Disappointed there doesn’t appear to be a project page

There is a workaround for this, which is to use a service like JMP.chat to redirect SMS to XMPP, at which point you only need to ensure internet which is a bit of a lower requirement than specific networks (but of course may still become more limiting over time)

It’s too early to be certain, but I’ve got high hopes for the future of the SHIFT 6mq.

I believe it has mainline linux support, or it is being worked on, which will be important for ongoing OS upgrades. Otherwise they have a similar philosophy to Fairphone with an important difference; SHIFT wants you to be able to upgrade their phones, not just repair them. I don’t think this has been realistically tested yet, but the successor SHIFTPHONE 8 is coming out imminently, and I think we should start to see pretty soon if any of the new modules can be installed on the older model.

I’ve actually got the SHIFTPHONE 8 coming myself, because I got spooked by places turning off 3G already and wanted to “future proof” with 5G, but otherwise would have preferred the 6mq.

The one caveat is that SHIFT is a very small company, which could mean risk for long term support.

He’s not naked, he’s wearing glasses

I reckon that requires a legislative solution, not just a technological one.

I’m not very familiar with consumer co-ops beyond “the thing that keeps popping up when I try to look into worker co-ops”. What do you get out of a multi-stakeholder co-op that’s better than a pure worker’s co-op?

What do the exclamation points mean?

(Possibly hollow)

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

What thing called turtle are you referring to?

Note to studios: there is no amount of potential, unrealised profit that makes it ethical to install malware on another person’s computer.

Scrum that’s not adapted to your needs isn’t scrum.

Thank you, I love this

If

*off screen* me too!

makes more sense to me than

~me too~

Does that make me a goth?

That’s highly cultural.

I’ve used 3 unrelated baby cams and junked them all because not one was remotely usable, never mind reliable.

That was a decade ago, but we had pretty solid ip cameras a decade ago.

We’re hardly immune to bad policing

Victorian police shoot two people after being repeatedly told by club staff that there was no threat.

Victorian police beat climate protestors at mining conference

Victorian police kettle and pepper spray BLM protestors in Melbourne train station - I haven’t been able to find this one again but lots of references to Vic Pol using kettling as standard operating procedure.

After reading that whole article I feel no more enlightened.

They mentioned secure boot, is secure boot part of the exploit or does the exploit invalidate secure boot?

That’s leftpad. The package name dispute was over something else, but they pulled all their packages from npm in protest. Turned out leftpad was a transient dependency for a huge swathe of all JavaScript.
