This isnt news tho, its been banned for years.

I dont know why this is even still a discussion. Bluesky is, intentionally or not, a bad actor that specifically used the empty promise of decentralization to sell the platform to techie people.

When they inevitably go bad in a few years (they kind of already did but thats another topic) there wont be any servers large enough to migrate millions of users to, so their supposed decentralization is entirely ineffective.

It showed a 6000€ card as the first result…

Thats a bit of a tough search tho ngl. Does it have to be a recent generation card? Is used okay?
I think its smarter to just go directly to ebay if all you need is some piece of shit card that can output pixels to a monitor.

https://www.ebay.de/itm/165290037082 this one is 15€ and only has DVI but there are similar ones with HDMI

Your name sounds german so here ya go limited to 30€ max https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_nkw=amd+passive+gpu&_sacat=0&_udhi=30&rt=nc

The only countries where nationality equals race are ethno states like Israel and even there its not 100% ethnic jews. Everywhere else you will just have a mixed random mess.

A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub

Yeah and “but other people are doing it” is not a valid excuse lol

I will continue to point it out as long as people keep recommending it. Its not a minor complaint or a small point of disagreement, its a complete deal breaker that makes the platform worthless to invest any time in. No matter how much time passes it will always be a shit platform as long as its centralized.

Also bluesky isnt part of the fediverse so this doesnt even really belong in here…

Just ignore the whole article. This is all you need to read.

some of the alleged pickpockets have turned the tables

Its literally NOT pickpockets. Garbage clickbait. Its just random people, that have been dragged through the mud with no legal process, that are defending themselves.

I like long girthy vegetables with some bumps on them.

Does that answer both questions?

This kinda thing? https://forum.fairphone.com/t/operating-systems-for-fairphones/11425

At the moment im still running CalyxOS on my FP4 because the issue i mentioned in my last comment was announced fairly recently.
If development on CalyxOS continue i would very much recommend it above all the other options.

If i decide to switch im gonna be trying out Ubuntu Touch for the first time soon. Ubuntu touch is a custom linux based OS that comes with waydroid which allows the device to run android apps in a sandbox. I havent tested this yet but from what i have seen it seems pretty nice.

For all the android ROMs (most of them being based on LineageOS) one important thing to consider is if they do OTA (over the air = self installing) updates. Some ROMs dont do this so you would have to manually flash updates through a computer+cable.

Some more info about LineageOS forks here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LineageOS#Forks

Im sure there are plenty of abbreviations people make up for their disorders. While one person might be okay with it, others might see it as a slur of sorts. I worked with someone with down syndrome that called himself and his similarily affected friends “downies” but you can be fucking sure as hell that others might be very offended by that.

I guess you could create “official” abreviations somehow, but even those would not be accepted by everyone i am sure.

So there is a bit of a situation going on rn…

Google is going evil mode on locking down android devices to disallow sideloading. I think its fair to assume that this might end up also affecting bootloader unlocking for future pixel devices and even future firmware versions for older devices.

That being said i would generally not recommend pixels anyways because they are just not very repairable. Not having a swappable battery or even an SD card slot is just a hard blocker for me.

Fairphones are not cheap but also not super expensive, if bought used, so if thats an option for you then i would go for that. A used FP5 goes for ~400€ or less if you get lucky. The FP6 just came out so the 5 dropped in price.

In terms of OS, only pixels support GrapheneOS but i assume you knew that already. The Fairphones are supported by LineageOS, e/os, Ubuntu Touch and more. Until recently i would have recommended CalyxOS but the development on that has been paused until further notice so its not a good idea.

Hope that answered some of your questions :)

This… makes no sense to me. Almost by definition, an AI vendor will have a datacenter full of compute capacity.

Well it doesnt fucking matter what “makes sense to you” because it is working…
Its being deployed by people who had their sites DDoS’d to shit by crawlers and they are very happy with the results so what even is the point of trying to argue here?

Thanks for the fix :)

No the didnt… but its still bad.

I dont think there are any valid technical insecurities. Its just a TLD like any other. The issue is just that people might get confused by it and that could be used for phishing stuff.

I gotta admit reason No. 1 is “because why not”. It was a fun project that i learned lots from.

2 is modularity. If i want to be able to easily upgrade or modify the fundamental parts of the system, this makes it super easy. Even with a 2000€ framework which is the king of modularity, you cant just get a completely different display or a battery twice the size.

3 is price. This whole setup cost me like 300-350€ which is a good price even if you bought a used laptop.

I havent actually looked at the battery life of other devices so idk how it compares. Without the screen this bundle has ~40-50h battery life. With the screen its around 8-10h which is more than enough imo. For like 40€ i could buy a powerbank twice the size and double that.

Weight is also pretty good with around 1.4kg for everything. The screen is a metal frame one that weight 1kg but there are also plastic frame ones that weight 500g which would get it to 900g in total. If i add a wireless keyboard and mouse then its gets a bit heavier again of course.

The biggest downside at the moment with this kind of thing is firmware/OS support. The orangpi support is not amazing. Using a custom OS called ubuntu-rockchip its working pretty well overall and has things like hardware acceleration working so it runs most normal applications just fine, but suspend is not working for example. Watching videos is basically the most intensive thing you can still do on this thing, but all the basic stuff works fine.

I somehow missed the part where you said that you already own the book. You should definitely just pirate the pdf, there is nothing wrong with that when you already own it.

Dont worry, only the cover is low resolution, the rest is nice and crisp. Even the internal references are working.

Yuup. “security by obscurity” relies on the attacker not understanding how software works. Problem is, hackers usually know how software works so that barrier is almost non existent.

I live in Germany. For the moment, i do not require a phone for anything in my life. I use it as an nfc card reader for my ID, but there are usb readers that could replace that. All other things also would continue working without a phone. Email, matrix, osm, music all work on a laptop. I actually have this orangpi + powerbank + usbc touchscreen setup that works basically like a laptop. I could add a sim card module to it too.

“Nothing at all” would mean not being well informed about politics and i think that has moral implications i could not live with. I think “computer only + time limit” is a good idea.
