It'd be good for Android to be mostly its base, the Android Open Source Project. Over the years Google put more and more things in the proprietary part of Android (Google Play Services) instead of AOSP.

Depends on who takes over whether that gets better of course. If they also put too much in Play Services, or ask the manufacturers for a high fee, yes it's possible we go back to more oem flavours.

I guess this means we're not switching to RCS then?

Not so far, I think the recommended filesystem is ext4, or if you have multiple drives, ext4 on LVM.

I've been using FreedomBox for years, overal I still like it. I don't think Yunohost and CasaOS were around when I started, the alternatives were DIY from just a normal Linux distro, or NAS focused thing like OMV and trueNAS, both worse for what I wanted.

It doesn't have a lot of apps but still some you may want. Some configuration stuff is really nice, like it makes it beginner friendly to set up Pagekite, LetsEncrypt, a firewall, ssh keys, users and reverse proxy automatically configured for the apps it does have.

Have configured some stuff outside of plinth anyway. Docker containers for apps it doesn't have, configure apache to reverse proxy those too. I set up my storage in btrfs volumes from command line, but I think you could do it from the web interface too.

If I were to start over, I'd probably try Yunohost too, my third option would be plain Debian and diy everything rather than Casa. But for now I have no reason to try anything else.

Alternative solutions like fossil-free fuels are worth looking into because batteries are heavy.

Not better than BEVs, public transport or better batteries until they prove it's practicable, just worth at least looking at it.

Do you have any idea how much fusion you'd have to do to have it be a significant source of helium?

*edit: I was curious but had to guess ranges to do the maths. To fill a single Flying Whale airship, a 2 GW fusion plant needs to run between 90 and 850 years.

It's more work to find something that fits than ask an ai, but https://search.creativecommons.org/

Yes wool oil, ovine sebum.

If there's anarchists on Hexbear and none of them speak against AES, it's because they know not to mention it.

I guess I could see some anarchists support vague nonsense that sounds similar to an ML. Like having even less sympathy for an openly capitalist regime than ones that are or purport to be socialist. But they're obviously not anarchists if they genuinely support some states.

Mine is in August. Figs supposedly have two harvests a year, but I must have blinked during the other one.

People living to old age means more people are alive at the same time, that's just math.

Marshall has copyright on his lyrics, you just said yourself patents and copyright are different things.

Sufficiently different rip-offs that don't confuse consumers as being the original should be legal. They already are as far as copyright is concerned.

Many design patents should never have been registered, and should lose when defended in court. Design trademarks are a third similar issue.
