Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?

Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I'm wondering about how efficient it is

An admin of this instance, Nutomic, is a transphobe and has no right to be able to ban trans people from this community.

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

New rule: if you support transgender people or are trans, please change your username (if your instance allows it) to include your preferred pronouns

If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.

/c/transgender is looking for trans AND socialist moderators

Hello, if you are transgender and socialist, please make an application below. We have lax requirements, I'm basically hoping to copy the success of Hexbear's trans community. Basic ideas of modding this space: * Rule with an iron fist. This is meant to be a safe place for transgender people. If someone is making that not happen / is fucking the vibes, they should be gone. * Purge transphobes on sight * No leftist infighting. Anarchists and communists can be friends * Suggest to cis and trans people that they change their username to include pronouns so no one misgenders them

Privacy marcie • 3mo ago • 94%

Is there a rundown of privacy frontend instances? Which ones are the most private?

I'm looking for ones that ideally don't log IP. Is there a guide somewhere that looks into each of these instances and whether or not they fulfill the privacy promise? I'm most interested in Invidious.

https://hexbear.net/post/2687582 I thought this poll and their previous trans poll were interesting. Blahaj also had a poll with about 40 responders.

Are there any maps apps that rip data from Google Maps?

I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information. Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?

Finally got bored enough to fix up that Trans Com Synthwave thing I made into a banner!

This can work as a community banner or a profile banner, I think. Here is the full sized version  Might end up making some other stuff similar to this at some point. Or maybe some cute trans cat cartoon stuff
