Hey USians, fuck tipping ‘culture’, keep it the fuck away from the rest of the world (looking at you DoorDash or whatever, I don’t use it, but I see default software obviously from the US because basically everywhere else just pays servers etc.) That’s what you get for killing unions.

Rest of the world, stay strong, never tip via app especially, never tip. Perhaps have a bit of cash on hand for truly exceptional cases, but know you’re doing the right thing not tipping long term. Fuck tipping.

My understanding is you need a specific kernel, which likely limits your choices somewhat (dunno, don’t have one, but that seems like a good place to start). Seems totally doable though.

These American style utes are ridiculous and should be banned.

These things only exist because of one of the US’s worst laws in recent history exempting ‘trucks’ from emission standards and turned into a dick waving contest and perceived weapons escalation race on public roads.

Get 'em the fuck off our roads.

Skerton is good for a backup and camping / traveling and the like.

Plenty are running home servers from laptops

Usually highly energy efficient as well.

Still honestly not a pleasant experience to get it to run from what I recall.

Who hurt you, was it windows ? (mostly joking)

Micro SD card tray

removed for profit motive pushing you to cloud ongoing revenue (much as I want it, wierdly Sony XPeria is the holdout of the mains here, I guess for music). A script or two can fix that by cycling content through what you have.

Likely the last, likely there’s a rugpull (they can chose to stop providing security updates), but as advertised good for 7 years! gOS is a worthy aspiration, I’m thinking of updating, don’t want anything else until, and if, linux phone happens.

Why wouldn’t they?

Possible sure, easy unlikely, knowing you got all the backdoors (for allies), nigh impossible. Only way to be sure is to clean room it from the ground up, not jailbreak.

You jest but USGov already owns 10% of Intel, the seal’s been cracked, and it’d be a suitably fascist move.

Boo, no engine in it… Thanks though.

Apropos for the metaphor however.

Ah, my bad, down to might be interesting I guess.

If you want to do it right, have a look at podlet (docker to podman quadlet converter), should get you 90% of the way there.

Pretty sure RAM and C/GPU use different fabs (and wafers) thankfully. If some fuck goes and corners the market of CPU wafers we’re all doomed. The RAMpocalypse is actually likely to free up processor fab space if it prices phones such as they sell less.

Of course the margin on AI compute will be better, so suck it consumers.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Wadda ya want, revolution ? Hmm…

Normally my policy is “E2EE or GTFO”, but the concept only applies to a subset of Discord use cases. A good Discord alternative needs to handle the same variety of use cases as Discord.

E2EE for a public forum makes no sense.

Totally valid point, especially w.r.t. ease of onboarding for public usecases. Sure would be nice if it functioned (optionally) as a private forum as well. Seems like a lot of commonality there and covers the DM case and the ‘semi-public’ but discord is totally logging everything case. One can hope, but I agree, first things first.

Perhaps I’m missing something, or perhaps everyone who thinks Matrix is a good substitute for Discord just don’t use Discord very much.

Seems likely, certainly Matrix has some pretty evangelical supporters. I think you nailed it with discord being more useful for mid sized numbers and having a client that handles it pretty well. I’d also add pretty painless onboarding. An OSS offering that matched it’s primary features (and has E2EE) or has a good framework, roadmap and people to get there would come in pretty clutch as discord goes public and starts monetizing everything in sight. A million (or thousands) independent FOSS ‘discords’ in the night would be a sweet sight.
