gedaliyahto No Stupid Questions•Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?76·17 hours agoWork.
Working people can’t take off time to vote. Poor people can’t take off time to vote. Students, teachers, can’t take off time to vote. So in-person voting favors retirees, wealthy people, and business owners like farmers who can set their own hours.
If you are already doing Jellyfin, you can sync as much or little to your phone as you want. Just use finamp. It’s a very nice player for Android that connects to your Jellyfin and allows you to download any synced music on the go or stream it directly.
gedaliyahto Ask Lemmy•Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?5·1 day agoYeah, she has faced a lot of criticism in the last few years; some of it undeserved, some entirely deserved.
gedaliyahto Ask Lemmy•Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?261·1 day agoSince I didn’t see many creators who are women, here are a few recommendations:
The Space Gal (Emily Calandrelli)
Emily the Engineer (content can be pretty rough - profanity and simulated danger)
“gotta catch em all” never sounded so ominous…
It basically works like that on Mastodon, but on Lemmy, etc. you will see most of the content of all federated instances.
It’s common for new users to overthink the choice of instance - it doesn’t make a huge difference for most users and you can always switch if you find a better fit in the future.
You can pick one that is local to your country/region, or if you have a special interest like art or environmental activism, you may be able to find one that specializes in that. Otherwise choose any instance that is stable.
gedaliyahto Selfhosted•If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?English15·4 days agoLemmy has been a big part of it.
I’ve never been fond of paying big tech to spy on me. It has been getting gradually more expensive and more intrusive for years. Around the time I reached a breaking point, folks here helped me realize that digital sovereignty is possible.
One day I was just like, “Why does Google need to know when my lightswich is on?” And that was the start of it.
My top customizable FOSS launchers:
Kvaesisto
Search-based with native-themed widgets and app drawer. Lots of integrations, reliable, and my personal daily driver.Lawnchair
Drop-in replacement for Pixel launcher with some friendly features. Very active development.Ion Launcher
Automatic app folders by category and decent customization options.Einstein Launcher
Highly customizable and built from scratch. It’s under 3MB and already pretty capable, although it’s a young project and still in alpha
Free as in beer? Yes. Free as in open source? No. I used it for a long time and really liked it.
I also used the paid version at a certain point to support the devs. It unlocks a few cool features.
gedaliyahto World News•Putin thinks he can outsmart the US during Ukraine peace talks, a European intelligence chief saysEnglish30·6 days agoUnfortunately he doesn’t have to outsmart the US. He only has to outsmart Trump.
Tree Law. It’s pretty unbelievable how much trouble you can get in for messing with people’s trees.
Yes, extremely illegal. Wise people don’t mess with radio waves or trees.
gedaliyahto Android Apps•Looking for a pretty calendar app for Android that supports WebDAV either natively or via Davx52·7 days agoThere is a brand new version of KashCal that now has CalDAV support.
“From the river to the sea” apparently comes from the original slogan من المية للمية فلسطين عربية, which literally means “from the water [of the river] to the water [of the sea), Palestine will be Arab.” It’s been used in a number of different contexts, from Western groups that advocate for a single secular democratic state for Jews and Arabs, to groups advocating for Jewish elimination from the region.
Hi, mod here. In the future, please avoid posting from news aggregators like Yahoo, etc. Rather, post from the original article source (AAP in this case). This helps keep the community safe, transparent, and helps with moderation as well.
gedaliyahto Mildly Infuriating•People in local apps not reading or ignoring the point of posts.English3·7 days agoYou obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.
This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.
Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.
So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.
I’m surprised Qatari state media is exposing Iran’s nationalist military parades in the wake of these protests.
