No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.

I cycle, so I’m definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.
1·3 years agoGet a Pinephone, or a Fairphone with Ubuntu. More privacy and more features than dumb phones.
6·3 years agoWell, maybe you are:
- Planning a surprise party
- Leaving a job
- Trying to escape an abusive relationship
- Famous
- Writing a detective novel
- A writer without a publisher
- Searching about an embarrassing medical condition
- Having a crush in someone
- In the closet
- A teenager with controlling parents
- Having a hobby that’s considered embarrassing or childish
- Having a psycho stalker
- Buying a present from Santa
- A reporter who doesn’t want to reveal their sources
- Buying a toilet and you don’t want toilet recommendations for the rest of your life
- Lending your computer to someone, and you don’t want your recommended videos to change
- Under an NDA
… Or maybe you’re talking with someone who’s in one of those categories.
We have to normalise privacy in order to keep these people safe. For instance, it’s a stupid example but it works, if I always use private browser windows, my husband won’t suspect anything when I’m looking for a gift for him.
That’s only the tip of the iceberg and it’s not even touching some bigger problems:
- You can be profiled based on your likes, social media posts, purchase history, etc, and maybe used for election results manipulation, or who knows what else. That’s not a conspiracy theory, it has happened, see for instance Cambridge Analytica.
- Maybe the political situation will change in the future. Oops, now your data is suddenly in the hands of a malicious dictator.
- If you keep a backdoor open to let the “good and trusted” actors in, there’s no way to not let malicious actors in as well.
SlimSocial for Facebook works, it’s just slow.
1·3 years agoI also use them on both, KDE has default bindings.
I use this and you can preemptively create some groups you can share your location to, then turn those on. If this works for you.
1·3 years agoAh, no, this is some Internet slang, and oddly enough it comes from the first meaning. AFAIK, the second one doesn’t exist in Japanese.
Basically, “hahaha” in Katakana is written as ハハハ. If you line up enough ハハ’s, it will look like a series of ｗ’s.In chats, they use ｗ (from 笑い、warai) to denote laughter. If you line up enough ｗｗｗｗ’s, it looks like grass. That’s how 草 ended up meaning LOL.
Oh yes, I completely agree with you! I was saying this exact thing to my sensei some time ago and she couldn’t understand what I mean, despite knowing a few foreign languages herself, Japanese is her native language so she couldn’t judge it from the perspective of someone learning it as a foreign language. But I also like how everything is well-structured and it’s also not full of exceptions. My husband only started learning a few months ago but he also agrees!
2·3 years ago- Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
- Email using mailcow.
- Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
- Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
- pihole
- Half-finished home automation stuff.
Do we need it to officially migrate? We just need an AITA community with at least a small handful of users, and there’s one right here.
Earlier this year I was given one of those XPS machines with Ubuntu and decided to install Debian on it. The camera driver was so bad - I can’t remember technical details but you can’t simply get it to run on another kernel, it was a mess of hacks to get it to work. I decided I won’t get a camera driver. “We ship a laptop with Ubuntu” does not necessarily mean working Linux drivers.
