Set one up as a cache of things you like. Have it fetch things with punch flat and filter out the ads. Then you can watch whatever you want even after Google takes it down for no reason.

Reticulum doesn’t need a cellphone tower either.

Can you hear the fan? If no, it’s probably fine.

I use the term “inference machine”

And why would anyone expect Taiwan to give on this? They don’t benefit at all.

Art of the deal my ass.

Solution “payments process through the system only at the price you posted. If this isn’t done, the ad pointing to you doesn’t come down and new ones don’t go up. You only get X number of posts simultaneously.”

But then we’ve have another app to juggle all the account created to circumvent this so fuck it.

Are they paying for your phone? Are they giving a stipend for your service? Then tell them to fuck off and give you a yubikey.

A Linux phone could theoretically use other networks. You could pipe traffic through I2P or bounce it around multiple network types with reticulum. It’s actually theoretically possible to make a community mesh that doesn’t need cellular at all. I don’t NEED to carry the entire internet with me everywhere. I can carry a device with a cache of stuff I need but for everything else I can just connect to some sort of network to fetch it when I actually need it on demand.

A Linux phone would let you do that. You can explore that possibility. Android and IPhone will never allow that because latency is shot on the alternative networks and they aren’t expensive enough to make a profit off of.

Because they are planning for if people rise up to fight back. It’s not about protecting you. It’s about protecting them.

Meshtastic might not be the best tool for this. Reticulum is more versatile.

No. There are plenty of small business that don’t overcharge. It’s kind of the entire point of a small business.

$45 for a shirt is ridiculous.

At a certain point, the word “terrorist” becomes less threatening. We are currently at the stage where my niece refusing to pick up her toys makes her a terrorist.

Competitor is already here. Apple and Ampere are making ARM systems that fit most users needs. There are ARM servers. But people don’t want to switch.

You made this on your phone on the bus ride to and from work.

I cleaned the cat box yesterday and considered that an accomplishment.

Fuck.
