yeah i do this quite often. tar gz the home folder and pushed it to the phone with rsync/termux

kdenlive and openshot are my choice. openshot is easier for basic stuff but kinda buggy (at least it was in 2023)

my thinkpad is haunted, it sometimes boots up by itself

probably a faulty power button

bro isn’t using butterfly to flip bits?

A Galaxy S7 is still fairly powerful. It should be able to do everything a phone does. Put LineageOS if you need a more recent android version. Are you on a bootloader permalocked variant?

well i could block people/insance if i want, on my account level. unless it’s a moderation problem i prefer having the server not blacklisting certain accounts/instances based on their view.

it seems like lemmy.today is decent, especially since there are no blocked instances. i moved from lemmy.sdf.org recently since their servers were down too often.

same, i see IRCv3 is pretty good on paper. it’s pretty hard to find and configure it to work like discord with persistent history and file uploads though… would be nice if i can convince my friends to switch over.

i agree it’s very in beta state but i’ve known them since revolt days and tried it numerous times. it could work for some people that only needs basic chat and discord-ish UI. haven’t tried simplex or mumble, i agree jitsi works well but the UI is not like discord (idc but my friends do), matrix is too buggy but could be fine if it actually works.

edit: i’m looking at zulip rn as the discord replacement for my friend group, since it has native ios/android apps and such. the only problem is the lack of voice chat/screen sharing. there’s kinda jitsi integration (button to create meeting link) but it’s not as well integrated as discord though. (on discord, one can see on the channel list if there’s someone in voice chat and if their mic is on, screen’s being shared, etc)

did see the dickpic shit, due to not much auto moderation there are quite a few of those…

the DM thing is weird, i never got any… (other than the nicole spam) perhaps you triggered some weird person :/

have tried running am rtmp server, for some reason even on my local network and very low res/quality it was awfully slow sadly… :/

mlmym for lemmy is quite literally old reddit. i’d like to try mbin/piefed but this frontend is too good for me.

plastic clothes doesn’t seem to get wrinkled as easily, and i guess they shouldn’t be ironed.

discord screen shares are very low latency and well integrated… is it possible to do something similar with obs? genuinely asking.

stoat aims for that but isn’t stable. matrix needs jitsi for screen sharing and streaming, that’s not like the smooth experience with discord. also i’m unsure about persistent chat in the long term, i’ve used matrix for a while and the rooms tend to not last for long amd get ‘upgraded’ or something (had to click on some button that said something around ‘this chatroom has moved’… and couldn’t search from the old chatlog properly)

it seems like they’re using matrix under the hood

Looked around for a while now, these are the alternatives I found.

• Zulip: More like a Slack alternative for an organization/team/group, can be self hosted, seems to be pretty mature and well made. Has good client apps. No screen sharing/voice chat.
• Stoat: Seems to be mostly similar to Discord, doesn’t seem mature though, self hosting documentation doesn’t seem refined, could be okay if you use their server, not sure about mobile apps
• Spacebar: 1:1 Discord clone, voice chat features seem to be incomplete but seems pretty good otherwise, I tried to install their server but it doesn’t run for me…
• Matrix: Feature complete, but kinda buggy, may work well enough for some but my friends complained for poor UX
• Mattermost: Gotta self host or pay, there seems to be some weird limitation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46861331 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46594673
• IRC: maybe not for non-techies, but IRCv3 has some “modern” features and Goguma(Android)/TheLounge(Web) looks quite decent
• XMPP: Seems like it should be good, but I’m having trouble setting it up so can’t tell
• Tailchat: UI looks just like Discord, but I just heard of it now so haven’t tried

no. i believe you’re talking about how existing x11 programs can run under wayland through xwayland. kde plasma as of now can still operate as an X11 DE.

i would just carry a mostly empty (wiped) laptop and a recent-ish iphone. i do hate iphones but they’re reasonably secure, and many chinese apps are notorious for crazy background usage and shits. those apps’ ios versions tend to be much better/less intrusive. you’ll probably have to use a few to find places or make payments…
