Apple manufacturers moved from China to Vietnam. Now they’re desperate for workers. in c/technology@lemmy.world

Wrong, that's a lie. They're not desperate. Companies these days don't want to pay.

Arch Linux Installation Guide = How to take back control over our own computing, plus some extra tech skills, useful irrespective of your occupation or hobbies. I would suggest doing it a second device, like when already buying a new computer, so your stuff stays safe on the old one.

How to carrier level block all calls and texts to a phone number, to only allow data, to force others to use Signal? (lemmy.world)

Not just locally on the device! There must be an error when calling or texting the number.

Data must work for internet for Signal, VoIP, etc.

This is for a UK PAYG SIM.

There should be no way for anyone to demand my number, or for me to leak it, or doing so should be irrelevant as it does not work.

Ring doorbell alternatives (only camera or plus mic and speakers) + Small Size? (lemmy.world)

Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers, not the lock or bell.

Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption

Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn't stolen, attacked or bypassed.

Best answer yet

System-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) voice chat without registration or having to run my own server (to replace Discord)? (lemmy.world)

Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

  • Tell Jitsi -> github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/210

  • Tell Matrix -> github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/15284

  • Tell Element Call -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback)

  • Tell SimpleX -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398

Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?

Lemmy is libre software. Don't want to get abused? Keep Lemmy libre. (lemmy.world)
 

Lemmy is software anyone can develop and everyone controls, libre software, which makes it very hard for Lemmy to abuse us. To keep it this way, share the ideas of software freedom.

  1. Always check its software license: always check it is libre software (video guide here).
  2. Also avoid service as a software substitute.
  3. Libre software plus decentralisation [federation or peer-to-peer] is ideal.
  4. Remember, 'open source' misses the point.

If we focus on warning against individual apps, we must repeat our time and effort everytime new malware appears. So, target a common property: its software license.

With proprietary software, we are not the user, we are the used.

Let's leave [proprietary] Discord too (lemmy.world)
 

Discord blocks 3rd-party apps. Discord is not libre software.
