Don’t Fall for the Third-Party Trick
  • Not a single party on the face of the earth is gonna switch to an alternative voting system. Democracy devolving into 2 parties is a problem in nearly every country and unfortunately the ones who can make the change are the ones who benefit from first pass the post voting

    No "democratic" party is gonna switch to STAR or a similar voting system unless the citizens start being very loud.

    On other hand, radicalizing people to support alternative voting is also very hard, because it is hard to explain and hard to understand for majority of people and its often viewed as if the supporter is trying to benefit from the said change and trying to sabotage democracy, when in reality, they are the ones who want real democracy

  • Yeah, Hans Asperger was a nazi. His clinic is responsible for murdering hundereds of autistic children. Wikipedia

    Also asperger's has been merged into the autism spectrum in DSM 5 due to it being nearly the same as autism but functional

    Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone?
  • I made a 100GB alt account and uploaded 25GB of files through an encrypted mount. We'll see what happens when I cancel it tomorrow

    Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone?
  • Yup I know I am the product. That's why we are encrypting everything with AES256 before upload using rclone's crypt remote

    I just don't trust any cloud provider tbh. Performance hit from AES256 is very insignificant and it provides solid privacy regardless of provider. Might as well get the cheap one

    Possibility of Google keeping API access up after cancellation is why I asked this question. To learn what happens when to rclone Google drive mount after an expiration

  • I just like how it punches. But I acknowledge it's been used by horrible people in the past and I just don't wanna say it since it reminds me of Hans Asperger and American eugenics society every time I hear it

    Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone?
  • Well, my VPS is used mainly by my friends for Minecraft servers, collaboration, file sharing, streaming and pretty much everything cloud related

    Most of them live in Istanbul and my VPS provider is one of the most reliable and affordable providers located in Istanbul.

    Unfortunately, Hertzner doesn't work for me because their prices are astronomical for me compared to Google's regional pricing for Turkey (40TL/mo = 1.1USD/mo for 2TB)

    I just wanna exploit the service as much as possible since I just don't rely on them. Electricity prices are too high for homelab but maybe I could set up a solar powered server if I save a little (I'm a student, I don't have much money, but I like the hobby)

    I'll probably try accessing cancelled drive account with rclone and find out if it's possible

  • Hi. I am currently using google drive mounted with rsync (encrypted) to stream files over my VPS since my VPS provider charges a lot for extra storage compared to google. I have offline backups of the said data at home

    I currently have a 100GB google drive plan and it's working suprisingly great. Also it's cheap in my country due to regional pricing

    Now, as I learned, Google keeps your files for 2 years after you cancel your extra storage subscription. It also doesn't allow you to upload anything which locks up Gmail but that doesn't matter if it's an alt account. So, can I just create an alt account, buy a 1 month subscription, upload everything, cancel it, then read it using rclone? Does Google restrict api access (for rclone) on drives with expired subscriptions?

    Yeah I know I'm stretching this a bit too far but I just wanna know

  • I've got tinnitus too. Mine is not disturbing in the morning but gets really loud in silent rooms, so loud it sometimes disturbs my sleep. Interestingly enough, I'm interested in hifi

    Both VS and tinnitus are not professionally diagnosed though and they are the least of my concerns. ADHD and asperger's (both professionally diagnosed and treated to some extent) is what affects my life most

  • Hi there. My guide is currently hosted at survival.aesistril.com. I wrote some stuff but it's really hard to write every guide by myself.

    My goal is to create a easy to follow guides for the average joe and compile every other guide into one web page. I want to be able to link this whenever a relative or a friend asks me how to get rid of x

    Name and URL suggestions (under .aesistril.com subdomain) are welcome. I am currently using open source hardware icon because it looks cool

    I am using the CGA color palette and I would appreciate if you don't use any other colors. Not a strict restriction though

    Source code is here on GitHub. Pull requests, markdown guides, docx, txt, every type of contribution or constructive criticism is appreciated

    Maybe this could be a positive thing for newbies since now mastodon instances can federate with Tumblr and Threads to become more viable

    Or could it bring destruction? Just like what happened with XMPP and OpenID

    There are more general conversation posts than shitposts in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.ml If you wanna discuss about something just post it on the appropriate discussion community, not in !memes@lemmy.ml

    Half of the """fun""" stuff is extremely depressing. Can someone explain to me how an overused meme about "Big corporations are destroying our world, stealing our wealth and you can't do anything about it" is "fun"

    I don't wanna sound like a dopamine addict or a "Commies ruined my Lemmy" type of guy because I'm really not. I would happily take part in these discussions if they were posted on !politics I just don't wanna get reminded of these things while I'm just lurking around and trying to empty my head

    Only !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone knows how to post properly but even they suffer those same things and they are still not as great as r/196 from Reddit before it was closed

    Again my complaints are not about the content, it's great but rather it's about how nothing is categorized properly. If I wanna have fun and laugh a bit I don't wanna get interrupted by doomer posts and if I wanna get serious and discuss something I want an actual discussion post and not the comment section of a meme

    My brother is 12 and just like other people of his age he can't use a computer properly because he is only familiar with mobile devices and dumbed-down computers

    I recently dual-booted Fedora KDE and Windows 10 on his laptop. Showed him Discovery and told him, "This is the app store. Everything you'll ever need is here, and if you can't find something just tell me and I'll add it there". I also set up bottles telling him "Your non-steam games are here". He installed Steam and other apps himself

    I guess he is a better Linux user than Linus Sebastian since he installed Steam without breaking his OS...

    The tech support questions and stuff like "Can you install this for me?" or "Is this a virus?" dropped to zero. He only asks me things like "What was the name of PowerPoint for Linux" once in a while

    After a week I have hardly ever seen my brother use Windows. He says Fedora is "like iOS" and he absolutely loved it

    I use Arch and he keeps telling me "Why are you doing that nerdy terminal stuff just use Fedora". He also keeps explaining to me why Fedora better than my "nerd OS"
