Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)

✨ Mia’s Simulacrum 🏳️‍⚧️✨  

Vacation without Smartphones can be so good.

And damn I came to the realization that I really hate smartphones.

It is not healthy if humans can jump into a entertainment machine the second they feel the slightest amount of boredom. So many things happened because we did commit us to not use a smartphone in this vacation, which we failed a few times.

I find sometimes having rather aggravated emotions against smartphones especially because I feel helpless against them. I feel I have to fight for attention and room in the mind of a person if a smartphone is present or the notifications are on.

Even if the person is only using small social media like discord or Fedi this is significant.
If a person is using super addictive social media like TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts it gets even harder.

Humanity really needs a way how to handle that stuff.

@prav I have been using Fluux as a web app on iOS and quite happy with it (installed with Add to Home Screen). Limitation is audio calls are not added as a feature yet but for the text and experience otherwise it works.

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM

@techlore Also they have just published a Linux version for Arm chips - finally! So that it is now much easier to install Signal on Linux phones. I had been waiting for that for years.

@zak It's the essence of monopoly- they know even if it is horrible most people will not switch away.

@aboutsignal This will be great to use on my Linux phone!

@doctormo @thomholwerda Right, I didn't mean to come off as snarky, it was a genuine question more aimed at the earlier post that "theming is accessibility", but I have the sense that iOS is not themable but also is very accessible. I'm wondering if that impression is wrong, or if there are different paths to accessibility?

@doctormo @thomholwerda Would you consider iOS themeable?

Severe weather in the area recently, and my OnePlus 6T phone running received the cell broadcast alert! Certainly many to thank for this feature being available on , including @phosh @postmarketOS and many more I don't even know.

I joined Google in late 2008, and left in 2021, witnessing this whole arc from the near abroad (organisationally), aghast at all the same public revelations Claire recounts in compressed form here. For those of us who hoped for better, it hits right in the feels:

@Blort I view that as exactly the goal of postmarketOS. They have an Open Collective.
