They all use the base package from the chipset vendor. It only supports android and only for a given number of years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the license was massively invasive.

Basically, there’s no drivers and no documentation for most mobile hardware outside of manufacturer contracts.





Would be nice if fairphone was in talks of making sure that adequate hardware will be in next version. That would benefit both projects even if they didn’t offer official support.

I’ll guessing the problem will be the chipset vendor.


Except for alpaca and llama.cpp and some other options.


Fdroid probably needs funding, too. And it’s not a neverheard.


Although the apps come preinstalled and unremovable on many phones.



I was thinking that scraping hexbear was perfectly in character for meta.


Also, there’s no reason they wouldn’t wrench you no matter what you gave them.



IRC doesn’t handle being disconnected. That’s why matrix has essentially replaced it


Yeah, it was a long shot. Hoping that it would highlight the toxic stupidity of that kind of wannabe gansta memes.


Iirc just reading proton’s own stories page showed that they keeled over for any and presumably every request that came their way.




I think you can ask duck for sources or links each time you want them, but it would make some sense for a search engine in particular to give the links in any case.


Brave is a series scam company.


Still claiming WA messages are e2ee? The MITM is even paraphrasing the content back to you.


I think that “mental illness” kind of comments would come from people whose attitude for safety in many aspects of life is “that’s never going to happen (to me)”. Those people exist, so sooner or later you’ll see comments like that.

On the other hand everybody is trying to find a balance in convenience and safety and the situations and environments and life on general for one person can be quite different from that of some others’. So what’s adequate for one won’t be for another.

It’s like PPE or personal finance or many other things. There’s no one size that fits all and finding the right fit isn’t easy. For a lot of us it’s work in progress. Sometimes you know what’s definitely needed and tweak the details. Sometimes you know something is not going well and needs to change.

Maybe it’s enough to say that it’s complicated and have some compassion and support for people that think it isn’t. Or people that think it’s all too much to handle.



That’s almost always false unless the hardware is faster and thus more power hungry and hot than your CPU. That’s rarely true. Some fpga accelerator? Maybe. GPU/TPU? Sure. Your hard drive? Not a chance that it would have even remotely competitive processor.

The point of hardware acceleration is usually that your CPU doesn’t need to do a task so there’s less CPU load and it can spend that time running applications or respond faster.



Try the “switch instance” link on one of them?




Spam and other attacks did happen. And it doesn’t really handle being mobile or disconnected without some sort of proxy. Among other things.

It’s still there, but withered and infested. Kind of like Usenet and real email.



Writing is a really good tool for slowing down. Handwriting even more so.


Microsoft wants GPG/PGP dead and if it isn’t in outlook, corporate won’t use it and if corporate don’t use it, there’s no business incentive for services either.







I think searx is using POST or something, which means you can’t bookmark searches, they’re broken in history, and if when you restart a browser, your search tabs get completely lost.

It’s been the worst search UI I’ve seen in the nearly 30 years I’ve used web searches.

Still use it, because of the alternatives.
