No, the original depends on proprietary blobs. And so does molly, unless you use the FOSS version explicitly.

AFAIK, Google Maps, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Authentication and (since v5.24.15) Wallet/Payments. Might be more.

So, I started writing a (very) long answer with lots of detail, to respectfully and honestly answer your questions, from the PoV of a non-trans person that did quite a bit of research, but I stopped.

I just can’t. Neither can I be respectful towards you anymore. Your constant misuse of the term “mental illness” is aggravating, and quite frankly, disturbing. To the point I am wondering if it isn’t, in fact, a cry for help.

Are you mentally ill? Do you need help? It would really seem that you do.

Just as a thought to ponder: when most other people are mentally ill, maybe you should consider seeing a shrink.


I also want to correct a few things, not for the user I’m answering to, but for anyone reading my comment, because I just can’t let such a heap of manure stand uncorrected:

  1. There is no such thing as “physical gender”. Gender is a coercion and domination religious tool.
  2. Being trans, or identifying as a different gender, is a means to escape religious shackles. Escaping religious shackles isn’t “mental illness”.
  3. “Mental abnormalities” are bullshit. We aren’t computers, we are humans, and all different. There is no normal, except maybe the norm that most dimwitted people have no issue with LARPing a bullshit character decided for them, their entire life…
  4. Comparing “AD(H)D, BPD, Schizophrenia, etc” is exactly like comparing “bud light, meth, crack, etc”. I know that on the post-2015-internet people talk mostly out of their asses, but that doesn’t make it ok.
  5. Dysmorphia is a mental disorder. Dysphoria is “acute anxiety”. Again with the mental disorder implication.
  6. Force feeding medication to alleged “mentally sick” people is a nazi method. A humane approach is to provide care. As in talking with them, listening to them, helping realize, overcome traumas, (re)constructing an identity, etc.
  7. Feeling uneasy with one’s body is common, it is caused by the image communicated by society about what a “desirable body” is, and the difference between that image and one’s body.
  8. Medical and psychological care aren’t opposed, nor they are opposable.

For starters, a way to unban people would be nice. Then, also, a way to easily see new content for their community. Like, only new content. And not see it after it has been marked as “reviewed” (except as context to unreviewed content, when unfolded). I mean, new posts, new comments, etc. With alerts. Also, sudden activity alert.

A way to match keywords, and bring up matching posts and comments.

Metrics about each user’s contributions to the community, are they new, or seasoned. Did they contribute mostly popular content or unpopular content? What words do they use most? Etc.

Compiling multiple reports for a single post/comment into one. Ignoring reports from select users.

That’s all I can think of for now.

But, essentially, a dashboard with live content, showing “old” content as “greyed out”, and relevant actions, would be really, really useful.

Edit: additionally, automated actions would be great. Answering posts/comments matching regexes with templates populated with the user’s information; automatically removing, issuing warnings, and banning (outright or after n warnings) people for specific terms, etc.

It would also really help to have automation workflows (e.g. user commented with “r-word” or “n-word”, autocomment a warning, wait X minutes/hours, or Y minutes/hours after user comments again, remove comment/ban).

This automation could come as an additional tool, to be ran under a separate account.

I agree, we literally went there eons ago with weapons and a mighty superior attitude, took anything and everything of any value, sent our trash there, and somehow are now trying to gaslight the locals that “We ArE dOiNg It FoR tHeiR oWn GoOd!!1”. Fucking hypocritical colonialists.

It’s missing a very important bit tho: namely that the “taxes → bailout → billionaires” funnel is a lot less important than the “billionaire-owned, monopolistic marketplaces for basic-needs/essentials → billionaires” one.

Not only it’s how they get most of their money, but it’s also how they are literally controlling the entire economy, setting the prices for rent, food, and most consumer goods.

Cross, Star of David, Hand of Fatima, Om, etc.

Pretty much anything associated to (especially monotheistic) religion is a no go.

School in France is strongly Laic, and while it may vary from teacher to teacher (esp. with small symbols - earrings or pendants, etc - and discrete signs - triskelion, wheel of dharma, etc), obvious religious attire will definitely get you in trouble. It’s like entering a bank with your motorcycle helmet on: its color doesn’t matter, people will assume you are ill intended.

People tend to really forget that the defining event for the French republic, the Revolution, was as much about the church as it was about the nobility. And while the French society has regrettably become corrupt with an ever increasing tolerance to the return of nobility, it has fortunately retained a much more rigid stance towards religion. Religion is a personal affair. Once you start making it a public affair, be prepared for very public consequences.

In “your freedom ends where mine begins”, the keyword isn’t “you”…

No. You set limits. I understand your confusion if all you know is authoritarianism, but “setting limits” is actually diametrically opposed to “forcing”. Setting limits is literally how any fair society functions, literally how to educate, etc. Also, punctuation exists.

This is actually the reason. Because there is no such thing as “natural intelligence”. Not more than there is “natural strength”. There are natural predispositions, yes, but what you get is function of what training effort you put in. Whether you realise, and/or like, putting effort into training your intelligence, is is another thing. So people who are “above average” were in a favorable environment that fostered their development without it feeling forced, or unnatural. And then, when the environment was replaced by the school’s, it sadly didn’t foster personal development anymore. I would argue we would need to redesign education, now that we have internet. We don’t have to design courses around physical limits.

Don’t worry about the downvotes, Lemmy is a systemd sausage fest. If you want negative “karma”, just write “systemd bad” or even “pulseausio bad” anywhere, and wait…

7heo ,

Very valid alternatives include:

  • s6
  • runit
  • openrc
  • BSD rc.d

And you can find a pretty complete list here.

None of these even want to include support for features found in the Linux kernel, so that they work can work on all Unix systems out there.

I’m assuming you meant to say that “none of these are sacrificing portability for features”? If so, absolutely, and that’s very much a feature, not a bug. Portability matters.

So none offers similar features to lock down services out of the box, as those rely on Linux specific kernel features.

If using Linux specific features was the only approach to security, I wonder how OpenBSD exists.

Of course you can hack that into the init scripts somehow. Sysv-init has shown how well that worked cross-distribution.

That’s a bit disingenuous. SysV Init has long term glaring, unrelated issues. It is really showing its age.

Systemd moved the goal posts for what a Linux init system needs to do.

On that, I very much agree. Moving the goal posts doesn’t mean “doing the right thing”, however, and this fact is a big part of the reason some people complain about it.

I doubt any generic Unix init system can compete.

With the feature set? Absolutely not, you are correct. But the same way, systemd cannot compete with their simplicity, maintainability, smaller attack surface, and the list goes on and on and on.


So in the end, it is down to your personal preferences.

Which is theoretically all fine; but practically, it stops being “all fine”, for some people, when you consider systemd’s aggressive disregard to being compatible with literally anything else.
The systemd project is the software embodiment of the “this works and it works well, so why would you ever need anything else?!” mentality.
People take issue with the facts that “aggressive disregard to being compatible with literally anything else” reasonably translates to “having absolutely zero room for mistakes” (which, to be clear, systemd failed to honor multiple times: it isn’t perfect, which would be fine, in a vacuum, but not with this mentality) and that “works well” varies drastically from case to case, and from expectation to expectation (in short, it does not, always, “work well” for everyone and/or in every use case).

TL;DR: systemd existing is totally fine, systemd being used by the majority is totally fine. systemd de-facto causing other projects to put in (sometimes radically) more work than they should have to, is not okay; and systemd de-facto making itself irreplaceable on the grounds that “it’s fine, don’t worry about it”, is not okay.
