I wish more would use self hosted solutions like Forgejo (or a gitweb if they don't need a complex system) and simply mirror their projects on codeberg and github for the exposure.

Gentoo apparently do it that way already:

I would stay away from ARM, you'll have much more compatibility with an x64 cpu from AMD or Intel.
In Sweden Lenovo are currently having a clearance sale 50% on the P14s AMD Gen 5 with 8840HS, if you have the same in your country it's great value.

"Nothing" experiments with lock screen ads

If you haven't heard of Nothing, I don't blame you. The Android phone company made waves back in 2022, largely on the back of its founder, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, but it only recently started making phones on par with flagship devices like the Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy. Mostly, the brand has instead become known for its mid-range accessories and budget phones, which pack in a lot of power for their price points, but otherwise stand out through trendy and minimalistic designs. It's a smaller market, but a loyal one.

That's why it's a bit odd to see the company put both its minimalism and fandom at risk by putting ads on its lock screens, via a new "Lock Glimpse" feature.

Added in Nothing OS 4.0 late last week, when turned on, the feature will show you one of a rotating selection of wallpapers, which all feature linked content via text at the bottom of the image. For instance, a wallpaper showing a strawberry sundae might look spiffy, but in practicality, it's essentially an ad for a page with a strawberry ice cream recipe.

Started with Windows 7 I'd say.

Fairphone with /e/OS, but ive heard /e/OS is apparantly not that secure.

e/OS is privacy focused, not security focused

Google Pixel with GrapheneOS, but with this one I still need to buy from Google.

A simple solution here to avoid feeding the monster would be to buy a Pixel second hand

Linux phones, but I’m concerend they dont support all the apps i want to use.

I think you're right to be concerned, I wouldn't recommend using a Linux phone as a primary device just yet. By all means try it out on a secondary phone though!

It's the nature of the beast. Federated software holds no secrets.

I find using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hls-stream-detector/? makes it simple to grab streams url and download them using yt-dlp.

“Why are online discussions about politics more hostile than offline discussions?
A popular answer argues that human psychology is tailored for face-to-face interaction and people’s behavior therefore changes for the worse in impersonal online discussions…
Across eight studies, leveraging cross-national surveys and behavioral experiments (total N = 8,434), we test the mismatch hypothesis but only find evidence for limited selection effects.
Instead, hostile political discussions are the result of status-driven individuals who are drawn to politics and are equally hostile both online and offline.
Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.”

This fits with our understanding of personality disorders, which is that they are a small percentage of our society—around 10.5 percent, according to the recent DSM-5-TR.3

I try to avoid all politics online because it's all raging and it's honestly depressing that 10.5% can dominate a space like that.

Pfft, why argue the name of donut holes when you can create a trinut?
