Age verification is really just about identity verification. "Show us your papers" version of the internet.

My head already has:

  • LVM - Logical Volume Management
  • LLVM - Low Level Virtual Machine

LLM keeps keep corrupted in my mouth by those two.

Agreed. Do all the things!

Completely agree, but I don't see that as either or. We need both. This is the coolest summer we might have in our life times. I'm genuinely concerned we are getting ready fast enough of what is coming. I mean it could swing the other way if the gold stream stops, or we need to deal with crazy cold, and maybe crazy hot.

We know this is the norm for summer now and only going to get worse. We can't rebuilt all our buildings for this new climate, but we can retrofit active cooling. We need a nation program of ACs for hospitals and schools. 25 years is a target far to far into the future.

Aircon is an air to air heatpump. Normally they can run in either direction.

That is also because we let the companies get too big. We need to break them up. The market is completely dysfunctional. It is feudalism right now.

There are, but the market is rigged by monopolists. And things like banks increasingly require apps that won't even run on customer Android ROMs easily.

The regulators are needed here.

Until it was dominant and could abuse that power to squeeze everyone.

I'd argue this is dumping.

Not just Amazon either. A good few of the American monopolies. AI spending is the pattern repeating and it is a dark pattern for everyone.

Might be like the AMD BC-250 discarded from crypto. Hopefully! https://bc250.info/

Have been a while. The American tech monopolies and their awful business practices have been with us decades. Been "too big to fail" and "too big to jail" for a while. Just now it's in everyone's faces.

Sounds like an argument for wallets. Digital or with cash.

 

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.

I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.

So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!

 

So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.

But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.

So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.

The state of the phone market is pitiful.
