  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • Mobile non-Android Linux on more than developer devices and 5 year old tech would be the largest impact, especially if you could pull off half of what the Liberux Nexx was promising. An all in one convergent pro-privacy device with flagship hardware would be a game changer. Possibly more urgent now that Google is pushing Android to be more locked down.

    Desktops are primarily used by hobbyists (mostly gaming), creators, and businesses. To get Linux more there you need OEM installs and more driver support, Adobe and other big holdouts finally porting their stuff, and alternatives to AD respectively.

  • Lazy question as I haven't followed the DSA closely and Wikipedia seems very surface level - does it do stupid privacy invasive crap and forget small sites exist like the UK's Online Safety Act?

  • The underlying software forge Codeberg uses, Forgejo, is self-hostable. I'm sure some web hosting business will get around to providing a managed hosting offering eventually.

  • Credit cards should roughly do the same, but both of those aren't "great" for privacy and really exists to make profiles of adults while pretending to negate the need for parents to parent (the only real way to reduce/prevent harms of kids witnessing age inappropriate media). Your ability to do financial transactions shouldn't be tied to your speech or content you view.

  • And even when it comes to Galaxies, you can't buy from a carrier in the US or you'll often get a special version that, you guessed right, has a locked bootloader. (Two phones now, never again).

    Which sources do you use to keep up with current events?

    Jump

  • I'm a supporter of a few non-profit local news sources and they've been awesome.

    I've been liking https://legiblenews.com/ but NPR marketplace and morning edition has been amazing for a traditonal source (I love https://text.npr.org/ too, not enough sites offer that amazing of UX) for national/world news. BBC World Service is pretty good too.

    Ground News is nice for its blindspot feature but I think I'll be sending my money elsewhere when renewal hits.

  • The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

  • If you keep forgetting them for another ~15-25 more years they might have value in the retro space.

  • Florida ban on kids using social media likely unconstitutional, judge rules

    Jump

  • Granted this law was more clear cut with 14, 16, and 18 being the dividing lines, but it definitely fails to concisely define social media.

    The other issue is how do you verify age, and that has been another difficult question if you think people should have reasonable expectations of privacy and aren't comfortable with the "enter your birthyear" forms.

  • Florida ban on kids using social media likely unconstitutional, judge rules

    Jump

  • The main difficulty is defining social media in a way that doesnt restrict other modern communication, education, idea publication, operating a business, shopping, sharing ideas, etc.

    Should such laws block Etsy, your family's Nextcloud, a school ran web forum that only students/parents/faculty can access, Crash Course on YouTube, encrypted communication between your family, etc?

    The other difficulty is defining the term "children" consistently. Many US states have simple categories that go all the way to 18, if not later.

    Should there be a difference in laws for access for toddlers, elementary ages, and adolescents?

    If you think these are easy questions, I suggest you look at the dialog around the UK's Online Safety Act where they are having to answer these questions after the fact.

  • No. The internet and the later WWW have been so instrumental in my life there is no way I'd have not had been influenced differently.

    I've worked through so many arguments and unsafe questions in online spaces that simply wouldn't have been possible in the very conservative areas I grew up. I'd likely have had to seek answers with out groups and ended up elsewhere adding to my changed influences. I'd have likely had a very different career path too.

    I'm faithful that I'd have ended up in the same religion but it'd have taken a much darker journey to get there.

  • Hopefully things like PineTime, Bangle.js, and the return of Pebble can shake up the market. There's always neat DIY hacks like the SensorWatch too that can still make the space fun even if the major players get enshittified.
