Our economy will produce whatever the people with means to pay request. So lets take advantage of this mechanics. Why request some hardware brick, where most of the control over it belongs to a company still? We can just buy a Pixel phone and load #GrapheneOS or even buy a #Fairphone and load #murena s /e/-OS or plain Linux. We can buy hardware, where software can be owned. Why pay money one worked for, to rent hardware you will never own? Same counts for TV, cars, toothbrush, freezer or whatever. I really have no problem to ditch some minor comfort of most edge tech, when I can own my live in response. So maby my fridge does not do my groceries. Maby my phone can nur run every banking app. But maby this is, because I simply do not let myself manipulate in every misery someone would like to have me in. Maby I really like to stay in control. What is your preference? #asknostr

And I really need to smile often, when I read the word narrative in your notes. Do you belief the world consists only of narratives and incentives? I am sure these two parts maby form a final outcome a bit. But under the hood there is always hard facts, that form 90% of the world. Even when my imployer has the incentive for me to produce 10 times more every day. There is hard facts, that stop me from acchieving this. And those hard facts are everywhere. Be it in biology, be it in psychology. Be it in Physics. Be it in politics. Maby there are fields, where it is far harder to find these hard facts. But only because noone can figure them out does not mean, that they are inexistant. And I am most intrested in these hard facts. Incentives and narratives are a cheap mascarade.

maby qualify for a grant? I found the project yesterday. A dedicated person, to write firmware for the Fairphone 6, so all perpherials can be used with mainline Linux. Currently he can only work part time on this project. And given the pressure coming from google to close the android system, good options for Linux Mobile will be important. Since in the end with Google the vast majority of workforce stems from Google. Whatever part of Android that is not supported by Google is most likely to simply be abandoned completly. Linux on the other side has already an ecosystem of freedom developers to maintain packages on every abstraction level. So it can deliver more sustainable longterm freedom than Android ever could.

Puh. Quiet a heavy problem to solve. And it seems clear. As longer we wait for a solution to come up, as more costly it is. To me it looks like at some point there is no other way, than just lower healthcare for elders and they die miserably. And to hope it will become magically better than this is quiet unreasonable. So would it might be the best for all, to make this cut as soon as possible? View quoted note →
