    I don't understand the purpose of some selfhosting

    Jump

  • I came from a ~10 year old phone so FF5 was a big upgrade. Battery lasts the work day (may go from 80% to ~50% or ~30% mostly playing bluetooth audio for like 4 hours on and off). Fairphone uses some industrial chip instead of a mobile one - so it uses more power but they say it can get much longer updates than other phones. I usually have the screen set to 60Hz to save power, but a cheeky 120Hz session feels great. One bug is I can't charge it in power save mode.

    I got standard Android but replaced the proprietary store/apps (updates still requires Google Pain Store). I planned to try out an Android fork later but that's was not as easy as I had naively thought. [Requires an SDK binary that come with non-free license and 3rd party guides to build it myself were rather dead].

    I not aware it could run non-android OS - do you have exp installing a Linux phone OS? How did you find that? I'll have to look into FF5 compatibility.

  • Have you considered Fairphone 5? Might not compare to modern phones but it's very repairable.

  • Why look to a (oversized) stick to deal with behavior by some people that may be brought on by lack of responsibility? Consider carrots: rewards for good behavior.

    The internet is probably not worth losing privacy, which protects your freedom, anyway.

  • Wikipedia says "direct messages are offered though a central service". If that's was/still is correct then you're correct, it's centralized.

    Nuance is the friend of truth - pedantic.

  • Immich was alright once I had manually set every account to be "Partners" with every other account. I plan to set it up again once I get hardware for the server so I can easily backup images/video from my phone (while at home anyway).

  • It's not always obvious or easy to make what non-techies will find easy. Changes could unintentionally make the experience worse for long-time users.

    I know people don't want to hear it but can we expect non-techies to meet techies half way by leveling their tech skill tree a bit?

  • Techy people are a lot more likely to jump through hoops because that knowledge/experience makes it easier for them, they understand it's worthwhile or because it's fun. If software can be made easier for non-techy people and there's no downsides then of course that aught to be done.

  • I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.

    I admit I mostly give back to bigger players (e.g. my OS creator), and less so to those who are just starting off that don't see as much.

  • I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.

    I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it's too damn high.
