When you design an OS to pretend there's no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

The Kia Niro is pretty close, although if you're really serious about making it dumb you'll need to pull the cellular modem. It doesn't depend on any internet services, but it does connect to the internet to get nearby charger data.

"The Matrix" was released closer in time to the French Revolution than to today.

The lessons of the 20th century have mostly been forgotten. Re-learning them is going to be very expensive - not just in money, but in lives.

The issue isn't whether the "company cares".

It's whether they end users fix your own problems, or force you into techno-feudalism where the only way to get a problem fixed is to hope the company cares enough to fix it for you.

The simplest example of Nvidia completely failing here is old hardware support. AMD cards doesn't have that problem because the drivers are open source and upstream. These new Nvidia drivers don't sound like they'll help - they're not maintainable and therefore not upstreamable.

Yes, posts you make to public forums are public.

Obviously. What sort of moron wouldn't be prepared to defend themselves from angry bees or whatever Pooh was afraid of.

Oracle a company to actively avoid doing business with or realying on in any way.

Spend the $5 for a commodity VPS from literally any standard vendor. I suggest Vultr.

I tried doing a Mastodon user migration (to a Pleroma instance), and it basically just didn't' work. This is one of those thing where the code is likely to rot from lack of testing.

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

  • Mailcow, because email is identity.
  • Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
  • Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
  • ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
  • A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.
