@thinkMoult @aadilayub @aral @mntmn I had the habit of changing my phone every year or so earlier. Then I learnt about all the mining and slave labor that goes into making smartphones. I'm using my current phone for the third year now thanks to #LineageOS and am targeting 5 years of usage.

is there any way to make liferea sync with nextcloud news? :blobwaitwhat:

As a software developer, it pains me to admit, but must be shouted from the rooftops anyways:

Technology can't fix harassment.

Anyone expecting tech to fix harassment only enables the clever assholes.

Algorithms that boost messages are overwhelmingly used by the most vocal and ruthless of any population to polarize the rest of that population.

Let people boost messages, not algorithms. Let people stop harassment, not algorithms.

And PAY the moderators and community leaders their due!
