  • Agreed, the prices for Android are much better when non-US tariffs are involved.

  • Premium Android phones are just as expensive as iPhones and come with worse software quality and shorter support periods.

  • Yeah, the mythical Samsung phone that still gets six years of manufacturer OS updates

  • Generally, the hardware in a small, power-efficient, SoC embedded device is going to be a lot more particular and a lot less general than your gaming computer’s motherboard. It’s harder to write general OS software for specific integrated systems rather than a big set of chips which provide an individual chip for the BIOS, specialized chips for the PCI ports, etc., all of which have become more standardized over time.

  • People who harass other people to suicide don’t deserve to communicate freely. They have shown they are not responsible with that right.

  • I think that was also a bad thing to do.

  • The EFF is going to bat for fucking Kiwifarms? This is unconscionable.

  • I think you’re assuming a lot about what I’m doing here. In this case, I wanted to rename the community to move an emoji and make it more consistent with the other similar communities on our server.

  • I’m the owner and admin of the instance, and sometimes there are tidying/housekeeping tasks I need to do with user-created communities.

  • As a workaround, I was able to sign in as a second admin user, go to a post/comment I made in the community, and assign myself moderator through the ... menu.

  • The app stores already know.

  • It’s probably the AudioData API.

  • Networking two machines is easy; networking several with good onboarding and DNS is not as easy.

  • Tailscale is a nice way to set up a private network between your machines. It’s perfectly fine.

  • I’m not denying that Mozilla has a history of poor governance. But they are the competitor to Google here. You need to consider these things in context to understand what anti-corporate means for the internet.

  • It absolutely matters. We need to consider that a right-wing actor is likely to exaggerate claims against an organization that is ostensibly socially-minded and represents anti-corporate interests, like Mozilla.

  • I do enough of this in the day job. I don’t have time to mess around with free hosting to save $20 a month.

  • Oracle is all fun and games until they lose your instance’s IP or data and don’t give it back because you’re a free tier freeloader.

  • Full disk encryption is something you really want to have when your computer is lost or stolen.
