GPD already makes such things, as does ClockworkPi. The Flipper One is exciting in significant part because it offers a different, smaller form factor.

Pretty sure from Google's standpoint, respecting privacy is a downside of local models. For them, the upside is using your compute rather than theirs.

Was initially excited about this project but their reticence to open source has really diminished that. The browser is far too critical a piece of personal infrastructure to be clo…

I on the other hand am fine with the premium price... but it looks like I'd need to install a proprietary app to use the service. That's a 'hell naw' from me.

Know what is super hard to do? Leave your house without being caught by someone else's Ring camera.

I like Kagi and pay for it. I've been impatiently waiting for Orion to come to Linux. But I won't run closed source. This is a huge disappointment.

> people just want to hate on Firefox While that may describe a few people, I don't think it fairly characterizes the backlash at all. I want to love on Firefox. I've been using it…

Make Firefox fully and exclusively a tool in service of the user. Eliminate - both in code and by policy - anything that compromises privacy. If a new feature or support of a new t…

I've got two of the Venstar Colortouch thermostats running locally with Home Assistant. They were spendy and their interface feels dated and clunky, but they've been totally reliab…

Ink/Stitch ( https://inkstitch.org/ ) is a F/OSS option for a lot of embroidery machines... maybe not hers, but worth a look.

I'd like to install and try this, but I don't use Google Play and it's not in F-Droid. Wish they'd just make an APK available.

I was just thinking similarly. I don't need any of these AI features and I'm certainly not about to start giving Adobe money, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.

I've been running Arch+Hyprland on my laptop for very nearly 1.5 years. For whatever reason, I've not had the negative experience you describe; it's run buttery-smooth and reliably…

I've been using (and paying for) Kagi since the beginning. For the first while, the search results were inarguably better than any alternative. I was thrilled and was recommending …

Right there with you. I sent them feedback to that effect and hope everyone else does, too. Manufacturers need to hear this from us routinely.

I like the idea and wouldn't mind paying to use it. That doesn't seem possible without allowing scripts from Google, Facebook, and Youtube, though, and I'm not interested in doing …

> CAD users don't necessarily need things to be open source... Open source is not in and of itself a goal. While there are certainly challenges to open source development, there ar…

The browser is, at this point, like a public utility. You can't get by without one. How is it okay to bake in privacy compromises?

Yeah, I've been using it since the early days of OwnCloud, both personally and professionally. Love it and don't understand the haters at all. It's not perfect but it's really damn…

It can also change after an election, and the impact can be retroactive. Vlad needs to walk that "criminal" comment WAY the hell back.

I'm a subscriber simply because their search is far better than any available alternative. That's the primary thing I want from them and so far they're delivering it at a cost I co…

How does it make sense to recommend Google Suite to someone unusually concerned with privacy?

Fast shipping and streaming were plenty sticky for me. I'm aware that Prime offers various other benefits, but I never cared about them at all. I paid for Prime for very many years…

Currently, I stan Firefox, but only because all other alternatives compromise my privacy and security so egregiously. Mozilla has been messing around for years and in many ways, so…

Definitely not just you. Often, though I know exactly the info required to find a message, Thunderbird comes up with no results. I've found that "repairing" the containing mailbox …
