to navigate to a version in your language if available.
Fuck that shit.
Check out the Gemini protocol if you want to see that a lot of HTTP spec stuff is completely unnecessary
I’m not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.
Let’s not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.
Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you’re mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?
On what?
There is nothing on there that you couldn’t find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.
I’ve got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.
Signal is what I’m trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷
Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don’t think anyone I know uses.
Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I’d get from moving to an app.
Again back to minimalism I’d rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.
Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.
Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.
xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.
discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.
YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.
Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)
Sadly not haven’t had a tablet for like 8 years
Check out XDA forums or if you want an easier time, check out the lineage OS devices page. If its on the lineage site there’s a good chance other OS’s are available as well.
Not as bad as you’d think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn’t hard on their devices.
If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don’t like not having google (the ones I use don’t have this issue YMMV)
I’d also recommend simplifying how you use you’re device. Ie, don’t have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.
Don’t stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It’s designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.
You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.
The best device is the one you already have.
Gonna give you my honest two cents.
You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.
Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.
Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.
Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.
Do you mean the civilians at the festival that the IDF admitted to killing on the 6th?
Whatever you can get second hand
Peace is a white mans word.
Injustice will continue to happen under peace, just as it has on and off for 75 years in Palestine.
Liberation is the term used by black civil rights activists in America. Liberation is the tern used by indigenous rights groups the works over. Liberation is the term used by anti-colonial movements. Liberation was the term used by the resistance in ww2.
You trying to paint someone advocating for the oppressed as a Nazi is one of the laziest piece of shit moves when you don’t do the same for those perpetrating a genocide.
Hitler did not liberate Germany, you’re projecting your genocidal views on the rest of us.

an occasion when something or someone is released or made free:
The first fucking example:
the liberation of France from Nazi occupation
And you’re a bootlicking fool who’s argument doesn’t even hold true to what we’ve seen in Israel.
Even after what Israel and western media have made out to be the biggest horror of our time, Israelis are still risking police violence and imprisonment to protest the injustice of Israels actions.
I’d rather preserve my rights because if I lose my rights, I can do jack shit for anyone else.
You might as well have lost them for as much good as you are doing for anyone else.
I support liberation you just support peace so you can sleep at night.
There can not be peace without liberation and violence is a tool to be used when every peaceful method has failed.
Violence got Irish Catholics self determination and equality in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Violence got the civil rights movement in America to where it is now.
Violence keeps neo-nazis underground in a lot of places.
Resistance to oppression is not an end, it’s not even a means to an end. It’s a right enshrined by international law.
Fracturing the space is way more destructive than whatever you mean by destructive moderating, since the moderating will only affect some communities and even within that, some users while defederating will split the user base.
