Oh wow will definitely give that book a read, very interesting.

I've recommended that book on this board before. If you read it, I'd be curious about how you think it hits now, because part of its interest - I'd say insightfulness, at the time, but it now might risk anachronistic "charm" - was noting similar emergent behaviors between telegraph operators and early internet adopters. The technical content won't have dated, but the social parts may have.

Been hearing about this project for years, nice to see that it's gaining traction! Only question is that if they use captured Co2 initially or if they have to produce it.

Enabled webgl/webgpu and it still doesn't work on my end with Librewolf

You boil water :)

Personally I'd think its different, smartphone apps usually have tons of dark patterns and are designed to always be with you versus a desktop or even a laptop.

Remove Google Play, install F-Droid instead with curated list of apps and games.

Curated by who?

Haven't used matrix for a few years now, last time I used it everything was a slow, buggy mess.

Kinda weird because it's a protocol, but then again matrix is extremely centralized.

IMO banning smartphone sales to kids and teens would be far more productive than digital ID shenanigans.

Children and teens don't buy their own smartphones, they get them from their parents.

Read the Great Taking book, it's a bit kooky in some places but a good read nonetheless.
