Also, dick measuring.

Love that featured image 😆 Perfect metaphor for latter day Twitter!

Sorry, I thought you might want the scenic route to Github 🙂

Give it three days, it’ll rise again.

Cool, and she updates her github repos now and then. Good to know.

Looks like this might be the one, and it supports @[email protected]’s info that she’s behind the Nukit twitter account (and online shop).

So apparently the state “only” cracked down on her previous online presence such as Youtube, and probably put her and her partner under increased surveillance/control?

No, I’m talking about people seeing past f—ng fandom to the reality that others they meet online, or whose content they consume, may live under less free circumstances than themselves.

She was outed by Vice, which seems to have been met with apathy by the online community, and it looks like the authorities cracked down on her as a consequence. The insistence of some commenters to see this through a “fan” or “taste” lens is pretty blinkered.

Person. We’re talking about a person in a precarious situation who was basically doxxed by Vice, and more or less shrugged off by the general online public.

It’s not like you deciding you’re not into vaporwave anymore.

That’s a chilling read. Wu was only ever on the periphery of my attention — some tech advice here, the odd flash of TMI there — so I thought nothing of it when she fell off the radar.

Realising that she had gotten so relatively big, despite her circumstances, that government agencies were only waiting for fickle Western users like myself showing signs of indifference, before doing …whatever they’ve done to her… serves as a constant reminder that not everone online is here on an equal footing with, say, the average North American or European.

I’d love if some of the terminally online keyboard warriors (that didn’t rally to support her last year) might at least do an investigation into her current situation.

Edited for clarity.

Yeah, Newpipe is pretty great. It’s also a Peertube/Bandcamp/SoundCloud client 🙂

Ugh, let’s never mention simplemobiletools or Zipo again.

That’s the one. Thanks!

Youtube — try Newpipe for background playback. There is a version with Sponsorblock, I believe

Gallery — I use the Fossify one. You’ll find a lot of other FOSS utility alternatives searching for Fossify.

Media players — I waffle between different ones, but I always have VLC installed as a fallback. It feels clunky on Android, but it will play almost anything.

Yes, but most of all it’s

just a Lemmy client

I saw, good on them! Until then, what is it…?

Fedi client

(Only connects to Lemmy)

Say it with me, “I’ve made a Lemmy client”.

Sounds pretty cool! Obviously, as a Linux user I’m not satisfied until I figure out how to make my own with Rofi, but kudos for the idea!

Technically, no. I might argue that the vast majority of computers made in the last 30 years come equipped with network capabilities and are, in fact, connected to the internet.

Generally, if you’re using a well-known, commercial operating system, your computer will “need” to connect to the internet so transmit your delicious personal and usage data to the OS’ home servers for definitely not invasive purposes.

The list above, however, is not of general or technical usage, but of my own pet peeves. Also, it’s half joking 😉

…to “now it’s just a background process running on your phone”.

…yes? Anything worth my time there? Highlights?

That was answered elsewhere in the comments
