  • I'm sympathetic to many parts of the despair you shared. As for naming it as a whole:

    Gnosticism? (Belief in a malevolent deity...)

    Nihilism?

    Fatalism?

    Misanthropy?

    As you said, though, "there is room for human connection even in a gulag". Positives can be found in life. Look for the good bits. Play to your strengths. Help others when possible. Maybe look for charities or state agencies that can help you with the job-hunt? Stay healthy.

  • I overlooked this line from the docs:

    Benötigt werden cmake, git, libgd und libusb - bei manchen Distributionen (z.B. Ubuntu) sind die Header-Files in separaten Paketen "libusb-dev" die ggf. noch nachinstalliert werden müssen.

    I should have done sudo apt install libgd-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev before attempting compilation.

  • US prosecutors charge Atlanta man after GrapheneOS phone wipes itself during airport search

  • @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

    It would be trivially detected by widely distributed standard forensic software including the non-Premium variant of Cellebrite able to run on a laptop.

    By "duress profile", I mean that if user has enabled a "duress profile" feature in Settings, then entering the duress PIN would:

    1. Erase (the encryption key for) all profiles and storage outside the duress profile; then
    2. Unlock the duress profile.

    So, how would forensic software detect that the unlocked profile is a duress profile?

  • Mullvad on the Donation Controversy

    Jump

  • On 18 Jan 2025, before Proton and Mullvad CEOs came out in support of the far right, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) recommended:

    • Mullvad (Sweden)
    • Mozilla VPN* (USA/Sweden)
    • Proton VPN (Switzerland)
    • Tunnelbear (USA/Canada; owned by McAfee in USA)
    • IVPN (Gibraltar)
    • Windscribe (Canada)

    I've crossed out the first three, since Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad, and Mullvad's and Proton's CEOs support extremists.

    Nym is not on the list, so presumably didn't meet FPF's requirements.

  • Is there a fix for, "This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete."

    Jump

  • if you follow a user their future posts will be sent to your server. We were talking about implementing a backfill option, but there is no eta yet

    Thank you for explaining. That must indeed be the reason I couldn't see those toots on Mbin.

    so no guarantee it will be implemented at all. But since it is an annoying problem, maybe it will

    Backfill would be great! Server capacity concerns notwithstanding.

    In the meantime, clearer wording for the info banner would be an easy, helpful UX improvement:

    • Before subscribing: "This Fediverse profile is hosted on a different server than yours. If you, or another user on your server, were to subscribe to this profile, the profile's subsequent posts would be displayed here. The profile's older posts can be viewed on their server"

    • After subscribing: "This Fediverse profile is hosted on a different server than yours. Now that you have subscribed, the profile's future posts will be displayed here. The profile's older posts can be viewed on their server"

  • Thanks for your reply. I should have been clearer!

    It's not the banner that bothers me, it's the fact that that microblog's posts (toots) aren't being displayed when viewed from Mbin!

    Is there anything I can do in order to get those posts to propagate through to Mbin? Would I have to contact the admin for the Mbin instance hosting my account? Something else?
