NGram

They submitted kernel patches for (at least some) support of the FP6 the day it released. The preinstalled OS isn’t FOSS though a good few FOSS OSs/distros support their older phones (and presumably the FP6 eventually).

So the answer is… sort of? Personally I just think they’re just FOSS-friendly

If anyone still has a Reddit account, ask them to hold an AMA on here too.

Also, the irony of having a BuyFromEU space on a USA-run and -funded website is fun.

There’s at least two limitations that they’ve mentioned before with shipping outside of Europe.

First is they need extra certifications (e.g. FCC ones for selling to the USA), which are expensive and basically redundant. Probably not worth the business cost to do it and maintain it.

Second is they do carbon neutral shipping, which is hard to do when you have to cross an ocean. I know in Canada our national postal service can do carbon neutral for packages, but figuring that out for every country and the international legs of the shipping is a lot of work.

Part of the cost of being ethical is being at a disadvantage with capitalism, so while they’re doing pretty alright they aren’t going to grow like big tech did.

They only used a weird chip for one generation (the last generation; 5)

I’ve got a backup of it, as others should too if they’ve got their own git forge https://git.ngram.ca/mirrors/lapd-face-search

Yup, this is open weights just like DeepSeek. Open source should mean their source data is also openly available, but we all know companies won’t do that until they stop violating copyright to train these things.

Thanks for letting us know to delete Telegram!

Is Revolt federated? I thought it was only FOSS

If you’re going to misinterpret the scope of “whatever they want” at least be creative about it. I think they meant they wanted to be able to install tractors on their iPhone. Bonus points if it made cool transformer noises.

Clearly they actually meant any iPhone program/app.

Being against your work supporting genocide seems pretty work-related to me. At best, it’ll just destroy their company culture (not that I’m convinced it’s good to start with). Optimistically, I hope everyone who’s hard to replace quits and finds a better job somewhere that cares about more than infinite financial growth.

I’ve mirrored it to my own git server too https://git.ngram.ca/mirrors/cdrm-project I will ignore DCMAs because I (and the server) don’t live in the USA.

We are discussing what someone would use when writing about a hypothetical person.

And that changes it how? It’s insulting to misgender someone, though I can understand how you’d think that there’s no harm in insulting someone hypothetical.

I suggest you do some research on the history of language

Per your suggestion, “they” has been used to refer to a singular person since the 14th century. “He” is currently masculine-only. I apologize if you misunderstood my use of “never” to refer to things around the 18th and 19th century (when it apparently was considered bad to use “they” in the singular) when I presumed that there was an implicit limit to modern usage of English.

Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.

This sounds like open weights but not actually open source (which requires an open training set), but we can only hope they are true to their promises when they actually release it. Bonus points if they also release how much energy they wasted to train it and how much energy it wastes to run it.

Regular smart watches are such a luxury good that I’m surprised they’ve been growing up until last year. Realistically most people don’t need a smart phone that’s more than like $300 and I can’t imagine spending more than that on a smart watch which just duplicates most of the features of a smart phone (and adds a few more sensors if you’re lucky).

The rise in kids smart watches is a bit alarming to me, though. If the reason for it is truly that parents want to track their kids more, that’s really bad for the kids for two big reasons. First being that kids need to learn how to behave without their parents always watching, and second is that if the parent can see where the kid is then probably so can the company who made the smart watch. Maybe they’ll make a smartwatch which sends location data over something like the Signal protocol to mitigate 3rd party tracking, but I doubt there’s a big enough demand for that for any of the major companies to do that on their own.

Just don’t host it with a USA company.

Twitch Plays Pokemon is still better

Interestingly the article about steganography does not mention the term even once.

Victims are all SOL, in more ways than one

If you (or anyone else) has any suggestions for emulators/tools to mirror, send them my way. I already have a few on my Forgejo server https://git.ngni.us/mirrors
