Check out the Picsart mobile app. It has some great features, even on the non-premium version.

It is pretty user-friendly.

The phone issue is tricky.

Opensource Android is a thing, but is dependent on jailbroken hardware.

Libre Phone and some others exist, but are pretty substandard, last time I saw. Time and money will probably fix this.

Shifting away from the conveniences of mobile is an obvious answer. Just run Linux on a PC. It would be nice to see Linux focus on usability for the masses, as it has some difficult barriers to entry.

Inconvenient tech is a hard sell, though, even in a slight way. Anyone can use a webapp on a phone, but people can't see past the playstore.

We need to do the work and explain to normies how they are being censored and why they should care. Edward Snowden would be rolling in his grave had the CIA been able to kill him 😆

I agree that these are examples of challenging situations.

Decentralized protocols are great censorship-resistant technologies. They safeguard freedom, but may not be able to provide it by themselves.

We should then be looking at what steps can be put in place to get N. Korea or Iran the smallest amount of freedom. Simple mesh networks, maybe? Or, maybe it will have to come from within to understand their specific needs. Could be that a revolution is necessary, and face-to-face info dissemination is appropriate.

We should also continue to build decentralized protocols, so that when countries, like the above, are ready, their little piece of freedom, it can be multiplied and protected.

Different countries are at different stages and need different tools at different times. But, they will need all the tools at some point. Humans will find a way to be free.

Capitalism is the free exchange of goods and services between individuals and private groups, where the means of production are privately owned, production is guided and income distributed through free markets.

Socialism calls for public ownership or control of property and natural resources, and that society collectively owns and distributes the profits of production.

Level of government and business structures are pretty irrelevant.

It comes down to do you own your property and can you do what you want with it (rent, sell, transform into a product)? Or, does the governemnt own the property and determine what you get.

Can't sleep either 😭😭😭

I save what I can, but that would never allow me to send my kids to college and for me to retire.

What should the poor do?

I havent had an issue with either.

Maybe add some relays or check that you are running the most current app version?

In your profile, below your info, scroll to the right on your tabs. You should see a zap tab that has the history of all the zaps you've received.

Or, go to notifications, and click the lightning bolt button at the top. It will show you a graph of your history for the day.

I use the AOSP keyboard that comes with Lineage.

I'll try the one you suggested.

Thank you!
