That is just how Lemmy posts federate to Mastodon. I shared the same link directly.

Maybe one of those:

Not a good one 🙄

This is not what anarchism means 🙄 Go back to your ancap hideout.

Andrewism just made a nice video on the fundamental myths of our society, which is the same as what Graeber is referring to here.

Well, in theory airplane mode should disable it, but as a software feature that could be spoofed if the device is compromised. Some privacy focused phones have hardware kill-switches for the cell-modem because of that.

The “not super accurate” location is only from one cell tower (via the shared public IP). Triangulation via multiple cell towers is something only the ISPs with antennas near you can do, and it can be much more accurate.

Due to the emergency call function, a mobile phone will still connect to cell towers and send the unique device id even if you take out the sim.

(Might be mentioned in the video)

This is odd because I know a few mainland Chinese people that use XMPP without problems (and afaik without a VPN).

Sounds like your server got blocked for another reason?

That’s quite competitive energy density wise to LiFePO4 batteries. I wonder what the prices are.

Well, instead of leaking metadata to Signal, AWS, Cloudflare, Google/Apple and your ISP, like Signal does, RCS only leaks it to your ISP /s

You can easily redirect xmpp to port 443 which is not blocked by most firewalls. If you have problems with firewalls or public wifis your xmpp server is misconfigured.

The actual military grade (xmpp based) messengers implement security lables, meaning messages are tagged with the required security clearance and if you invite random people to a chat they can’t see the messages.

It’s both an undenyable fact of our near-term future but also a great way to rally community efforts around and build resilient structures that can over time evolve into something more. I personally think its a win, but of course with an unfourtunate background.

Seems like a good start on the basic ideas. Maybe some additional thoughts on community prepardness for climate disasters would be useful?

Places like Kickstarter and Patreon show that crowdfunding can be hugely successful. Sadly the incentives of these platforms don’t align well with their customers, so people have grown a bit jaded with Kickstarters recently and Patreon mostly devolved into a winner takes all attention economy that leaves lesser known creators with scraps only.

But the general idea is not bad. An ethical platform like Kickstarter that vets projects a bit and only allows coops or so would probably work well if they can convince people that those are relatively safe bets.

Sadly the payment processing side of things is a legal minefield, which makes it really hard and potentially expensive to set up an alternative.

Wait for the next hardware upgrade and then set up a new system while keeing the old system running in parallel.

This goes to the main developer, which is a person in Canada. But I think they have a few collaborators that will likely get on board more now that they want to set up a non-profit (?) foundation to manage the Pixelfed codebase and IP.

Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.

Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.

Tagging @rimu@piefed.social as mentions don’t work in post bodies, only in comments.

Would be interesting indeed to have a database migration script or so.
