Not quite, I’m mexican, not from the USA and it’s the same thing, we are being stripped from our rights, censored and constantly bombarded by propaganda because those who could have done something (example: punish those in power who were breaking the law) didn’t do anything.
Civilians were protesting but they were ignored so… Here we are, having a shitload of political parties is pointless since the voters gave practically absolute power to one.
It’s only effective because those who could do something didn’t do shit for one reason or the other.
Worse part is it’s damn Fedora KDE, they are meant to be user-friendly, this would make my sister go back to windows in less than a second
I was looking how to autologin on an old laptop that is used as a media player on my tv, followed the instructions but turns out thay whole section of the settings is missing for some reason.
Had to look wtf and turns out there’s a fix but it requires me sitting and taking my time with it (which I won’t have for a while), nobody else can do it but it bothers me to no end… Why the fuck did it happened in the first place? How can it’s own installer miss things?
Did you get it?
I kind of want it too for… Reasons… Stupid stupid reasons.
Maliciously written header, it’s not about tourists, it’s about USA immigrants who move to México but earn in dollars and pay no taxes, so obviously the market is trying to squeeze them leaving out the rest of the mexicans who can’t keep up with the prices (in every aspect).
Then again, this was caused by the now president who basically gave free reign to airbnb so she and her party could benefit from that money.
But lemmy says I’m wrong for criticising a fake leftist.

Which one of those is closer to what Telegram brings to the table?
Mostly pretty stuff like gifs/mp4/webm with alpha, stickers, animated stickers and handling things like webp/webm, self-destructing multimedia, chats that dissapear after X time, sending huge files, the option to send something as a file if it can’t be played internally, a desktop version that I can use simultaneusly… maybe groups and channels too, adding people by alias instead of phone number (maybe qr, but not a huge link like the one SimpleX uses).
You know, things that could help me to bring my “friends” and family on board or at least to give it a try.
Because Matrix isn’t exactly private since it’s meant to be a Discord clone and I share piracy among my friends and family, or for the sexy times with my friends, I need something that at least has self-destructing messages and chats where messages dissapear after some time.
I could trust it if I could self-host, but I lack the hardware (disk space, mostly) and the availability (I can’t leave my pc on all the time [also I live in México, the internet is terrible and I tend to hog it if I’m downloading something]), so I’d have to trust some random yahoo with my stuff but it wouldn’t have what I’m looking for anyway.
If nobody whines, people think we are ok with how things are, whining is good, even if we can’t do something about it
