hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace trans gal :3
this is my lemmy account that I use sometimes. I am also on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte@toot.cat :3
pronouns are she/her
i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly
personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!
finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game 😌
its surreal that we’re asked to be sympathetic towards the people exploiting immigrants and not, yknow, the immigrants themselves
i know there was a thing at the beginning of the project where they wrote a lot of the documentation with masculine pronouns (assuming the reader was male), and when they were asked to change that for gender neutral pronouns, they said no because “they don’t want politics in their project”
beyond that however, idk if they eventually changed that or if they did other bad stuff
edit: here is a source
also, idk how true this is, but ive seen that google sells pixels at a loss when they’re on sale (they expect to make back the money by spying on you)
so if you were to get a pixel while it’s on sale and install grapheneos on it, not only would you get a nice phone with a secure os, but you’d do so while costing google money. win win win!

POV: you are a device which was thought to be wireless
the USA (and canada, and australia, and new zealand, and many more) are settler colonial states that were born out of mass genocide dictated by white supremacist rhetoric.
these states are white supremacist to their core
the fascists of the fedi don’t roam free on the wider network, they harass in secret, usually in DMs or “followers only” posts
there’s also a problem with subtle white supremacy, where Black people (and other POC, but mostly Black people) will get piles and piles of harassment that’s totally unrelated to being Black you see, of course, but its not happening to white people for some bizarre reason!! (see also: the many cases involving TheBadSpace where any Black person who was ever so slightly in favor of Ro and their work would get a fuckton of harassment)
(the last one is present on pretty much all social media, be it pre-Musk Twitter, Bluesky or Tumblr, but im told that it’s especially bad on the fedi)
im surprised they haven’t done this tbh
okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??
anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???
the USA is not a “flawed democracy”, its an authoritarian regime that imposes its will on the world through imperialistic means
I don’t care to know if it’s better or worse than the chinese government, both are awful and both will get rid of you if they find you to be enough of a threat. fuck em both. fuck all governments really
opera sure, but at that point, any proprietary software can be used as an attack vector by the government of the country the software is made in, that’s not specific to china
i don’t see why chrome or safari should be considered more trustworthy than opera just because they aren’t made in china
the chinese government isn’t behind every software that’s made in china lol
like yea, opera is spyware, but so are chrome, safari and edge, and none of these are made in china
what does the browser being Chinese have to do with anything?
depends on the OS!
DuckDuckGo uses the default rendering engine of whatever OS you use it on, so webkit (also used by safari) on macOS and iOS and blink (also used by edge and chrome) on windows and android
even if it uses the same rendering engine on some platforms, it’s not based on chromium, so it’s not a chromium browser
that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.
in the west too our phones spy on us but everyone knows, everyone thinks it’s bad, and yet nobody cares
