It’s a tolino vision 2. Technically, it runs android 4 under the hood, but I would need to tinker with it via adb to run something else, and the small storage space available makes this not so appealing. I’d prefer to leave the complexity to the server and do the reading inside the browser in the ereader.

That’s an interesting setup, but my ereader probably doesn’t support the tinkering needed to install syncthing on it (it’s a refurbrished tolino vision 2) and the available memory is too low.

I will check them both, thank you. I don’t think my device supports koreader, but maybe I can read directly from the browser.

How would kagi help in the bias described in the article? If a person makes a biased search, any search engine will behave the same. The text mentions that even unbiased search engines are susceptible to this.

I already know a couple of people who already talk to chatbots as if they were their friends. This is so depressing… And by the current state of things, I might be reading bot publications and replying to bots here and there, without knowing. That just increases my will to die

Jellyfin users have been warning about such things for a long time, but very few actually listened. Well, here we are, hope more people migrate now

Bring it on!

Well… I expected better longevity, to be honest.

So, my comment was removed without even a warning? What rule did I break? The rules clearly state that memes are allowed in comments.

I see people mentioning obtainium, but never tried it. Will it give some relevant benefits over fdroid for low end devices?

Well, you’re technically correct lol

And that’s one of the benefits from open source apps. I have a very low end and dated phone, and yet I have more apps installed and hardware functionality than the average person, because I grab everything I can from f-droid. It’s amazing how much smaller and performant everything is.

I still miss firefox os and feel sad for them not succeeding. Their app system could have become a multiplatform standard and allow us to have much more options in the smartphone market, as well as better desktop integration and interoperability :(

Don’t lose hope, lead the resistance!

Out of curiosity, how many flip phones have you used since 2007?

We used to be free from such bullshit, but some companies have started trying to bring similar systems here in Brazil, especially drugstore brands that would ask for our id number in every order to give “discounts”. Fortunately, this practice is now being investigated, and I hope the companies lose the case.

Might sound a bit unrelated, but have you been noticing an apparent rise on ageism too? The social media seem to be fueling it for some reason.

That’s simple. They use an LLM to find the right people for the job /s

Exactly. If there were perfectly interchangeable alternatives, there would have been a true competition and those companies wouldn’t be holding the amount of power they do today in the first place.

Moving to alternatives requires some degree of effort and giving up on some microconforts. There’s no other way. There’s no fight without any pain. If we want to fight those companies, we must sacrifice those micro conforts, even if that means reducing tech use as a whole and doing a few things the “old fashioned” way.

That would be reuse, not recycle ;)

But that’s a nice suggestion
