Should I buy a Pixel or a Samsung? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Haven't had a samsung phone since the note 3, but I remember having issues with unlocking the bootloader, I think you had to use some 3rd party tool because samsung provided no guide in their manual. With nexus and pixel phones it's really easy so them I can definately recommend.

According to wireguard itself the kernel-module based backend is more efficient/faster than the userspace implementation, and to use that it still requires root.

Adaway of course, and wireguard via the proper kernel module.

Love it. Heard about it from HN some years ago and been using it since. The guy who runs it is super friendly and aswers mails quickly too. And yes, it's super cheap, I'm using the "usage based" pricing or whatever it's called.

Thinking about donating, awkward question (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone!

I'm having a hard time making this post as I've been so thankful for this awesome instance and the people in it and don't want to sound ungrateful or start any unnecessary drama or controversy.

I'm thinking about setting up a recurring donation through opencollective but first wanted to try to make sure that I'm not supporting something that I'll later regret.

I've been reading some worrying reports of sensorship from some of the major instances and political affiliations of some core people in the Lemmy project.

I'm of course all for everyone being able to voice their opinion (ofc. excluding harrasment, personal attacks etc.) but sensorship of critical posts (from reliable sources) about any organization/state/nation is kind of a dealbreaker for me. I sincerely hope that these reports are false.

The mastodon code of conduct starts with the goal: Provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic.

Which sounds fantastic, but I'm interested in hearing if people have experienced any kind of censorship or other weird meddling with posts made on this instance or the mastodon.world one?
