Thanks for sharing. Was looking for something like this so I don't need to have multiple beefy gaming PC's.
XMPP / Jabber with OMEMO encryption. Lots of free servers and clients.
Same here! Rolling old Thinkpads because of the Linux compatibility, price and reparability is hard to beat. Would like to support the good companies more, but like the tinkering.
Our talk made me think about the ethics of tech companies in general. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a 'Tech Companies Ethics Index' kinda like Phoronix/Toms Hardware Guide is for hardware, but which documents and compare tech on fx the following consumer relevant parameters:
- Privacy
- Security
- Openness / FOSS / EEE
- User friendliness
- Reparability
- Other?
Sources could be: privacyguides, EFF, FSF, iFixit usere own experience and so on.
It could be run by users who also contribute to a git something and site something.
I know Lenovo is no angel but still a single piece of sand compared to the vast desert of Microsoft in terms of bad bahaviour.
We deserve System76, Tuxedo, Framework, PineBook etc. And if that doesn't suit the use case a used Thinkpad, Macbook (a sandbox in the analogy) or Dell is OK options. There's IMHO plenty of options that's better than the desert of Microsoft 🙂
Agree on privacy. And why bother when Intel/AMD have their Management Engine (ME) and AMD their equivalent.
But why support a company like Microsoft when they have a long history of prioritizing profit over user freedom (FOSS/EEE), security and privacy?
+1 Have been looking for one in a while without any luck.
Yeah you're right. But I thought it would make sense, instead of specific RSS clients.
I love e-ink. Should be on my list.
Nice! Have been looking for a Usenet reader!
Yeah, they could have taken the high road compared to Google and Amazon, but were like: Hold my beer.
Markor on Android, nvim on Linux and sync with syncthing. Using markdown.

I think bluetooth or 2.4 mhz is better than IR. Coming to think of it mine is a china something with keyboard on the side and remote on the other using 2.4 mhz. So point of line is not needed which is nice.
