Our emperor Elon gave him a fair trial in a court of his peers before serving out the sentence?

Totally not unchecked power right?

Not diametrically apposed to Right To Repair right?

Oh we know. If Russia wins, Poland is next. Russia salami slicing started in 2014 with its first annexation of part of Ukrainian.

That's not fair. Multiple books of his books are award winning. Even if you only like one, the critics rate him. Other writers, rate him.

It's still unpleasant intolerance, so not funny. Not suddenly ok because the target is normally the assailant on this front.

Too late. Somewhere so sunny can get a lot of solor quickly. Building nuclear power plants takes time and releases a lot of CO2. Batteries and solor now now. Cheapest power too.

Storing offline is great and all, but I hope everyone is storing on multiple disks at multiple locations....

Yer didn't think so, I'm sure photos are being lost.

Giving up liberty doesn't buy you security. You just end up with neither. Putin won't stop with Ukraine.

Imagine thinking this is OK. The dehumanizing mental gymnasts to think this. I'd feel sorry for them and be thinking they need counselling, if it wasn't for the whole supporting/committing genocide thing.....

Exactly. If you don't have root, you don't "own" the device. Apps, like bank apps, that refuse to run on devices with root access, (or custom OSs) should be illegal.

I'm much more optimistic, though I do think it will get worse before it gets better. I think we'll end up with a few mass killer enviromental events before humans start to save themselves properly. It'll never be too late as Earth is always going to better than anywhere else for us.

Quick list of things hopeful in my feeds of the top of my head.

  • Renewable energy is the cheapest energy.
  • Agrivoltaics can increase yeilds while also providing power.
  • Home Solar & battery pay back time is coming down all the time.
  • Electric cars are the cheapest over their life time and the upfront costs are tumbling.
  • Electrification of more and more transport types is happening to save costs.
  • EVs are going V2H/V2G/V2X which means you get a large home (and office?) battery to take part in energy markets.
  • Second life EV batteries will eventury be a source of larger, cheaper, home batteries.
  • Just the other day another methane solution : https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/22/bacteria-that-eats-methane-could-slow-global-heating-study-finds
  • Fusion looks closer than 50 years out now.
  • RightToRepair + OpenSource is slowly spreading and will reduce life time costs and reduce e-waste. Regulators are waking up too.
  • Vertical farming is developing and will end up cheaper.
  • Lab meat or precision fermentation is a path to animal free animal protein at lower costs.
  • 5 minute cities as an idea is spreading.
  • Covid has normalized WFH
  • Green spaces in cities to cool them and improve mental health is increasingly being talked about and pushed in some forward thinking cities.
  • Peak population is constantly revised down and sooner. Once population starts to fall, it's not set to stop for a long time.

There is a lot of movement. It's all about aligning economics with fighting climate change. Which is natural as using less to do the same thing is better for both.

One thing that is a very good sign is oil companies are scared. They are spending a lot of money pumping out FUD. Doom peddling to slow climate action, but economics is against them. Even without climate damage being costed in. Which governments will do when oil is less powerful.

Fight the doom!

If it's Stock vs iOS, do you really care about privacy? Google is a data mining ad company, that's why their stuff is free. "If you're no paying for the product, you are the product". So Apple right? LOL no. Paying is no protection against being sold too. It's closed, you're never know, so they might as well make more money from you.

The only way is having any confidence in things is open source.

So I don't think iOS vs Stock matters. Android is more open, but all those root level closed Google services completely compromise the phone. They owned the phone.
