Adding them didn’t bother me. Actively subverting my choice to not use them did.

The day I went to install something with APT and it forced installed the Snap with no easy way to tell it not to was the last day I ever ran Ubuntu on my PC

Traditional, old school forums.

They’ve been around forever but just recently become federated software.

It’s not impossible for custom ROMs to exist. And possibly GSIs.

Maybe being a enthusiast niche device (and a unique one) could mean a bit more dev attention.

This IMO is great news. It should be powerful enough to do everything you could want from it smoothly, at least on this kind of device.

You can use it for Flatpaks which works great for a lot of people.

Nah. The state I used to live in I wouldn’t say either of those things.

Pinning your versions just means updating will be a pain, and you’ll probably start running outdated containers that are security risks.

It’s not like you’re doing code audits every updates anyway. Just use containers that are established and seem trustworthy. It’s all you can really do.

I live literally a dozen miles from a launch pad 🫠

My apartment windows rattle from them

You’re good, but Sony recently announced that going forward their TVs will be made by TCL. It’ll still be branded Sony but it’s not, really.

This isn’t that odd. My father was deployed in the military when I was born

Netcup was okay for me. I used to have one of their ARM VPSs

It could even grab metadate of every traffic in your wifi

Nah it’s on a separate vlan

It probably has a temperature sensor (knows when you open your windows). It probably has a movement sensor hence beeing able to grab vibration data…like do you walk around, when, how much, more than one person.

To what end?

It could also act as part of a DDoS attack or be used as a domestic ip proxy.

Maybe. Being a major brand I’m sure some network nerds would notice these kind of packets at some point. But that’s probably the most realistic.

Right yeah we gotta wait for the production to ramp up

Top -> 6 hours

This is why mine has no camera

Go ham. Most data you’re getting out of me is my floor layout lmao.

Fortunately such laws do not seem forthcoming in my country, and I have yet to see how not following the laws of other countries will be able to meaningfully affect us.

No. The strength of Torrenting is that a bunch of slow connections can combine into one fast download.

Yep. As a Fediverse admin that’s basically it. Until there are legal or financial consequences there will be no ID verification. If I am forced… Well my instance will be disabled. Simple as that unfortunately.

I think it’ll only be a problem for a week anyhow.
