But… This is a good thing. I will take it. More FOSS awareness is great news. As long as it sticks.

They are missing one hat. Just saw it being made today, on TikTok. Literally, off the press, as it were.

Wow, had not seen this one. Some good talent is going into these.

Billionaires from both political sides do the same thing. Neither side has clean hands.

For example: Via a group called WaytoWin.

Good on them. The use of AI in military applications conveniently gets next to 0 coverage both in these type of events and also in the general news media.

Same with drone warfare. Which should terrify us all. Imagine a swarm of 30-50 drones with small explosives attacking some public event? Hell. Even jist a couple. Sadly. It will happen one day, sooner than we think.

Good stuff.

Uh, FreshRSS coupled with Wallabag? Or Nextcloud?

Likewise, brother. But at the current rate, we are still a few years away. :-(

Oh man, you got me there.

Oh, hell no.

True. For war plans use Tinder, or maybe Pinterest.

Exactly. :-/

They didn’t capitulate. They were mostly faking it all along, friend. It made for good profit at the time and to get good Blackrock or Vanguard investment money. This is why despite putting rainbows in X, or FB, or YT, or LinkedIn profiles in the USA or in some Western countries, no company ever did that in any profile outside the West. It was all for show… and money. If they actually believe it they would have done so across the board. Yet they didn’t. They were just hoping most people wouldn’t notice. Many did. There was a meme RE: this floating around from years ago, too.

Of course, they learned to code.

He said it was an affront to life itself.

I agree. Albeit there are some advantages, of course, I am 100% certain that in the aggregate, it will make people more stupid and gullible.

It is sort of obvious when you engage with the thought, and seek it to its natural conclusion:

You don’t, neither do I. why the hell are they pushing this?

It the jingling of the keys that may sound good to some investors?

Was in the market for a new phone and was thinking of getting the latest Pine phone, and upon research, I found that like others have stated, it is more of a piece of kit to tinker with and not a daily driver. The OS is still being baked and at the current rate it might take a few years before it is as responsive and as useful as Android is day in, and day out. There is just no contest. Which was a bit disappointing as I actually though the OS was far more developed.

I do hope that progress is made, but, if you need a phone that works well, then stick with Android for now. Hardware on latest Pine is better than on the first phone but still Mid, at best, and it is not cheap for the hardware you get.
