The fact that there are _dim sum_ implies the existence of _bright sum_, and maybe also of _dark sum_?

Is it a zero sum game?

No, but... seriously,
@internetarchive ?

With all the profound love I have for you, do i really have to contract and interact with Google/Alphabet Inc. in order to be able to log in to The Internet Archive?

Is that something temporary? A mistake? Or is that part of some sort of contractual obligation and/or partnership with the company?

How can people who refuse any interaction with this criminal/monopolistic conglomerate still contribute to your efforts?

O, Irony.... :((...

by: @jz@mamot.fr

30 years ago I got my first Internet access (ISP client ) w/ 14.400bps modem.

Today, I refuse:
- connection to any IP related to Google or any of its spy-services;
- android, iOS (+any app available only through their app stores);
- anything that requires to use a phone number to sign in (Signal, Discord);
- javascript from most websites i do not know, and third-parties;
- the 2 major web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, although using a fork of the latter).

... I became a _digital hermit_. 🛖⌨️🌳

Let's drop the term "#RetroGaming "! ☠️ 🕹️...


by: @jz@mamot.fr

Let's drop the term ""! ☠️ 🕹️

- It is demeaning: "retro" = "out-of-date", divisive: 'retro" Vs "modern", and elitist: the "elders" know.. 👴 and turned into a speculative bubble; 💸

- It is a moving target: Is PS3 "retro" now? ⏩

- Listening to M. Davis or Pink Floyd is not "retro music"! it's part of universal love of music! 🎶

Passion for older games is part of *enjoyment and preservation of video game history*, that we can all be actors of, in an open and inter-generational way! 💗🎮

@mozillaofficial Let me put this straight:

If you DO NOT remove that clause, apologize and fire the person(s) who initiated it in the first place,

I will dump ALL your products AND spend the rest of my life telling everyone i know (and then some) how you took Google's money to betray everything a free/libre and open Internet ever stood for.

How about that for a deal?

Oh, sorry, you don't even have a say, you hereby accepted those terms by using me...

by: @jz@mamot.fr

OK so here is a beginning of a plan:

1/ find the browser (or fork of firefox for now) that one can transition to;

2/ keep one instance of firefox for one and only one purpose:

- typing (and automating the typing) of what we truly think about mozilla, firefox and their overlord google ("F*CK OFF FIREFOX", etc. )

- granting them a "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use" *that* sort of input coming from us, and only that!

- let them train LLM and "help us navigate" with that!

Firefox Terms of Use
Effective February 25, 2025

mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/

"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

so, let it be clear:

I DO NOT CONSENT to Mozilla Corp. accessing or using ANYTHING i type in my browser, whether to serve ads, train LLMs or ANYTHING.

Sometimes i believed in the legend of "convergence": one device to rule them all and forever bind them.

Since i use a and reposessed a personal computing environment that is frugal and tailored to my needs, i am completely re-considering.

Got myself a "modern" device to run on (rockbox.org/). and OH MY! 1/ how much it progressed since the last 15y i didnt use it! 2/ how amazing to have dedicated, reliable top-notch audio sw+hw!

Sometimes i leave "phone" at home.

Hello Fedi, 💗

Do you know anything about *indoors air quality measurement*? 💨 📈

A few questions here:

- is the "Air Gradient One" truly one of the most exhaustive + affordable option (respectful of people's computing freedom? airgradient.com/indoor/ Or is there something better?

- is that precise enough that you could move in a space and identify sources of particles? (stashes of devices, windows, carpets, etc?)

- how about mold? is there any DIY solution for those?

At least this time nobody can credibly blame for 's election!

(The same who did last time will again find -i am sure- ways to avoid honestly assessing 1/ how broken is the US election system 2/ how tragically corrupt is the bi-partisan system 3/ how comically bad is the DNC 4/ how weak was their candidate, almost indistiguishable from the worst...5/ how racist, mysogynist, violent is the population... 6/ how much participating in twitter is part of the problem...)

Has anyone had success in fixing a (almost 5yo, that fell a few times) which microphone is now either completely mute, or sometimes generating loud noise, but kinda works when pinched (accross screen and back)

Something like this technique wiki.pine64.org/wiki/User:Earb or something else?

Any advice? how straightforward is it otherwise to change the USB-C board?
