Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads ( www.vice.com )

Anas Haqqani, a Taliban thinker with family ties to the leadership, has endorsed Twitter over the Facebook-owned Threads. He said Twitter has more freedom of speech and credibility than other platforms. The Taliban likes Twitter’s lax moderation policies which allow them to spread their message. Facebook and TikTok ban the...

They are a sovereign nation after all, like it or not.

Australian government:

Australia’s longstanding policy is to recognise States, not governments. The Australian Government does not extend or withhold formal recognition to new regimes. Australia will continue to judge the Taliban regime by its actions.

Your comment has been posted in the wrong thread as I'm sure you're aware by now. FWIW, this is a known Lemmy bug.

Turn your phone off every night for five minutes, Australian PM says ( www.theguardian.com )

Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn't permanently installed on a phone.

These days, I don't think phones even turn off completely. Closing to sleeping. And only a portion of background services will stop and restart.

What I’m saying is - even though it says “shut down”, it’s not doing a real shut down. Yes, you could fully let the battery run dry. But that takes 12 hours and you can’t do it once a day. Plus it ruins your battery’s capacity.

It would be nice to have a list of these to check on in a year time when they feel less like an alpha version.

There isn’t a cutoff in my experience. I’ve met more over 40 gamers that are chill to hang out with then under 25s.

Well Google is gutting ad blockers. So maybe there will be an extremely minor exodus yet.

VPS backup?

I've returned after taking into consideration everyone's advice on what I should do with my basic VPS and.....listened to none of it for reasons. Well, I had a good reason. I wanted to diversify my internet consumption with all this Reddit API mess and have gone back in part to RSS. In that vein I have stood up Minflux and...

Alternative iOS apps for Lemmy?

I’ve been trying to use mlem now for about a week and I just find that it lacks a lot of very basic functionality. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it’s all new and everyone’s scrambling to build and improve, I’m not faulting the mlem devs here. But until things like copy/paste work and notifications exist, the mobile...

Try adding the site to your home screen. It will actually add a progressive web app, which is surprising useful.
