maybe he can counteract with a sneeze?

oh I got what you meant, that sucks :( Maybe try android emulator like the other commenters mentioned.

it’s awesome that she has those phones btw. I tried looking for one like that but no luck.

Anw, alternatively maybe y’all can try Matrix? It has E2EE I believe for chat rooms as well. Has multiple different phone + desktop apps. Most straightforward is Element/ElementX.

Another option also recommended by privacyguides besides signal is SimpleX Chat (never used it). Looks like there’s CLI for desktop if she’s comfortable with it.

Oh I didn’t know of those exceptions. Do you know of any others so I, among others, need to keep in mind when we post/use bots for archive links?

What do/can journals like SF Chronicle do to people anyway, especially on sites like Lemmy or Reddit where users are technically semi-anonymous?

ask every culture

even though I’m pretty sure that’s a rhetorical question, I’m just gonna answer anyway, that it’s not practical.

I think with the internet and all, cultures will interact, clash, sometimes merge, change, mutate. It’s really hard to keep track of everything. I believe that it’s important to keep this in mind, to continue learning while still maintaining sensitivity, empathy and tolerance towards one another.

In this context of language and appropriation, I believe people should be open to learn, but not necessarily expected to always know, about the contexts and use of a potential controversial choice of words or language. At the same time, we should be empathetic to each other, no one knows everything, so help each other instead of berating and isolating one another.

There may be some notions that are really specific to a very small minority. Simultaneously, similar concepts and ideas may arise independently across the world from different cultures throughout different times in history. Sometimes, they are “born” due to culture interactions as well. Due to such complexity, instead of being too defensive or offensive, maybe it’s better if we are a bit tolerable when we can. Don’t always assume the worst. Continue to educate ourselves and have patience to educate others.

Yeah, I agree, my bad, just edited it. Do you know whether the concept/word of spirit animal exists in only a small subsets of Native American cultures, or in all cultures related to Native Americans?

privacy limitations from github:

Read Before Using!

As of right now, WrangleBot is still in development. This means that there are some limitations to what WrangleBot can do.

These limitations are as follows:

• WrangleBot Cloud Sync does not yet utilize end-to-end encryption to protect your data, but uses TLS-Encryption to communicate and send data between you and the cloud sync servers. This means that your data is encrypted while it is in transit, but not while it is stored on the cloud sync servers.

We are committed to addressing these limitations and implementing new features as soon as possible. We are also committed to protecting your data and privacy. We will never sell your data to third parties, and we will never use your data for any other purpose than to provide you with the best possible experience with WrangleBot. Please review our data privacy policy here for more information.

Anyway, this looks interesting regardless. There seems to be an offline mode, so I assume this is selfhostable? What’s the backend of AI here? And are both the bot and the AI part self-hostable?

did the people who quit get reasonable severance packages? If so, were they reasonable compared to if they had been laid off?

omg that is lovely. Kinda like https://regex101.com/ for regular expressions.

“rambling digressions of thought”

I never felt so connected lol

I think what and how it is used for or interpreted as should be a factor to determine whether it is appropriation of Native American culture.

I’m not a native english speaker, and often times the term in my mind can mean zodiac animals. I’m not saying they are the same thing. English is a common language, and people from other cultures may interpret the word differently.

Hence I sometimes wonder whether there are other cultures across the world that use similar terms (eg totem symbolism), or whether such term can mean different things to other cultures. A blanket ban of the specific combination of these two words in english based on ~~one~~ some cultures may seem unfair to others if this is true. If anyone knows or has issues with the logic, please correct me.

EDIT: see the discussion in the comments https://lemm.ee/comment/1954510

EDIT 2: per below comment, Native American shouldn’t be treated as 1 culture.

If her push button phone is android, maybe she can download it. But anyway, Signal can be used on desktop (Mac, Linux, Win) https://signal.org/download/
