How many people use Pornhub for discovery though? I usually find interesting content through a search engine, through word of mouth, through posts on here, etc. at which point it doesn't really matter where the porn is hosted. A lot of the useful content I use aren't even on Pornhub.

Seriously though, I agree with you, githubs value to open source is not it's discover-ability. Personally I think its value comes from the stability, as much as I'm an advocate for self-hosting I know from the amount of dead links on the internet that we could have lost a lot of projects or at least they would move about as hosts went down.

I quite like the idea of federated gitea, although technically there is already a federated platform for porn if you count Lemmy and/or mastadon.

I'm not a fan of either and would advocate everyone not consume large amounts of video content because of how heavy it is from an environmental point of view and move away from corporations from an anticapitalist/freedom point if view.

Let's not kid ourselves though, as shit as twitch is, it does not come close to having the same grip google has on the internet and our lives.

Peertube is a completely different platform, perhaps you're mixing it up with YouTube clients like newpipe or invidious?

Should be called intensely_inhumane 🤣

School shouldn't be like prison and neither should prison tbh.

Prison is designed as a punishment, its pretty problematic to want children to go through a similar system in their formative years, nevermimd that there is so much evidence that prison doesn't even work and just causes worse outcomes.

Treat someone like a criminal they will act like a criminal.

There's no two sides here, the aguments about distractions and agency fall apart when you compare countries like Sweden and Denmark where they don't have uniforms and allow the students lot more agency, against countries like the US, UK and Ireland where they infantalise their students and in the UK's and Ireland's case uniforms are mandatory.

The Nordic countries have way better school performance scores.

On what?

There is nothing on there that you couldn't find an equivalent of in text form(web or paper) or in the millions of hours of TV and film available on and off the web(both legal and not so legal) or on other platforms like twitch/nebula/peertube/lbry.

I've got too many atm, fb messenger, insta, discord, signal, SMS.

Signal is what I'm trying to push, not sure if it counts as decentralised 🤷

Looking to consolidate rather than tack on another that I don't think anyone I know uses.

Already using libre wolf with containers so not sure how much of a benefit I'd get from moving to an app.

Again back to minimalism I'd rather move away from it completely than have to have a another service to continue using discord. Could change if I start using matrix.

Instead of going fedi I'm going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I'll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)

Sadly not haven't had a tablet for like 8 years

Check out XDA forums or if you want an easier time, check out the lineage OS devices page. If its on the lineage site there's a good chance other OS's are available as well.

Not as bad as you'd think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn't hard on their devices.

If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don't like not having google (the ones I use don't have this issue YMMV)

I'd also recommend simplifying how you use you're device. Ie, don't have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.

Don't stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It's designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.

You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.

The best device is the one you already have.

Gonna give you my honest two cents.

You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.

Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.

Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.

Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.
