I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.

Being installable directly from fdroid was what made me use it.

Quite funny how that’s true for the software side, but on the hardware side, geeky people (especially on the foss side) are the ones running things until they accumulate failures to a point that no workarounds will do any good anymore.

All those numbers will happen at the same time, at different proportions.

You’re right, and if we think about it, companies are well aware of that, and that’s why they don’t care for offering anything beyond the basic and walled experience, because we will buy anyway.

You will lose interest in the market, but will keep buying? Did I misunderstand something?

I’m also using jerboa and got no issues

Do chatbots provide accurate and safe instructions for all steps? Or will it mix different instructions for different scenarios?

According to the site, home routers and dvrs were part of the devices used. Looks like manufacturers abandoning devices without updates is becoming more and more of an issue.

Do your firewall rules allow you to block your tv’s telemetry, while allowing you to still use the internet on it? If so, would you mind sharing how you did it?

Your 32gb can do a lot and will still let you do a lot for a reasonable timeframe. No need to worry.

this situation reminds me of this interesting study: https://www.eoblab.com/_files/ugd/06b6e1_2e2b75f5053f40729dea921c758b8fec.pdf

Some time ago, I looked at kaios devices, and they looked really cool. I only didn’t get one because I need to use some banking apps only available for android

Perhaps it’s part of some effort to counter the bad reputation ai has been getting on the high energy demands? I grew up to be doubtful of any seemingly inoffensive news article out there

What a really interesting initiative. I will try to contribute some things in their repo.

I already know a few people who were just marginally digitally literate, and now they can’t read things like news articles and access several kinds of services anymore, unless someone helps them, because they don’t property know how to close invasive popups and solve captchas.

The internet is literally becoming unusable for some people.

What’s the methodology behind your estimation? How can you, for example, take an estimate of carbon emitted per mb, when the network infrastructure can vary a lot depending on your geographic location and what service you’re using?

That’s another thing companies don’t seem to understand. A lot of them aren’t creating new products and services that use ai, but are removing the existing ones, that people use daily and enjoy, and forcing some ai alternative. Of course people are going to be pissed off!

So true. I’d complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can’t even know some pinout schema without trial and error.
