It’s not, but it does have a cryptocurrency you can opt-in to if you want. I don’t recommend that, but I think Brave is fine as Chromium browsers go.

Eh, I think it’s simple, they want people to sign up for free, and then forget about the subscription once it starts charging. I don’t think selling data is the priority here, but maybe they do that too.

That’s fine, just use ChatGPT…

You can run it rootful, then it behaves just like Docker.

I never said it wasn’t capitalist, just that being bad nonprofit should afford a little more leniency when it comes to “free labor.” Matrix is FOSS, the Matrix foundation exists to drive its development, and its whole point is to provide a replacement for exploitative products. Such an organization soliciting donations makes a ton of sense, and donations can take the form of code, money, or even free labor (moderation).

So yeah, I’m absolutely willing to give them a pass on asking for such donations, and I think they should replace some of the money they’re spending on moderation w/ more development time.

My understanding is that Matrix is a nonprofit.

I’m suggesting that their balance sheet looks off. Matrix should primarily be spending money on developers and infrastructure.

The boss earning what seems to be $170k isn’t a ton for that position, and it’s a fairly small piece of the pie. Even if the boss took no pay, they’re still spending a lot of money on non-development and hosting tasks. I would like to see “Other Staff” increase at the expense of everything except hosting costs.

What’s with the “Trust and Safety” bit? And are the events really necessary?

Edit: okay, it and “Trust and Safety” has something to do with moderation. They could probably get volunteers to do a lot of that though.

What, and add to the climate crisis with more single use plastics?

There are some 7-8" tablets that could probably fit in a pocket, but finding the perfect mix of Linux compatibility and cell chip is going to be difficult.

However, I see a few Linux tablets out there that have to be all runs, because Linux tablets are a pretty small niche, so it might not be that expensive to build one yourself.

Domain registration and renewal is at cost, and DNS is free. I’m not sure what’s detrimental to the internet about that…

My paid hosting is elsewhere, so they’re not making any money off me.

Lol, that’s some dangerous waters you’re treading in.

I use it for DNS and domain hosting, but that’s it, none of their proxying stuff.

Sounds like a tablet, and that very well could be easier for someone to build than a phone.

Why eSim? Does your carrier not support physical sim?

Yeah, I’d totally buy a phone running one of those provided it does all the phone things properly: SMS/MMS, reliable calls, all day battery, etc. I don’t need fancy apps, I just need a working phone.

If I can get that, I could probably donate some time porting apps.

some article summaries can be quite dense

Well yeah, that’s the point of a summary. If I want something in long form, I’ll read the article.

Yeah, it’s frustrating. We need to end Qualified Immunity pronto.

This already largely works, at least on Android. I use RethinkDNS, which allows me to filter stuff already, and comes included with a host of DNS filters out of the box.

I don’t need MS, Google, or Apple to do it, just make it possible to install a third-party app that does it. That way I get to decide which tool I think works best instead of whatever the OEM decides.

As a parent, I’m with you.
