I wanted something that’s more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy’s advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it’d be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.

E-ink smartphones like Mudita Kompakt seem pretty interesting, as the e-ink probably makes certain media unusable.

Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don’t use it, but I know it’s important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.

There’s also something about escaping Android.

Unfortunately there’s this post too: https://blog.bananahackers.net/farooqkz/on-the-state-of-kaios-and-bananahackers-community-as-of-summer-of-2023

Many “council” members have lost interest in developing for KaiOS. Many have not and believe this OS will live on and cover a minority of the market

But now, in 2023, this mobile Operating System seems to be on the verge of death. Not only KaiOS 3.0 is out but also KaiOS 3.1 is also out. But there is no device which is available worldwide. Only few carrier-locked devices for North America.

Here’s a demo of the cloud youtube playing https://youtu.be/2VPQ_3SAKi0?t=85 It looks tolerably legible to me. Definitely OK for playing music or dunno, watching soccer recaps or tech videos

These feature phones are aimed at people living in countries who don’t have this privilege. If all I could afford is a 20 EUR phone I’d be pretty happy with having the cloud apps that I normally couldn’t be able to use. I’m sure that the executives at HMD don’t ask themselves “are we not violating the definition of the dumbphone?”, they’re trying to make their product attractive to sell the most units. And apparently the ability to watch YT or check cricket scores (the cloud apps), and in the future maybe WhatsApp, are just that.

Though yeah, my post is more about feature phones, not real dumbphones as I originally wrote in the title.

also, how does it even run a web browser when the whole device has just 128 MB RAM. will the device crash if I load up facebook. com?

The heavy lifting is offloaded to the servers (“cloud”), I think. The data you receive is how to draw the elements in the remote browser.

I wrote this by hand. It’s a fact list because I don’t want the research I’ve done to be lost. Does Deepseek find videos with links to a timestamp?

The vest’s color and texture speaks “countryside” while the shirt, trousers and tie speak “evening in a city”, because one is coarse and the others have sheen or are black

I’d probably swap out the vest for something made out of a smoother material. Also supposedly it’s a faux pas to match your pocket square to your tie exactly.

Try adding a dimple as you tie the tie

Most of the apps rely on contributors to provide supported locations. I was wondering if a dumb app where you provide the GTFS zip url of your city would be useful. Could work if you stay in your city a lot

e.g. most of what you see on https://www.transit.land/map#3.46/47.78/12.46 is GTFS (hopefully public urls)

Read the The rollout of Login 2.0 for our customers se tion in the linked post

I think they resell https://www.open-xchange.com/ so they were dependent on them accomodating Keycloak (identity solution used by mailbox)

Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi

If you just want the tunnel encryption you can try hosting a VPN on your own home network. It’s what I do since I don’t need to spoof my location.

You are asking in the piracy community so I’m assuming you’re also using it to torrent (which a home VPN won’t help with) but you didn’t specifiy so I’m not sure

Did you try the new 2FA experience they have in beta? https://mailbox.org/en/post/beta-program-starts

Just turn on the mailbox beta in the account settings and you can get regular TOTP when logging into the webui

Hate to be that guy but Euro what, apples, oranges? You can’t join a currency. Did you mean eurozone? You have a degree in journalism right?

Closest I’ve seen was rooting a printer via a security exploit

“Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World” by Vivek H. Murthy

Been looking for something to read after “Bowling Alone”. “Together” is not as dry-sciency as the book by Putnam though it jumps to “evolutionary psychology” conclusions too quickly at times. The anecdotes are so overly positive that sometimes they’re hard to believe.

My personality for the longer while has been “guy who read Bowling Alone recently”. I started to drink cofee at the bar rather than go sit down. I’ve watched Quadrophenia (set in 1964) recently and the scene with the big ballroom dance party (i.e. people socializing) gave me “look what they took from you” vibes.

I enjoy this headline writing style. Imagine if we turned “try these 7 tricks” headlines into “Dionysius I of Syracuse would like you to try these”

Niestety chyba żaden PKS nie ma GTFS

People shit on it for lack of dkim verification (mail spoofing) but it’s ok for me. If you enable beta in the setting you can even log into the webui with a normal OTP for 2fa instead of the pin+yubikey tap weird one they had before

Boli mnie że rządowy CMS GovPress na którym stoi praktycznie każda (samo)rządowa strona nawet nie ma wsparcia dla RSS. Govpress jest utrzymywany przez Centralny Ośrodek Informatyki (coi.gov.pl) Govpress to np. aktualności Ministerstwa Zdrowia ( https://www.gov.pl/web/zdrowie/wiadomosci)

“Uprzejmie informujemy, że system Govpress nie wspiera kanałów RSS.”

W FreshRSS jest np. opcja stworzenia własnego feedu RSS czyjejś strony scrapując ją Xpathem ale to strasnzie toporne. Robię tak na prezydent.pl bo też nie ma feedu
