Excellent! Hoping for Jolla someday too!

Personally, I’d love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.

Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn’t include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).

They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).

They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.

Makes little difference now since Xperia abandoned the US entirely – but the last few years they were in the US, Xperia US devices were locked down.

Who watches the watcher’s watcher?

A significant chunk of privacy enthusiasts are libertarians like Brave’s CEO. I think there’s some level of “same team” trust going on there.

True, but the thing is that the people in power will still complain about increased fraud if and when it happens and point to the government as irresponsible custodians of personal data.

The more likely result from removing 230 (depending on how it was removed) is actually that all moderation stops. Moderation is what makes the companies liable without 230, so they just wouldn’t do it (and wouldn’t allow users to do it either). Any open community site would quickly become a cesspool. Small private closed communities would become the norm.

juggling more money than their pre-AI boom market cap by a wide margin

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Nvidia carries a vanishingly small amount of debt for its size. It has way more liquidity than debt.

It won’t collapse. It’ll lose a huge chunk of its stock price, but it both has other business to fall back on and its chips will still likely be used in whatever the next tech trend is - probably neural network AI or something.

Industry growth. Turns out it’s a lot easier to “think of the children” when the industry is small and niche than it is when it’s making investors billions of dollars a year. Turns out capitalism makes problems harder to solve once the problem itself makes money (see also: tax preparation)

That’s also why the moral panic people switched from trying to censor games through government to trying to do it via finance (e.g. Collective Shout lobbying banks, credit cards, and payment processors).

Though if your question is about why the contrast between moral panic over game content and the lack of moral panic over actual victimization — I think that’s always been the case, unfortunately. People seem more fearful of their children losing their morals than they are of people with no morals harming their children.

Methane is just the primary compound in natural gas.

Some, as prepping the carbon and hydrogen will take energy. But it wouldn’t be hard to be way better than the emissions associated with dairy farming for butter. Cost could still be higher, though depending on how much material is needed for the process.

Is TwinAphex still involved in Libretro? Can’t seem to find evidence of them from the last few years.

The founder is a well-known Christian “pro-life feminist” from Australia.

It’s easy enough to fork the code as it existed under GPL3. Violentmonkey did that when they forked from Tampermonkey.

This dev also doesn’t sound like he wants to put much effort into enforcing his license in the first place.

High likelihood this just some AI bot with no oversight fucking up than something malicious. Outlook.com’s support system is atrocious and devoid of humans at this point unless you’re an enterprise.

I tried to go through their support to tell them their junk filter was fucking up (bank alerts being marked as junk with no way to override) and got nowhere after like two months. Had to change the email I use for banking.
