:) Thank you. Yes Mail in a box has been around for a while. Still not straightforward, though.

Hehe You answered your own statement! If it were ever to become non-trivial : I’d certainly do it (even though I know people who do, are bombarded with spam).

Yes… I guess if someone were to only use Tox, the device they were using it on would have to be on all the time, with one of the Tox clients running at least in the background.

Addendum At least you know when the other person is online… There’s some advantage to that.

They’re kept on other people’s servers, is what I meant.

I’ve wondered before now about an e-mail system which hosts the emails on one’s own device, and uses the activity-pub protocol : decentralised email, I guess…

The closest I’ve seen is Tox.

It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.

Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk

Pure speculation : the idea of open source sells. It’s more appealing than the alternative.

The Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A coming with Debian pre-installed, is arguably the first consumer RISC-V device.

Qualcomm has good reason to focus on RISC-V. I’m expecting them to bring out SoCs as soon as they can. And with the Nuvia team, they have the design prowess to produce some very performant silicon.

Perversely; I’m always less inclined to buy a product that I’ve seen advertised… “Why do they need to advertise it? It can’t be up to much.” And “Part of the ticket price has gone into advertising, so it’s not so valuable a thing.”, usually being my first thoughts.

I guess this is a fair indication then of how much Meta receives per person from advertisers…

Is this technology open source?

I wasn’t suggesting it! There are other options.

The IPhone 3g turned me from a long-time Apple Fanboy to a Linux enthusiast over a decade ago. With no regrets.

The hardware isn’t the issue…

The problem comes when Apple decides not to upgrade the OS any more. Then, some time after that, the apps you like to use won’t work.

Planned obsolescence : environmentally iniquitous.

I contacted them about putting the Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A RISC-V SoM in… but they seemed unenthusiastic…

Not everyone is riding the hyperbole in tech.

I use Tox P2P.

What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it’s finished?

HEAR! HEAR!!
