Matrix has spaces, which are collections of rooms.
There's also XMPP. It's not quite the same as discord, but it's another federated chat protocol.
It's not federated, but revolt.chat is probably the closest open source discord alternative.
The're not meaningless. There's plenty of stronger strategies if you can coordinate them, but protests are still useful, and easier to get people started on.
Even if it doesn't have an immediate effect, protests help get people connected and organized. They find others in their area they can work with, and groups learn to coordinate with each other better. It can inspire people seeing how many others agree with them, and get them more active and engaged.
A lot of the ways they scrape documents are the same used by accessibility tools, so I'd generally recommend against doing this.
Sorted them into a few categories
Social
Cheogram - xmpp chat, can also handle phone and sms gateways
Fedilab - my preferred fediverse app for mastodon
Jerboa - preferred lemmy app
K-9 Mail - email
Pixelix - pixelfed app. not sure if I like this or PixelDroid better yet
Media
AntennaPod - podcasts
Kiwix - offline copies of useful wikis, q&as, archives, etc.
Librera FD - books
NewPipe - watch youtube videos, although google keeps trying to break it
Voice - audiobooks
Security
Aegis - two factor authentication
KeePassDX - password management
WG Tunnel - VPN connection, still not sure if this is the best option
Notes and Documents
Orgzly Revised - note taking. for people not familiar with emacs something like logseq or safe notes might be better
Pinkt - bookmarks
Syncthing-Fork - synchronize files between devices
System
F-Droid - technically it can install itself
Lawnchair - alternative home screen / app launcher
ntfy - runs in the background, handles push notifications for some other apps
Unexpected Keyboard - has the fancy keys that most android keyboards leave out
Other Tools
Fennec - basically firefox
Organic Maps - sometimes missing info and it doesn't have traffic data. simpler than OsmAnd
PocketPaint - make art on your phone
QuickDict - offline multi-language dictionary
I've got hundreds more installed, but those are some of my favorites.
HBO threw out the whole thing after it was already finished filming as a tax write off.
It was pretty heavily associated with the alt right a decade ago as it was getting more popular. Some alt right meme communities like frenworld and clown world were centered around it, with overtly fascist pepe variants. It's gotten more popular in a lot of other circles, but if someone identifies enough with it to use as a profile picture I'd at least check their posting history.
For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:
The main thing is that TinyCC has already been bootstrapped.
Check out this page on bootstrappable.org. Basically they start with a 200 something byte binary (hex0) that can act as an assembler, then using a bunch of layers of tools and compilers you can bootstrap a whole system. I think they use stage0 to build M2-Planet, use that to build GNU Mes, and use that to build TinyCC.
So a project like this fits neatly into that bootstrapping path. It could be done other ways, but starting from a fairly complete C compiler makes it a lot easier than building an entire path from scratch.
Cladistically dolphins are a type of toothed whale. They're more closely related to species like sperm whales than toothed whales and baleen whales are to each other.
It's not brassica oleracea though, it's a different species, brassica rapa. The same species as napa cabbage, brocolli rabe, and bok choy. Rutabaga is actually a hybrid of the two species.
That's monthly right? It's a slight exageration, but that's close to low end used car payments. And from what I understand it'll go up as bluesky gets more popular, and the more relays there are.
