Is Intel Core Ultra Series 1 current gen, or is it a gen old by now? Framework has them, but I suppose you technically can’t get them since they’re currently on preorder

Give them a phone with no play store or browser. If they get apks over mms or adb I think they’ve earned them

No, you need an account on mastodon or another microblog platform

You can’t easily run the normal version. You can install the android version fairly easily, but running the normal version requires you to enable a debian container from developer options

The stuff people don’t like is generative AI

I would hope they’re protected by the router firewall

This doesn’t say they’re removing it, just deprecating it. I thought it had been deprecated for ages

Lead is more dangerous to humans. Plastic is worse for the planet

If they’re using md5 (which would be in line with their security practices), the block size is 512 bits. That means that everything less than 64 characters is the same cost

They can’t show you ads if you never connect them to the internet

You can get decently capable machines for under $100 if you go used

Natively somehow, or via LFS? If you have LFS set up, explorer lets you use it to mount Linux disks

Did you get it through your carrier? They add extra bloat vs buying it unlocked

You can fix most apps with the Play Integrity Fix module and denylist. You might have to hide the magisk app too. It doesn’t get 100% of them though, I still can’t figure out how my bank app is catching it. Plus I’ve had RCS stop working with that setup, so I have to keep it disabled to avoid missing messages

They realized banning convenience is bad for business. You can still pay in private ways

Actually, it seems I was misunderstanding. Apparently all mastodon posts get federated as appearing on !random, so I’m not sure what I was seeing

But on mastodon, there’s a feed that lets you view all posts from all federated instances. Wouldn’t mbin users be excluded from that feed when posting to !random?

Edit: I was looking, and it seems to me that if a user posts to !random, I can’t even see it on their profile from mastodon? Am I misunderstanding this?

My understanding is that mbin encourages microblogging to !random, which you can’t see from other instances. Is that incorrect? If that’s the case, I really don’t understand how mbin federation is supposed to work

I do?
