I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.

I think it’s a neat project!

I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.

Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.

I loved photofield!

Never used calls…

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.

It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.

Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.

I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.

I have no idea which part of the world you live, but here nothing of that is true most of the time.

That would be a love story between a first year and a last year student. Maybe unusual, but mostly doomed to last 3 months at best.

Indeed a 17-19 is more common, and 18-19 quite common, but I wouldnt worry too much. Monitor yes, specially if the 16yo is somebody I care for/of.

But child abuse? That’s a bit stretched.

In my experience, a 19yo male is as mature as a 16yo female… (Well, maybe, not always…)

A 16yo male would be significantly less mature than a 16yo female…

What I mean is that male and female mature differently and boys grow up later than girls. I would see as puzzling a 19yo female dating a 16yo male.

16-19? Not pedophilia. Not literally nor legally, move on.

Pedophilia means being attracted by somebody who does not show sexual maturity yet, and I strongly doubt that I the case (I have a 16yo daughter, so…). And laws, usually, have clear exceptions for similar ages people like this, as it’s expected and quite normal. I mean given how stupid males are at that age, he being 3y older alny means they are closer than two 16yo.

Are they both in school? Is there some power imbalance or abuse? Otherwise, move on and let them live their lives.

Honestly, after some time, I just started realizing how shitty reddit posts are, and specially how toxic comments and the overall environment is…

So, i don’t miss it.

The GMK seems more configurable and cheaper overall.

Beside this, there is no real difference as far as Linux support, I think.

For fun, in the 90’s. Windows was cool still, but what Linux was at the time was just fashinating and I just loved it.

Nothing phone here, stock is as close to AOSP as it gets across the board.

Not a big effort to promote your new community, eh?

Yes i would…

Afterall, my governemnt already issue me an id and much more than that.

Would I use it as my only or main Lemmy instance? Surely not.

I would use it only for government related stuff and express none of my political views.

And soon you will need a second device with locked down bootloader and play integrity to use mainstream apps.

What when meta will require attestation to run WhatsApp? Not if, when…

Fully agree

Disclaimer: I have been a maintainer for LineageOS and a long time user.

Whoever advocates for LineageOS don’t get it. Using LineageOS will not fix any issue like this.

Already today using LineageOS means give up on banking apps, ID apps, and even McDonald’s and some games like Pokemon.

Yeah because Google with play intergrity now demands valid keys that gets invalidated as soon Google detect they are used for such usage. The cat and mouse game suddenly got much harder to beat.

So no, using LineageOS will soon be possible only with secondary devices and not your primary that you will need for your actual stuff to work.

this is my own experience.

Sure you CAN do it, but it’s much more difficult than anything lse to self-host at home.

Dahua where top of the class, unfortunately hard to find today. I run like 8 of them.

Reolink maybe, but own one and not really at par with Dahua.

If anybody knows who is the successor to dahua, let me know.

Chaper than that, sorry, it’s going to be shit.

Don’t selfhost email at home. Tons of reasons why won’t work, this is only the tip of the iceberg you are facing.

Indeed selfhost a mailserver, I do, but do it on a VPS. Of course, more the better, but a very cheap VPS is the bare minimum you gonna need.

No workaround there.
