Can I use a seedbox to host videos for peertube?

Well you’re just asking an economic question, are the costs worth the benefits?

I’d argue that linux will never be a good or user friendly operating system without case insensitive filenames.

That isn’t an opinion but could be verified through scientific study of how confused people act. You don’t even need computers, just ask someone to get the “something SomeTHing” from a labeled box in a cupboard. Presumably science would show that case insensitive naming of things is always less confusing when humans actually use the system.

The truth is that programmers enjoy writing code far more than reading code. And especially to open source developers “usability” is a dirty word. It’s not about the value of a thing, it’s about the beauty of how it is done.

You’re basically arguing that a system shouldn’t support user friendly things because that would add significant burden to the programmer.

The quintessential linux philosophy. Well done! I mean, what is language? Why have named code variables? This is just a random array of bytes!

But does it have unicode emojis?

Hmm it specifically seems to be missing emojis

Yeah if you have nothing to hide, what is the problem with spying?!

What’s wrong with Signal: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/why_not_signal.md

TLDR: Funded by the CIA, centralized in the US and phone numbers make you personally identifiable.

F-Droid doesn’t have e.g. organic maps because it’s against their religion or something.

Just tried it. Compared to OsmAnd it’s very easy to use.
But only seems to have vector and offline maps.

this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?

yes, thats the one. It’s relatively new, and the new default app store in GrapheneOS.

Can it use github like Obtainium does?

I wish there was an “app app” that is just a curated list of app name, description, link to github / other git / fdroid rep / download link, ratings. Could be a formatted markdown fie. Have forks of this list that different people can extend and you can subscribe to different trusted curators with something like version control. Ideally P2P without a central server. Why is it so complicated?

Maybe the EU should pass some regulations that require hardware manufacturers to open source the drivers for power saving on linux?

How is the situation for modern desktop hardware like Intel 12000 series or AMD? Is there any problems there? I’d like to build a low power desktop PC with linux that can still game.

I imagine just using metadata you can look for people who are discontent, then provides list of those people to the opposition to contact and mobilize them and get them to protest.

Or target them with stories and bots to turn them into a revolutionary force, but that would be more useful for social media networks instead of signal.

Yeah, they failed to communicate it. Which people chose to interpret in the most uncharitable way. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” - Hanlon’s razor

Misconceptions about Firefox’s Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement – Andrew Moore

Of course people who complain about this loudly are most likely people who block all ads and tracking anyway so it doesn’t even affect them. My ideal would be the total ban of all advertising. Then let the free market sort it out lol.

Are there any banks that support FIDO2 in Europe already? I’m so sick of SMS or other shenanigans.

I don’t have a phone that supports any of the foss android versions but I have been making due without a google account and free app stores (f-droid + obtainium which is great). That will have to do. I’d love much better privacy but it is too much work. I also do relatively little with my smartphone.
