Its like a game of Ludo when everybody is chasing you and breathing down your neck.

Great fun. Ludo, that is.

Going to Disneyland, buying that doll, having that retro console, collecting all the items in the set, buying that vintage car, getting a fat hog to crank it up with...

Its melancholic nostalgia, having the things we could never have when we were young.

One runs a mailbox app on any old disused android phone, it temporary stores content and deliver it to the main unit once the connection is restored.

Bit simpler to install an app and scan a qr code for the average user compared to even configuring an XMPP client IMO.

NC have modules for both gPodder sync and RSS. The RSS reader has been refactoring for ages so I just run FreshRSS instead but the NC module should work just fine.

You're quite right, I've forgotten how frustrating it was not knowing if I could get a hold of a replacement if my daily driver custom ROM Android gave up the ghost back when custom ROMs weren't as widely supported as now.

I thought Ubuntu Touch was dang near useable years ago, what someone considers "daily drivable" is probably subjective. If dumb phones had a web browser I'd probably settle for that as I self host and every service has a WebUI.

I don't need desktop linux to "take off", I've happily used it for a decade. I don't need mobile linux to become mainstream. I just need it to be a bit better than it currently is.

Sounds like good news for mobile linux!

Vivaldi sends an unstoppable user counter signal to their main server, promised to change the system and now they're ignoring any requests for updates on the issue.

That rustles my Jimmies, dings my bell and waves my red flags.

As someone who routinely used to sink thousands of hours into games, and by that I mean 3000 hrs. on R6-3, 2500 hrs. on Squad and so on, the predatory practices of Microsoft, Steam and game developers have just turned me off gaming completely.

Truly a sign of absolute madness.
