Software 100% needs to be included in support.

Old devices that become vulnerable but still accessible on the internet, eventually become part of bot nets producing DDOS and other network attacks.

You think spare parts don’t cost money? Wearhouse space is expensive. Massive part stores have to be made. That’s all expense needed to take on by auto manufacturers. Why would software be different?

Either that or they keep all the tooling, which again is expensive. And people need to know how to use the tooling too.

This isn’t a “it’d be nice” kind of patch. This is exactly how we get massive bot nets for DDOS attacks. Devices become vulnerable, scans go out on the internet looking for devices they can exploit, and when they do, they gather bot nets.

It’s also not creating something new. It’s fixing your shit. They don’t have to create the entire software stack from scratch, just fix the exploit. If they can’t reasonably do that, then these devices need to be taken offline.

This is why a number of countries have laws saying spare parts must be made available for a number of years past being sold. Well beyond what the warranty is.

How is this significantly different?

We build real community. That’s the answer to all of it.

If we all feel we own the park, we’ll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else’s) problem.

How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.

Also, land back isn’t about ownership, it’s about stewardship. If we were community focused, we’d understand that, and maybe even participate in it.

How do we do justice? We let community decide what’s best.

Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.

How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.

It’s not about heorarchy, it’s about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just “friends”, not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.

Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That’s their right as a people. There’s a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don’t want it.

My problem is there’s an assumption that you know what’s best for people, rather than self determination of peoples.

You think it’s a BS line because even in US and Canada at least (where I’m most familiar with). We’re still under (though to a much lesser extent) authoritarianism.

The Government knowingly executed a probably innocent man.

The victims family, and even the prosecution, admits they got it wrong.

How is this not authoritarianism if the state can execute innocent people?

Just because you can vote, doesn’t mean you have power.

Again, not really sure what point your trying to make?

So then the trend is getting reder with time then? I don’t see your point.

It’s not saying 100% of people always vote red. But the majority have for a VERY long time.

It is yes. There’s no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.

That’s NOT the same as ad blocking.

Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.

Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

I’d recommend you sign up for their mailer. I don’t have the link off hand but it shouldn’t be hard to find.

Can you at least see how both statements are whataboutism?

Yes that should be more talked about. So that makes this article invalid?

Again, ghost is actively working on this?

So two things

Activity pub is federation. So you’d be publishing to anywhere. Which as I said before, ghost is actively working on. They have a weekly mailer.

If your looking for an algorithm publishing centre, your going to find open source to be lacking. Generally speaking people who are looking for open source, don’t want the algorithmic feeding that your describing.

I self host ghost but they do offer a hosted version. It’s open source as well. They’re even working on activity pub integration!

Except this whole article doesn’t apply to android. Android AFAIK has 0 announced plans to do this. So why is it a concern?

When it comes to iPhones, it’s not a shouldn’t, it’s a can’t.

The way iOS limits background process means you can’t. I develop for iOS apps for a living.

There’s still you should never under any circumstances allow unsupported devices to be exposed to the internet or any way. Because that’s how we get bot nets causing DDOS attacks.

An iPhone is not going to be that. This isn’t phones in general doing this, just iPhones.

There are also far more efficient devices for that. More cost effective and more energy efficient.

I understand wanting to reuse old devices for something, but there’s a limit to what is power efficient as well.

See it’s not about posting slop for slop sake. It’s so when the account become some kind of shill it has “legitimate” history to say they’re not a shill.

How can buisness be done with a power so volatile?
