Yeah, unfortunately the display/esp32 can now only be purchased pre-flashed from specific retailers (for a significant markup) and the firmware is no longer published anywhere. The only way to update is OTA.

It’s all really shitty. Though, I’ll admit, I really didn’t have high hopes when I found out that they use discord for everything from troubleshooting to documentation to group buys.

I bought the parts to build mine a year ago and never got around to it. I’ll still build it, but it’s sad they are either ripping away all potential future support, are fracturing the community, or both

I love open source.

On a related note, open source projects that get big without a reliable leadership organizational structure risk burning down just as easily.

Recently nix, wordpress, and gaggiuino were affected by this kind of thing. Nix seems to be recovering. Wordpress doesn’t look good. Gaggiuino skipped right over source-available and went closed-source.

Linux is a success story with this structure, but I think we need to be better about building projects with stability in mind.

Haha thanks. It’s definitely a lot. It’s really sad that this kind of thing is what is necessary for smooth interoperability.

I have the same issue. I just told people that if they want to have me in a group message, we need to use Signal, or they will be frustrated.

Proton also has a VPN

I use Read You for RSS

For WhatsApp and other platforms, I host a Matrix server and add bridges for them.

To replace Google Home, I host a Home Assistant server

For music, you can host your on music streaming service with Navidrome and use an app like Ultrasonic on your phone. If you don’t want to buy music outright, you can get a qobuz subscription and use qobuz-dl to grab music from it.

I second Kagi. It’s great!

I use the standard Firefox browser and I’m pretty happy with it.

different service ;)

They’re funded by a parent organization with a crypto coin, and they explicitly state hosting AI models as one of their main goals. No thanks.

I do own one and I love it, but I have similar complaints about the heart rate monitor. I just don’t use it enough to have it matter. sleep tracking works pretty okay, though.

the Bangle.js 2 has all of those features and works with gadgetbridge like the pinetime

Also, just a sidenote, while AlphaFold2 training data is available for download (unsure if AlphaFold3 will follow suit), the OSI recently released its definition for open source AI models, and there is no requirement that the training data needs to also be open for a model to be considered “open source”, which is extremely disappointing and will degrade the meaning of open source.

I was very much looking forward to this, and it works great. My instance is back up and running again.

I use FreshRSS, Read You on Android, and NewsFlash on my PC. It all syncs via FreshRSS seamlessly.

really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

The fact that there is overlap has no bearing on whether your definition is common.

That’s nice. If your goal is to ever talk to people about open source software, that’s going to create a lot of unnecessary confusion.

On top of that, accepting this bolsters companies to use this kind of a definition specifically to take advantage of the mental model that many people have connecting “open source” with OSI.

Lol what a clusterfuck. These guys are dolts.

It does for me. And it has for over a year. I have to reset the cache every day or it slows to an unusable crawl. The web client works fine, though
