As much as I understand beehaw admin has every right to defedorate with any instance, and I respect and appreciate beehaw admins looking after the community.
However, it seems this instance is no longer for me. I want to see more content by more people. There needs to be a balance of content quantity vs content quality. I personally think that beehaw is leaning too much towards quality for my personal liking.
I am surprised they don't advertise their laptops as "handmade", because it seems like they are.
cough, cough, lightening port.
As much as I share your centiment about tech. I don't quite realize how is TPM scary? It physically separates security important operation from the main CPU.
Cookieautodelete is sooo underrated.
WHAT?! That is a new low, even for steve
In my experience I find niche community are very well "centralized", like there is only one gnome community.
However larger community are speard between servers like tech etc. That really is not a problem for me, as any of these larger community can give me the news I need. Also sub to all 3 of them is not a big deal either.
Like everyone on reddit sub to at least 3 art communities, 5 dank meme communities, and 10 music communities.
Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.
"And the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,"
By "significant", he means 3%???
How was the food, I was told that was not dutches' strong strong suit.
How dare you suggest that children and our future are more important than old millionaire boomer trolls, that uses every fiber of their being to screw everyone over so that they can have enjoy free vacations from their CEO friends?
Besides /e/ os, I would also recommend graphene and calyxos.
Calyxos works similar to /e/os in that it uses microg to get things working, but calyxos is more up-to-date and secure.
Graphene os uses sandboxed Google play, which sounds bad, but the play services is confined to its sandbox, basically graphene os will simply feed it garbage telemetry unless it is absolutely necessary for the system to function.
/e/ os supports more devices (not just pixel like the other two), have their own SSO cloud service based on Nextcloud, and they support device that is outside of the support period of manufacturer (this also hurts security, as firmware cannot be updated without the OEM supporting the phone). But there is always a trade-off between security and longevity, given that most OEM only support a phone for couple of years now.
