Anyone have any updates on why this device can’t support or get behind Graphene OS? A repairable and secure phone is my desired option for a phone that’s truely mine and I’m sure this is true for many others also.

From my understanding it’s not there as the Graphene team says that fairphone haven’t taken security hardware seriously and there’s key hardware security features missing that means they are not even interested to look at supporting the device.

Keen for latest updates on this, happy to be corrected.

Proton is activity enshitifying and has introduced dark patterns to their onboarding process. Suggest you deprecate them from your recommend list until they come clean and step away from this dirty business we’ve been seeing.

Trust eroding on proton sadly.

The multiple nudges just turned into a shove.

I’ll now be actively enacting plans to move on and be sure to support family and friends, even non tech savvy ones, to do the same.

When you think they can’t fall further, they do.

Looks like a great app and cleverly implemented for data privacy.

We’ve avoided nothing. This warning is literally coming before the debt has come due. The timeless warning of unpaid debt.

Watch the movie Two Hands for but one example.

Sooo… Big Upfront Design then. We already know why that didn’t work; nothing to do with the dev, this didn’t work because the users wants evolve and so code needs to be written to allow for flexible continuous improvement.

We’re just three months in and already there’s plenty wobble.

Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49357401

I’d say that True open hardware remains a worthy objective.

Article was cheekily silent that this really likley became news cause it ended up on HN front page.

Good to see tho.

Shameful acts.

Having a BIOS update BRICK the device isnt 'just one issue', they clearly need to do more work to protect devices from this, they can choose what they add but the BIOS needs a safer fallback and recovery process, that much is clear.

Definitley worthy of even an extra $1-2 per laptop if needed.

At the conceptual level, unionising is simply a group of workers gathering into a group and saying we want to negotiate as a group. Usually this is done by workers to improve conditions and to have a better say when they’ve been being ignored or worse, poorly treated.

Union recognition is then the company accepting that the union exists and then agreeing to meet and engage with it.

Not accepting it, is usually a crappy corporate move in an attempt to not have workers collaborating together.

Lots of research shows that generally places where unions exist have better work conditions and perform better over the long term.

The US has lower union involvement than in many countries.

How tightly regulated is investment margin lending in the US?

Arch, btw.

Lenovo has already broken rank and Windows is now a paid extra add-on, the default being a popular Linux distro pre-installed unless you wanna pay extra.

The majority of their range is now provided this way.

The reality, Linux is now good enough for students and grandpa alike, plenty of customers who now wouldn’t give a toss to pay the extra price for the Microsoft branded OS.

With Ms Office barely existing anymore the old lock-in is increasingly tenuous.

I want a workflow where i can plug in my SD card, open Dadkroom, click a button or two and all photos are pulled onto my computer and then once definitely there the SD card is deleted.

I struggled a little to get this import workflow setup nicely, any tips on settings and config to achieve nice import workflow?

Once I’m dealing with duplicates I start to wigg out!

Loved it until I saw its using Bitcoin. With proof of work doesn’t it tie this project to a bit of an environmental nitemare? Bitcoin isn’t the best place for this, no?

I would have imagined Ethereum or some other ledger would have been better no?

Anyone with more crypto ledger knowledge be able to say what I’m trying to say more precisely.

Be nice to not have to deal with that one guy who didn’t close their window when it’s dark cabin time on long multi-Timezone flights; leaving the sun to blare in when you’re really trying to get some shut eye.

You undervalue our collective momentum.

The speed with which many of us respond when a tech company does something really stupid is a key reason that things are not even shitter.

Ai detected. Not good. Not readable. Slop.

The season three issues are addressed in the article. I’m looking forward to what they have in mind for season 4.

What a nitemare to read. I stuck with it but wished after I didn’t. Reminds me of a 2.5 star movie that I watch to the end but am so annoyed as the credits roll.

Yes there is a dissonance, using LLMS just took their dot point notes and spread them thin. I personally would prefer just the notes and some personal anecdotes to tie the notes into a cohesive whole. This, this approach here, is not better.

I can see the Signal Messaging app icon in the product shots. Does it have first class support for Signal in addition to What’s app that’s being predominately promoted.

Seems to be running Lineage OS, so I’m a little hopeful but looking for certainty as WhatsApp is profile so significantly and Signal is not otherwise mentioned.

During the press conference he finished with a light joke that was something like “after all it’s meant to be Street Easy not Street Hard”. I assumed that was an app, your post unintentionally closed the loop for me!

Agree AI modified listing make no sense to allow; regulation here is making up for platform failure.

I don’t read it that way. I think they are just cutting the edges of what are “the core tools” of the stack in different places.

This projects ability to introduce conventions cause there is a framework underlines its potential value.

If folks that are experimenting across any of these tools start to choose to begin from this framework first; then there’s really opportunities for this to grow. Either way I’d suggest that’s a good focus for them to measure success.

Coming from Rails, which I’m sure informes part of the philosophy I really like this.

One design value of Rails is “Convention over configuration”, or what I sometimes explain as smart defaults over having to decide everything.

I see this is an area this project can help with; thought through folder and naming conventions; wrestling with issues at the seem between common tools. Making doing things the right way way (like database migrations) becomes the easiest way to do it; most of the time.

A bundle of smart conventions and ways of working that cuts down yak shaving and sometimes solves arguments as the project can be; well we thought on this a lot more than most of you and we’ve gone with this approach to stick these together and if you only half care now you can get this done for free for your apps.

Interesting manufacturing story that does sound pretty crappy.

To bring it across to Andon and Lean, Deming literally addressed this as one of his 14 points of quality management that Lean manufacturing follows:

Point 11. Eliminate numerical quotas for the workforce and numerical goals for management.

What’s important here is not that there are buttons in a factory but rather the culture that goes along with their usage.

Point 8. Drive out fear, seems relevant here also.

Sorry you experienced this.

I’m pretty sure EVERYONE is covered under the public system, a levy is added in the car rego fee that is the funding mechanism. You don’t need to be a driver to be covered.

In Australia we have very strong consumer protection law, here it’s expected (by the bank usually) the landlord has at least a minimum “landlord insurance” that covers all that stuff.

For anything not covered, where a tenant does damage thats what the bond is for.

Renter insurance should be optional.

Actually I’m surprised that landlord insurance is not already occurring, imagine a building with 100 apartments, I’m sure the bank would ask the landlord to have a single cover over 100’s of little crappy policies.

If renter insurance is required by regulations, this is likley another good target for policy change.

Americans really do get screwed in so many ways.

If they don’t make a statement on it, I’d be very cautious in trusting this team.
