I don’t necessarily think it’s too late. There will be a niche that someone/some entity will settle into for us privacy minded folk. Hopefully that niche gets beefy processors and extra ram fr fr

Saved, thanks chief!

Eternal September

Indian food is so great <3 keep making some :)

And to think that’s what my fucking taxes are paying for. Anticompetitive lock in baked into a churn and burn the proletariat pie

I’m surprised that open source technology isn’t used at American universities. My local university only has proprietary software which I guess makes sense because of industry standards, but the reality is learning on open source will be more beneficial in the long run.

Can you explain xmpp? I’d like a federated discord replacement buddy if you could show me the way I’d greatly appreciate it :)

This is the best news. It’s one thing for AI to assist, it’s another to replace. Fuck em

If it would scale to enterprise level that’s a game changer. It would lead to Linux just clobbering the pc market space.

I’m forced into Office suite at my work and I have to fight it.

That absolutely astounds me but your right. Especially crazy considering at any point something could happen to your internet then you’re fucked.

That’s great to hear. It’s a nice little program suite for at home, and I hope one day it can compete against Google/Microsoft’s offerings

Sick

Very clean!

Features that are not so great: “This app redirects to data gathering services” stuff like that

I’m gonna have to try this out. Looping is such a useful way to make songs

I honestly don’t want to be federated with Threads or any social media giant. I really enjoy the organic discussion and lack of advertisements in fediverse compared to a strong amount of paint by numbers discourse/ads ads ads on the standard social media

So these noname boxes are good for making a hardware firewall/network?

I don’t know if a phone that uses the open source version as base. Usually they build off open source or google and add in all the manufacturer/carrier bloat. For me to get off One Plus’s built in OS I had to go through this whole process on their website to get the code to unlock the boot loader.

I have lineage os as a replacement and it’s really cool. My mobile internet stopped working on it though :( my next phone is gonna roll with Graphene

It’s a valid point, but unfortunately your non bullshit options are limited to replacing the OS with something like Graphene or Lineage.

The powers that be REALLY want your data.

I gotta say that even though it’s not for me, I’m glad this device exists!
