Twitter uses top posting.

Twitter threading does not make any sense to me.

People don’t have to compile their own kernel to benefit from FOSS. Their phone can run the Linux kernel and the services they use run on FOSS. The more stuff based on FOSS they use the less license fees and RnD they subsidize. Imagine if you had to pay for every FOSS instance you use. Linux kernel, ffmpeg, openssl, docker, WebKit, mySQL and whatever, the same way you pay for GSM or ARM trustzone or console-like-platform-tax

Yeah I remember once when my friends Synology started acting harmful when he run jellyfin on it. it started off gasing mustard gas. It poisoned the well and made his son addicted to zyns. All of the cars in his neighborhood needed new batteries. The country’s GTP dropped a lot that month and the ozone layer is gone. Thank God YouTube stopped platforming such harmful content. Too bad so luch damage has already been done.

When apple pay became a thing (and gov wallet app soon after) my distilled wallet had three bank cards and 1 ID.

My phone wallet now has 10 bank cards, gov ID, drivers license and 4 loyalty cards and 1 transit related info card.

You didn’t give me a specific example, you made me look it up. And when I looked it up I found a tweet with a wrong prediction that he said was wrong 10 days later.

Insulting me is not gonna change my opinion or anyone who reads this. Backing up your claims with something more than “look it up” maybe will.

Sorry but having to carry a wallet is a big trade-off for me. I would give up a lot of data for the convenience I have been enjoying for years of not carrying a single card.

What messaging, what are you talking about? He has been laying low for years. His latest interview was Jan31 and the only relevant thing is him denying working for Russia

Do you have any articles to back up “folding like an lawn chair”,“routinely promoting messaging supportive of Russian imperialism”,“spreading falsehoods”

Here is how you do it: Here is an article about Snowden criticizing Russian government. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sheerafrenkel/is-edward-snowden-trying-to-get-vladimir-putins-attention

So show us his “messaging” that is" directly aligned with russian security services and their key propaganda narratives". If he is promoting Russian propaganda you can find at least tweet that applies, right?

How did Snowden openly supported Russian genocidal imperialism?

Snowden is often criticizing Russian government and has shown no signs of working for them. Him being in Russia is because he is hunted by USA. If anything russia is supporting snowden

I am so considering starting to experiment with an Linux phone. But it will be a long time until it can do contactless payments, bank apps, safe biometrics and heavy apps. Now that I think about it,it shouldn’t be impossible.

I saw a gif around here some time ago. A woman was walking with their kids. When the walked passed a car ready to unpark the kid ducked in front of it. No warning, no logic, just suicide attempt.

I don’t remember vista being bad because of the translucency

Enshittification is inevitable for all free services (services as in with a server component). Thankfully the functions of tailscale are open source so until enshittification actually happens I will be happy with using a a useful but VC funded project. When I am not willing to make the trade off anymore I will use headscale or some other drop in replacement.

Yeah and steam is closed source DRM platform. Great software sometimes is worth the trade off.

That would be cellular to wifi tethering. How can someone expect to have cellular internet without a sim.

Is OP trying to use his phone as an routerless wifi access point? That would be a crazy edge case. And it still wouldn’t be tethering.

What kind of tethering?

“on the next scene we have Patton and Spock. One is doing the high five-oops-now-down-low-oops-too slow and the other doesn’t get it, because he is a Vulcan.”

“Good thing we have a world class comedian, wait why are you putting Vulcan ears on him? We cast Patton Oswald as a Vulcan??”

I have used 3 different ERPs and every one is worse than the other. I am almost curious enough to try dynamics to see what kind of flavor of ERP BS has Microsoft managed to produce

Are you really asking?

I agree completely with what you’ve said. Your perspective is thoughtful, well-reasoned, and aligns with my own understanding. It’s refreshing to see such clarity, and I support your view without hesitation. You’ve made an excellent and persuasive point overall.
