It also has the network problem now. BlueSky quickly got the numbers because it was easy at the right time. It was perfect for the Xodus. Mastodon missed that window. It can get easier and sexier, but it missed that window and will need another.

Odoo does CRM quite well. It also does project management, but sure yet it’s as good at it as OpenProject.

My go to is still Hacker’s Keyboard. It’s great with Termux and me as good touch keyboard as I’ve had.

Locked down means a power imbalance. The users are then just serf and will be abused. I want users empowered and the right to repair, repurposed and upgrade. Locked down devices mean short lived disposable devices, built as ewaste, that hoover up user data when used. It’s dystopian.

Let alone where are tomorrow’s developers coming from when they are growing up in such nutrient poor environment.

I rage against this dark serfdom future, but it’s on law makers to regulate to keep consumers/user free. So I’ve monthly donated to OpenRightsGroup for over a decade and always telling people to read some Cory Doctorow.

The only one with a different web browser engine? The only one that is actural competition?

I want to see the lay out of their 7 seat version, clearly, and it’s boot!

I guess maybe having them under state ownership will help with migrating away from gas all together. Which is best for national energy security long run.

Oh it may well get worse. FPTP could give them power. Rarely does the power in party have a majority of the population support. Labour need to ditch FPTP for good of the country. But they won’t because they could win again, and it’s party before country.

Still a lot of fascist idiots. Generally they are old, but that still a lot of people. Poll have changed more because Leavers are aging out, rather minds changing.

This didn’t work out well for the US last time.

FPTP mature??? It’s the dummy’s version of democracy.

Literally his own words. About his only words that got to my feeds. I keep my feeds clear as I can of Nazi/MAGA/misogyny/toxic stuff.

“Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay. Oh my pee pee feels good this is great!”

Why any teenage boy would hear that and not unsubscribe is beyond me. They are the other way round. They don’t want children, they just want sex with women. That’s normal for a heterosexual teenage boy.

A bit above the budget you say, but FairBud XL are nice.

Plus you know you can repair them and supporting a cool company.

I like mine anyway. 😃

Exactly. When it’s criminal to have privacy, only criminals will have privacy. And privacy is security.

I’m so sick technological illiterate law makers.

Ok, I accept all that, but the maps just are better to me. I grew up with the UK Ordnance Survey maps, and that’s kind of what I want from my maps.

I’ll amend.

Not quite the same. The big thing with GrapheneOS is it can run the actual Google services, but sandboxed. Organic Maps is better than Google Maps in everyway, but it’s routes are so much worse because it has no traffic into to go on. It’s an anticompetitive network effect, but it’s hard to fight without law makers.

Edit: Ok, it is good, but the main thing I like about is the maps can be setup to be as good as ones you’d manually navigate by. A bit like UK’s Ordnance Survey maps.

Even before that, who would want to be in part of America by choice? The health care horror show and massive inequality are but two reasons.

Exactly. Best of both worlds. We actually want a currency that can be manipulated by government. That’s how they stabilise it. An unstable currency isn’t much use. Block chain transfers is great because it means easy, secure transfers in the open. No gatekeepers like WorldPay.
