I use a Windows VM (Tiny10 works ok here) in whatever lightweight linux OS I’m fucking with at the time. All my files and stuff are on a local server so I can swap distros easily if I want.

Usually it runs ok, can game, and I dont have to deal with restarting a bunch of stuff. I’ve been using CachyOS, not sure if I like it yet

why does the female cat have clothes on but tom has no clothes on

yeah i was just wondering if there was a quick chart somewhere so i could be lazy

i have a ibm laptop with a really old ssd running and the health of everything looks very good. i never wrote a whole lot to the ssd, i feel like this computer could last 30 years or more without going fully obsolete. its just a basic laptop with not very good hardware that i use for looking up information during a tabletop game, read a pdf, or to browse the internet. sometimes i message people on it. perfect for my use case, and probably will never need anything more than this. it always has to be plugged in because the battery sucks now, but its lightweight and portable so its not a big deal.

Is there any info about how much the base system uses?

you should try damnsmalllinux, it had a revival recently. though the absolute smallest modern one is probably Slitaz? or alpine linux

though you can definitely set up debian to use less than 500 ram today, kde/gnome are kinda hogs

half the time i end up using some sort of esp product that costs 2-5 dollars per unit and buy them bulk from china and daisy chain them

way better than a pi

techbros are gonna have to start providing receipts on why they arent shit

It does

I feel like trans spaces or moving more towards building our own infrastructure rather than relying on certain genocidal megacorporations like Facebook, so thats probably part of the decline in use of apps like this.

This isnt a meme, this is you posting your own personal beef with someone and crying about it

US State Department 🤝 You

Doubt it, I messaged them about either possibility, crickets. Maybe if they had a trans person or simply someone that isn’t a guy on the team it would be different. Right now I fully suggest swapping to hexbear if you want a safer space for trans people, but if you’re fine with wading through bullshit, other places are fine I guess.

You defended biden’s genocide so… not exactly a civil thing you did there. You led with being evil.

sure, simplex is very private, but its also a pain in the ass to use currently. i feel like matrix makes a decent tradeoff between easy use and privacy

they hated him because he spoke the truth smh

use matrix, briar, simplex in that order

also what email platforms + vpns do you recommend, out of curiosity?

matrix stays winning

Ada refused to answer a simple direct question that I posed “Will you ban trans fascists/racists” and preferred to talk around it

As such blahaj.zone is not an inclusive space and is fundamentally only for white people of a liberal bent, the only place I can recommend as accepting and inclusive and has a large trans community is hexbear.

Also, to be frank, most of their community is /c/196. Trans people feel like a minority there.

‘Apolitical’ just means liberal and too accepting of transphobes, racists, and chasers and is a prime issue with this instance even.

A lot of instances have a thing against hexbear, which imo is just because cis white boys love to keep making shit up about trans people / cry when the trans people don’t like transphobia and are mean to transphobes. Half of hexbear is trans.
