Insert Simpsons Nelson haha here

Honestly, why would I spend thousands on a framework, when I can spend 3x less or more, with a used thinkpad, that is already fairly repairable?

If I was rich, sure, I’d buy a framework in a heartbeat, but am not rich, yet . . . . . . .

I’m more and more leaning to this solution. I only have a 8GB phone data plan, and refuse to waste any of it on my recreational music listening, nor will I ever see the need for paying for more mobile data.

My next phone needs a microsd slot, I miss them so much!

odd, jackbox works without issue with both Proton experimental via steam/lutris or proton-ge over the past year or so for me

I’ll see what I can do!

Guy said the USA is shithole country, if I ever visit Australia, I’m buying you dinner lmfao

Thanks for sharing this, the fiction is astoundingly horrifying yet vital in timeliness.

A linux bicycle sounds like a cool project! I’ve been wanting to add a mini a pc to my bike, to track trips and display important navigational information, but to connect to my local home server rather than some black box service.

still have no idea how they will implement this, with phones that can be rooted or running something like lineageOS or others.

But in any case, I am glad I am not from the US.

Not surprising . . . . .and this still does nothing to help domestic network device production in the US, since Netgear outsources their manufacturing to Taiwan.

Microslop - since 2014, initiating slow but controlled flight into terrain!

I know eveything in France is not sunshine and rainbows, but come on, cheap high speed internet, fantastic pedestrian infrastructure, great social welfare program, and now linux being adopted by the government?

France seems pretty cool to me

And this is why I use an android based ereader. Something as simple as displaying words on a screen shouldn’t be held back by the will of any company.

Thats the kicker. I really want to move away from Youtube. Many are fine with just blocking ads, but its not rocket science to host a video over the internet.

Peertube seems like it can one day be great, but its currently just not popular enough, and its sad, because everyone talks about ditching google, except when it comes to youtube.

would WPA3 and pre-shared keys not be enough? If every endpoint is scanning for malware, using host based firewalls, monitoring access logs and activity, it could be possible no?

You know, i think i might learn how to set up ad hoc networks to prepare for this sort of thing. I know its essentially wartime there now, but without internet, its harder to transmit the truth from the eyes of the civilians. Fucking sucks whats happening there. Repressive government, but filled with people who simply want a life free of the conflict, the endless battles, various ethnic groups simply wanting freedom from those who have invaded and partitioned their people.

This cant end well. . .

Yes, because I won’t be using their distribution.

fuck the authority, chaining down anything digital because the law is far behind the relative breakneck speed of technological progress.

I agree, and neither do I have all the answers. It is worth exploring, I’m just pessimistic most of the time.

Broad? Is youtube not social? Facebook? Tik-tok? Forums like reddit or lemmy, where people communicate directly, abiding by social norms and etiquette?

The internet and it’s myriads of networks is all information relayed globally via copper, fibre and radio waves. Never did I say that the internet itself is a social network.
