  • Reading the grant link from the OP - https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/results-2024-call-european-digital-reporting there's also a second project with ~2M eur which sounds like "Wero for journalism":

  • To mods: I know this reads like an ad (because it "is", but I'm just a reader, I'm not releated to them in any way, I just like what they do). It's a non-profit granted by the European Commission so I hope it's ok. Put me in secret CIA jail if not

  • Most used encrypted messenger besides Signal, Whatsapp, iMessage, and RCS?

  • For example, some people don't like that it's centralized. It's not like e-mail, where you can register with any provider and then cross-communicate. Moxie wrote more about this here

  • I switched to a feature phone that has nothing to do with Android for calling (Mocor RTOS aka S30+) because I'm tired of fighting Android for the moment. I keep an unrooted smartphone at home for online banking. Kinda extreme but that's one way.

  • DNS4EU now supports protective DNS resolution (ad filtering, child unfriendly domains etc.)

    Jump

  • Ah. I guess the functionality descriptions may not be up to speed since it's just entered testing - that's how they describe it in the e-mail I got from their newsletter (that it just entered testing). Here they say they don't apply legal filtering. So the domain the other poster mentioned could be added by mistake

  • dns0.eu is a French non‑profit organization founded in 2022 by Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey — co-founders of NextDNS.

    DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.

  • I have a t-shirt and a baseball cap from them. The t-shirt with the embroidery logo is a little thin, the blank t-shirt comes from Stanley & Stella. The baseball cap is from Atlantis Headwear - I like that it has a QR code on the tag where it shows that particular baseball cap's supply chain.

  • I think people wear NASA gear in Europe because it's the western default - the same way they wear Converse and Nike. Wearing ESA merch sprinkles European identity where you're used to seeing an American pop culture import. It almost feels like a play on a fashion trope - "you're used to people wearing NASA, but ha it's ESA!"

  • I wanted something that's more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy's advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it'd be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.

    E-ink smartphones like Mudita Kompakt seem pretty interesting, as the e-ink probably makes certain media unusable.

    Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don't use it, but I know it's important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.

    There's also something about escaping Android.

  • Unfortunately there's this post too: https://blog.bananahackers.net/farooqkz/on-the-state-of-kaios-and-bananahackers-community-as-of-summer-of-2023

    Many “council” members have lost interest in developing for KaiOS. Many have not and believe this OS will live on and cover a minority of the market

    But now, in 2023, this mobile Operating System seems to be on the verge of death. Not only KaiOS 3.0 is out but also KaiOS 3.1 is also out. But there is no device which is available worldwide. Only few carrier-locked devices for North America.

  • Here's a demo of the cloud youtube playing https://youtu.be/2VPQ_3SAKi0?t=85 It looks tolerably legible to me. Definitely OK for playing music or dunno, watching soccer recaps or tech videos

  • buy the cheapest smartphone from alibaba

    These feature phones are aimed at people living in countries who don't have this privilege. If all I could afford is a 20 EUR phone I'd be pretty happy with having the cloud apps that I normally couldn't be able to use. I'm sure that the executives at HMD don't ask themselves "are we not violating the definition of the dumbphone?", they're trying to make their product attractive to sell the most units. And apparently the ability to watch YT or check cricket scores (the cloud apps), and in the future maybe WhatsApp, are just that.

    Though yeah, my post is more about feature phones, not real dumbphones as I originally wrote in the title.

    also, how does it even run a web browser when the whole device has just 128 MB RAM. will the device crash if I load up facebook. com?

    The heavy lifting is offloaded to the servers ("cloud"), I think. The data you receive is how to draw the elements in the remote browser.

  • Props on USB-C vs proprietary. I currently own a Chinese Soocas brush that I bought only because it has USB-C. It's just so simple. No stupid proprietary magnetic system that stops charging due to copper contact points getting oxidized.
