By that logic, any site that allows to display third party content is a phishing/spam site and should be blocked - including twitter, facebook, HN and of course gmail.

I'm glad you enjoy our dystopian world.

Good for Denmark, it doesn't exist here. Plus, there is no way I will install a proprietary banking app. For this to be acceptable, it needs to be a standard and have multiple impl…

And for people often saying it's a solution in search of a problem : that's why we need cryptocurrencies. At least, the ones that could be used as actual currencies. It would be so…

Nope, there's no option for that in phosh settings. Actually, it's the compositor (phoc) that starts gnome-session in /usr/bin/phosh. I've just tried to edit the startup script to …

For reference, this was the post, in case you come around the author : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25101199

Thanks for mentioning it. How does fluxbox works on mobile? Is it basically the same than the desktop on a small resolution, or it can receive phone calls and have a notification b…

For the record, I received yesterday the new mainboard that will be in those phones to replace the one of my pinephone UBport edition. The boost in RAM (3gb instead of 2gb) does th…

> If you're skilled I'm sure you can find a company that you can put in 10 hours per week at Do you have real world experience with that? I found on the contrary that the more skil…

I'm on Gentoo myself, but for people coming from MacOS, I would recommend to give KDE Neon a try. It's based on Ubuntu, but made by interfacers (the KDE team). I have used it for a…

So basically, on a planet whose surface is covered mainly by oceans, a meteorite fall in an urban area, is big enough not to disintegrate in the atmosphere and small enough not to …

Not any bigger than package repositories on linux distributions, which include the list of all known software and sometimes even rules how to build them. It's just plain text. If I…

They're basically just promising they won't be bad guys, which solves nothing. The proper way to implement their feature without causing privacy issues would be to periodically upd…

That's awesome. Great job!

Hi, thanks for taking questions. What is the state of the phone call/sms/mms support in Plasma Mobile on Pinephone? Also : will the CE edition be some sort of Neon mobile, or will …

I think the main reason they can afford pricing their services that high is because of peer pressure - probably itself the result of clever marketing, or that would be a really hap…

I usually search for documentation or tech problems in a text browser with cookies disabled, no js, no css, using tor and using an empty user agent. I won't try to guess why, but t…

Indeed. Or even make sure to integrate Patreon (or other donation applications) to any privacy-friendly video application. I have a Twitch account just to have a paid subscription …

Peertube comes to mind for discoverability. For ensuring content creators revenue, the best way would probably be to host their own website and put videos behind paywall or accept …

Here goes all the privacy-friendly ways to watch Youtube. Well, I guess it's a good thing : now we'll have to campaign to let content creators know how terrible their choice of pla…

I would be very funny to discover they lose their source code :) A more serious reason I could think of : maybe pine64 is trying to convince them to do just that, and this contest …

This is also very efficient guerrilla marketing. Instead of asking users to tell their friends about your brand, you can make a lottery making them win t-shirts with your logo on i…

It's only a cosmetic change from a tech point of view of course, but from non-tech point of view, maybe it would be safer to say it's a youtube offline player than a youtube video …

Oh yes, I'm not saying those are bad projects. What they have in common is that migrating from previous version to them was especially difficult and painful. The few symfony develo…
