Legit question @people who know more about Theo than me, but isn't Theo like, actually a pretty nice guy, even if right wing? Dude kinda reminds me a bit of Destin from SmarterEveryDay, who's obviously on the redneck side of things, is right wing as far as I can tell, but is still extremely knowledgeable, incredibly chill, and actually cares about the foundations of his stances and doesn't buy into divisionist rhetorics.

I might be assuming things and jumping to conclusions, which is why I am asking this, but I vaguely recall a video he made which clearly showed he held right wing positions but had no issue tearing down right wing propaganda and stances if they were bullshit.

First post about Honduras I see on Lemmy. I'm from Honduras. Castro is the first left-wing president since her husband was sacked in the 2009 Coup. The two elected presidents since then have all been right wing and have all been involved in drug trafficking and corruption scandals, with the last one, Juan Orlando Hernandez, having been extradited and sentenced in the US over serious drug trafficking charges. His presidency is remembered as a "narco-estado". During this time, he got reelected, which was previously unconstitutional and which also was the foundational reason for the 2009 Coup: Castro's Husband, Manuel Zelaya, sought to hold a referendum to rewrite parts of the constitution, with critics of his government as well as a general majority of the populace believing that he sought to write in the ability to run for reelection. He was ousted before the referendum took place. Juan Orlando achieved this by simply replacing the supreme court with his picks, and the court approved the legality of reelections during his time. A tiny little detail about the 2009 Coup: just a month before the coup, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Honduras in an official context. It is speculated by some that she gave green light on behalf of the US for the coup to occur.

All this to say, we have a bittersweet relationship with the US. I'm personally absolutely not a fan of the US, but without extradition, Juan Orlando and many of his accomplices would have remained free and immune from justice. Castro's presidency was essentially a vote from the people to bring down justice on Juan Orlando, so we view his extradition as the best thing to have happened in this situation. Naturally, we are not reacting that well to this news now that Castro and her family might receive the same treatment as Orlando: The Zelaya family has a long history of drug trafficking, and Manuel Zelaya's father was directly involved in a month-long massacre, eventually being convicted to 20 years for the murders alongside other perpetrators, before being released after 1 year by the National Assembly. Castro's presidency is currently plagued by nepotism in all levels of government, chaos and disarray throughout the legislative branch as parties fight among themselves for power over congress, and recurring cries from Castro herself to follow on the footsteps of Venezuela specifically, which we all can currently see how that's going for them.

I guess I'm just saying that there's no right calls when it comes to Honduran governments. It's all corruption all the way down.

As someone who has a profile only for Whatsapp (used to also be Instagram), a profile for banking & finances, a profile for some stuff that needs play services, and a profile for most other stuff (main profile).....don't use profiles unless you're only creating one more at the most, and you're absolutely certain there's no need to share information between the profiles.

Graphene has had a long-standing bug from upstream AOSP, if I recall correctly, where it'll always ask for your pin when changing profiles, and only sometimes will it allow you to use your fingerprint or alternative methods to get into your profiles. I almost never get the fingerprint option for my main profile, and have to tap back from the pin input on other profiles to get the option to use fingerprint, and not always. They do sometimes push something that loosely resembles a fix, but it'll go back to not working after another update.

Regarding communicating between profiles, that's hard to pull off. The curveball of having to send screenshots from banking apps, say, confirming transactions, it's made a lot worse with profiles. I'm currently relying on my nextcloud instance to upload screenshots from finances, then downloading those screenshots from nextcloud into my WhatsApp profile, just to send a proof of transfer to someone. I'm definitely not keeping my phone like this for much longer.

All else considered, however, I'm not going back to a ROM that doesn't respect me as the owner of my device. I'm happy to have switched to graphene and I am here to stay.

Huh, last I checked, the professional standard was Mac, at least for recording instruments. From what I vaguely recall, Windows has a latency issue due to how they handle audio stream inputs. I went through these woes myself once while using my guitar & Amp through my computer to practice with headphones on and having the music playing on top. The latency just doesn't allow you to concentrate on what you're playing, it completely distracts you. You can get it lower by doing something, I don't remember what, but that solution ends up introducing random new bugs such as certain audio streams suddenly not playing at all for a while before fixing themselves, and it still doesn't quite get latency low enough to not notice it.

As a non-American, I always saw the "freedom fries" thing as a mockery of Americanism, I'm having a hard time believing this was a non-satirical idea.

Considering award winning actress Margot Robbie moderates the android community and uses arch btw, I'd say it's right there on her face.

Have you seen catdog?

I'll one-up you, and I hope nobody I know reads this. I work from home as a web dev. I have ADHD. I sometimes work deep into the night because I procrastinate all day. I'll be working with one hand and stroking it rock hard with another, with no real horniness or need to cum for hours. It's just like a fidgeting thing. I'm looking at code, sleep deprived out of my mind, and somehow rock hard. I don't get it, but I'm too stressed to care.

Lol that's absolutely not true

They already have a sort of functional "Assistant". You can type to it, or you can use OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text language model loaded up on your Home Assistant machine through an add-on in order to talk to it, it works pretty much as well as any other proprietary speech to text model, except it's self hosted. The assistant can talk back with another add-on, though the voices are still too robotic IMO.

Key part in all of this is the "sort of functional" bit. Commands seem to have to be very literal to be understood, otherwise it just tells you it doesn't understand.

I'd still rather host my own assistant than rely on Google or Alexa, though, so I'm just gonna put my faith on the HASS team.

We're way beyond saving by planting trees. We're way beyond saving by picking up trash on the streets. This is a worldwide systemic issue that can NOT be solved by individuals reducing their carbon footprint, we as a species need a negative carbon footprint to survive this century, or even these next few decades, or even these next few years. We have a transport problem, we have a factories problem, we have an affluence problem, a conglomerates problem, we have a capitalism problem, we have a "progress" problem.

It's ridiculous to get angry at a child that sees all this and cries out in desperation, most of us will die before she and her generation does, and they're going to be left with a mess beyond repair. And it's not because Timmy ate a burger or because Anne didn't pick up trash in a park, nor is it because Bob commutes using a car, it's because our economic system demands "progress" at all cost right this moment. It's because our cities around the world prioritize cars and cheap individualistic transportation. It's because prices need to be stable, so let's throw products away to create a limit on supply. It's because it's more profitable to implement planned obsolescence than it is to implement renewability and durability into products. This is clearly not something that can be solved by a single person, whether that person is an everyday anon who does his or her best to reduce their carbon footpront, or whether that is a kid addressing the world leaders while in distress about her future life in this world. The change that needs to happen is revolution, and the world is too complacent and too scared of taking such actions to save itself, and I can't really blame people for it, even if we should.

I think a more appropriate approach is just to mention lemmy to your circles of friends and try to get any redditors you personally know to give lemmy a try, at least get the app installed so they can browse both reddit and lemmy. Lemmy won't be able to handle millions upon millions of new people, especially ones with no guidance, but communities aren't built overnight and we should do our best to get those who could use lemmy to use lemmy, one at a time. We shouldn't be trying to overthrow reddit, just give a viable alternative to those willing to try one. It's the more organic approach.
