The Internet is a bunch of Autonomous Systems running open protocols like BGP. Packets have no passports.

Not energy. Just electricity. Fossil remains at 80+% of primary energy use.

What’s a reddit?

Dark Forest is not self consistent. Ability to travel implies nanotechnology which allows metabolizing any resource which deterministically leads to expansion which leads to self-selection for fastest expanders which soon means relativistic expansion which is hard to observe since observation window is short while pre-expansive observers are extinguished. Alernative is that nucleation density is very low and/or (reaching the stage of) travel and expansion is impossible. This is consistent with what we see, so Occam’s razor cuts Dark Forest.

Take a look at the security functions the Pixel platform hardware provides. It isn’t optional.

GrapheneOS is Android though.

I’ve also thought of that option, since it offers flexibility and allows better receiver placement.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was thinking of continous, transparent position fix acquisition.

While I use Vanadium, it doesn’t support the basic Firefox plugins.

To hell. In a handbasket.

You still don’t?

Dunno, for now Ironfox and Vanadium as a fallback work for me on mobile. I’m open to alternative browsers when the upstream fails.

No use cases for this so far.

Mobile service quality is defined by the baseband, which is an immutable blob to the OS. I phone rarely and currently use my old LineageOS phone for it.

I’ve got a support case for my Pixel 7a open due to potential battery issue. If I return it I will buy a different, bigger (6.7") Pixel model. My new Pixel tablet is doing fine so far.

I use tablets to read things when lying down, so notebooks don’t fit.

Matrix (Element), Signal, Telegram. Other stuff probably requires Google services which I don’t use on the tablet. Phone has Google services, but I don’t really use it for messaging other than Signal.

I’m on GrapheneOS on tablet/phone for time being, but I’m fine going back to a dumphone and a Linux or BSD tablet or convertible.

The Keeling Curve and lately the isotopic composition is telling you everything you need to know. The only “good” news is that we’re at the extraction limit.

The Internet is a bunch of Autonomous Systems running open source protocols. It is doing fine.

Supports Linux apps poorly.

Their ChromeOS tablets suck as well. The only reason for me to buy Google hardware is to put GrapheneOS on it.
