That’s a bit unfair. Postmarket is super cool and I can’t wait to get a Linux phone. But let’s not pretend it’s ready to be daily driven. Even on the best supported phones there are still hardware driver compatibility issues. And that’s not even speaking about the software catalog. Even in the privacy community, a lot of people regard banking apps as mandatory. Good luck ever getting those to run there.
Just as long as the line which wants to crown trump god emperor. Which is kinda why you guys are in that mess to begin with.
Isn’t Red Hat downstream from Fedora? But I guess it doesn’t lessen IBM’s influence.

Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.
Well good luck ever owning a pc then. AMD and Intel have massive investments over there as well.
So like Ukraine?
In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Good news. However shouldn’t that also include online age verification?
I’d add to that that we really don’t know enough about the use case of OP. Maybe ssh is already enough.
Probably not quite what you had in mind, but that might actually happen. The saudis are the main investors in AI. If they can’t sell their oil, they might be forced to pull out. It could burst the AI bubble all together and crash the US economy.
I really don’t like how the “protect the children” excuse every neo fascist government is touting to sell their wet dreams of tracking everyone 24/7, still gets debated like it has any validity. Kudos to Japan for having seemingly working child protection laws, but this just doesn’t have any relevance to the surveillance machine that’s currently being built around us. It’s coming even if every child disappeared today. I’d rather see more active discussions around what the next steps are, alternatives to the current web and guides how to set them up for example.
But if a trillion dollar corpo is raping basic human rights it’s always just 0.1% of their bottom line. Disgusting.
Nah. Evil fucks. That’s 100 times worse than being dumb.

What are you on about? If they get 95% of the population with this it’s still a huge win for them.
They responded to it when it first came up 4 months ago. I’ll paste my appropriate comment from that time.
The f-droid team spoke to that in a recent post. The post basically said that if that change isn’t stopped on a government level there’s no way for them to continue working. They didn’t mention roms.

I’m not worried. Either it’ll only affect their dedicated servers. Or it’ll be integrated into mastodon itself and then quickly forked.
Thanks for the help and advice. What was the issue with your meshtastic experiment? If it’s location granularity that’s something I might be prepared to deal with.
My privacy expectations are as follows:
Thanks for the explanation and advice. I’ll get a beeper while I’ll get into meshtastic and can get tracking working that way.
Never tried it myself, but doesn’t steam have a feature to stream to your friends? Your friend would just need to install the client and create an account. All the other options in this thread are just if you want to serve your streams to a broader audience
