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?

Anyone has experience with using Matrix to access (bridge) to ahem... Discord? :/
Any public instance/server through which to experiment for that?
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?
30 years ago I got my first Internet access (ISP client #8xxx) 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"! ☠️ 🕹️
- It is demeaning: "retro" = "out-of-date", divisive: 'retro" Vs "modern", and elitist: the "elders" know..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! 💗🎮
An easy task to clear up your mindspace: close 100 tabs!
@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...
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
https://www.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 #pinephone 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 #Rockbox on (https://www.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? https://www.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?
What is a good way of accessing the #38C3 fahrplan via CLI/TUI?

Never attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to incompetence AND malice, combined in various proportions...
At least this time nobody can credibly blame #Assange for #trump '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 #pinephone (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 https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/User:Earboxer/Shim_U101 or something else?
Any advice? how straightforward is it otherwise to change the USB-C board?
