  • it's commercial software

    digital cancer

  • now I need to find a Wiimote, damnit

  • The fact that it was connected and downloading anything was the fault.

  • BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT

    Welp, clothes are done.

  • Because Android is ran by a capitalist corporation that spies on you 24/7 and seeks to restrict and control their platform.

    If I could make it convenient, I'd carry a flip phone and a laptop. I trust both far more than Google, and slightly more than GrapheneOS.

    Downvote all you like. I'm not telling any of you to do anything. You want security? Toss your phone out of a moving car and get a notebook.

  • In a court of law

    Lawsuits are won with money in the US. I'd lose before I walked into the courtroom. They'd be on script the entire time and rehearsed if the entire operation wasn't planned to make an example of someone to begin with.

  • From packet size, you can tell who's using wireguard, there are forks that alter and randomize this, but there's a good chunk of the pool.

    The human error problem. I've googled game isos and film names, I know. Someone can incriminate themselves without even needing torrents or a log.

    Let's say you're Mr. Knowitall, behind TOR, on your own relay, on a remote vps, remote Qbittorrent, vpn on a dedicated port, all wrapped up in security. You only search on a dedicated TailsOS install on a private vlan on unbound dns, over https, with selinux on top.

    Judge: "You downloaded 43TB of what, exactly?"

  • I agree, and I'm very much for an open Android fork. I think it is a path of less resistance than trying to hammer Linux's spherical bod into a square hole

    I have a Oneplus 6T. Linux phones feel like laptops, behave like laptops, and the apps? They're the same, nothing is made with vertical orientations in mind, and almost nothing you need for a phone is available outside of scant outliers.

    Even with being a complete music pirate with complete, Jafar-levels of control over my collection, I had access to two abandoned subsonic apps, Clementine(vertical, riiiight) and Jellyfin.

    Jellyfin on a desktop loads every image every single time it loads, and it does the same on mobile Linux, because it's the same app. On Android, it caches everything and sleeps itself.

    Multiply that by, every app you use.

    That's our workload for Mobile Linux.

  • One day you'll wake up to the news that Graphene is ending support at a certain Android version because they can't get sources.

    Your privacy depends on Google allowing Android to be open. It isn't anyone's decision but theirs.

    It ain't today. Relax.

  • It's just Android. You're as subject to this as anyone else is, if not moreso.

  • Modern flip phones can often tether.

    carry... TWO devices?! Like some kind of insane asshole!?

    the horror

  • We did it, Reddit!

  • Exactly how would this work? They just going start arresting trans people for existing?

    There's a dial under the hat of every ICE agent. They'll just turn it from "Latino" to "Trans".

  • Something tells me if we shared our seedbox's ip addresses, we'd see eachother in the wikipedia .zim pool, wouldn't we?

  • You're looking at it. You all know.

  • How 'far' left?

    Which left?

    The XMPP over TOR left?

    The SimpleX left?

    Have fun whiffing air, maga fuckwits. You can't see us to target us.

  • I haven't been shown a product worth buying since 2016.

    New game console? Its library is trash and your live service model only gets worse.

    New computer? For what?... to do what? Am4 loads Firefox up just as well as Am5.

    New car? Drive an Si, and it's from 2014, check back in 2034.

    I'm not buying a damn thing but clothes and food until something breaks. I'm not even politically motivated, I'm just piss-bored of Ai nothingburger products and aenemic hobby scenes because billionares own everything and they ground it all down to dust.

  • The end goal is to lower the barrier to entry so far that turning your phone on generates a video.

    Search for something? Your results are now a generated video explaining the topic, lol.

    Investors: cum buckets

    -- It's my hope that one day some influencer, Pewds, maybe, he's adjacent to the Fediverse these days with his Linux goings-on, gets so infuriated by Youtube that he decides to also release content on Peertube, maybe another notices, then another and another, and a few snowballs get rolling...

  • Almost no mestastic or reticulum nodes use raspberrypis outside of one or two outliers.

    .5 watts

    faaaar less

    The Rak and T114 boards are in the fraction of watt range. 10,000mah would last 1-2 months without the sun, and be fully charged in three to four days of sunlight.

    Reticulum and the like would benefit from normal networking hardware as they do provide a lan connection, but they can just as easily mesh together without it. Your server stack can be in a building with dedicated power while still sending packets to whoever miles away via the mesh. The mesh doesn't host, it just passes along.
