@Gina @luricaun I knew I should have written a longer toot to increase my chances 😜

covid-19, misinformation

When @HP unilaterlly withdrew its "free ink for life" plan for its rental ink customers, they demonstrated the danger of devices that can be updated by the manufacturer in ways that owners can't override. consumerreports.org/printers/h

@cypnk have you tried finding a station with no frequency indication? It's incredibly frustrating as one needs to wait several minutes to find out where they are, then guess how far to go to get to the desired station.

It looks great, but if one listens to more than one station it would be a nightmare to use.

@dansup what does that mean? Assumed that applied filters altered the stored photo which would naturally federate. Does this mean that the original photo plus filter get propagated? Or that filters from another instance can be applied to this one? Or something else?

@Gina avoid the complications and just send the Kruidnoten my way 😉

"Pleins d’objets « connectés » sont en panne partout dans le monde puisque le service de cloud AWS est en panne dans un ensemble de datacenter "us-east-1", qui est proposée par défaut il me semble lors de la création d'un projet AWS aux États-Unis."

@brennen @mhoye are they really that hoopy? I don't get the sense they know where their towels are

@abbienormal @mntmn so then the pinephone for you (and then get to take advantage of the software funded by Librem5 development)?

I ordered as part of the crowd funding campaign, and have been strung along with slipping release dates for 3 years. Starting now, likely wouldn't order until they get the wrinkles out and iterate (probably "fir" batch, if they ever get there).

I don't have regrets, as the ecosystem needed a kickstart. Hopefully others join & produce

I’m told that many Germans are stockpiling cheese and sausages in anticipation of a COVID lockdown — planning, in other words, for a Wurst-Käse scenario

@jeremiah @Phaserune @purism or someone who understands that it takes more than hardware to create a viable phone. PinePhone gets to slurp up the software effort paid for by Purism for the Librem 5, and relies on community for the rest. The result is a phone that's cheap but not yet useful as a daily driver. They both fill a need. Those who can afford to, help to drive the ecosystem forward. Those who can't still have the low end option.

@ifixcoinops @ghostdancer yeah, but the US cup is 250 mL and the UK cup is "whatever holds liquid and is in the cupboard"

@LeoSammallahti the coop model handles that (in at least some cases), if I understand you correctly. Not sure that a government run initiative would be more effective; too often the income gets reallocated in ways that are counter to the initial goal.

If you find an example of that working, though, I'd be very interested!

@LeoSammallahti it is a combination of people paying market rates, along with those that qualify for subsidized housing. What's the goal of the public housing you envision?
