Are you mixing up privacy, security, and anonymity? Don't worry, it's more common than you might think! In this week's video we break down each term, so you can make educated decisions on what tool...

Ok but that contradicts your previous comment

The mass protests against Threads leads me to believe that is actually the opposite of the truth.

GSConnect also works for Gnome.

why not welcome competitive form factors
My question is whether it's competitive. Because it looks like a gimmick to me. The other options seem to have a lot more choices and options.
Plus IceWhale sold my information so I don't trust them.

Yeah there was a 8000 series.
Scroll down to "processor specifications" then over to 8000

Yeah that's what I thought 😞

Why wouldn't you just buy one of the plethora of existing Mini PCs?

I don't have another drive.

There's no need to link me to my own comments. I did not.

No, where am I supposed to sync the data to?

Aren't those for syncing data, not migrating data?

Can you migrate Synology data? I haven't ever found a way.

Most everything. It's also very complicated to use and slow as shit. You should try actually using it and find out for yourself.

There's also a written version:

...did they lose already?

I don't think they're great at all. I'm only on the board to avoid getting fucked. If I could abolish it I would.
That's all besides the point. You cannot have a voluntary HOA. It's completely pointless. No one is going to choose to subject themselves to the rules when no one else has to...

Well that lines up with what I said.

Not even close.

We weren't talking about dividends

"customers" meaning the communities?

Why doesn't Steam support Android?
Steam revenue estimated 2024: $10.8B
Google Play Store gaming revenue 2024: ~$31B
Why doesn't Valve want a part of that? I mean they already have an Android app. Several, actually. I realize there's some amount of investment but surely the payoff is worth it, and they have the necessary funds and skills? I mean if F-Droid can do it with nothing but volunteers and grants...?
Certainly plenty of games won't lend themselves well to the mobile experience but also plenty of them do.
From a personal perspective: I don't really care a whole lot for mobile games but I do like Balatro and want to play it on my phone, but if I want to do that I have to buy another license, which I can't even do because I don't run Google Play Services.
Epic got in on this already. Where's Valve?
Edit: my reflections on this conversation:
Valve could distribute their own app like Epic but they'd also probably have to remove it from the Play Store because now a cross-platform game would give them an An

Is anyone there!?
This seems like a super useful app with almost no community around it. I can't seem to find very much information at all anywhere. Someone add me: briar://acqllat453fdlhu6vgmjeslxuize2ms55iswqqkt4s7qi2pyhuwt6

Icewhale (Zimaboard, CasaOS, etc) selling or leaking user data


A few days ago I noticed a marketing email sent to my Zima alias. Apparently lots of other people also noticed this and were not happy. Attached is the IceWhale response.

GrapheneOS claims "greatly overhauled" desktop mode coming soon to Pixel 8 and up
Android has a greatly overhauled desktop mode on the way to replace the current primitive proof of concept in developer options. 6th gen Pixels added hardware-based virtualization support and 8th gen Pixels added USB-C DisplayPort alternate mode. It will all come together soon.

Overhauled desktop mode is already partially shipped as a disabled-by-default feature. Android enables some of it for the Pixel Tablet already but not Pixel phones. We plan to enable the same feature flags for phones too. Either way, it's an experimental developer option for now.

PSA: PlaytronOS
Playtron has made some waves in Linux gaming. They have lots of big names in Linux working on the project. Recently they were featured by Framework today in their presentation. However, I think it's abundantly clear that anyone who cares about FOSS should stay far away from this.
I was intrigued by this as well some months ago. I even ignored when they blatantly lied about Valve/Steam locking down their OS to only play Steam games. So I gave it a try and installed it. On setup they wanted me to agree to a EULA. That was red flag #2. Never seen that before. Then they wanted me to agree to their privacy policy. It is a very typical corporate user-hostile privacy policy. Some highlights
