Rarely can do, as free WiFi mostly just exist in like hospitals or such. And the apps that exist for other networks of their own “free” wifis need, you guessed right, net to begin with 😁
Not a real bummer for me though. If anyone can see that I went for a stroll in the park or went shopping, that is totally useless data.
Should I ever do something where privacy matters, the thing is off. I survived no net as a kid, I will survive it some hours.
Also I do need the app whobird outside or some bug identifier. We like to know new stuff.
Python, which means it brings in 2 gigs of dependencies
Yeah lol. That’s a bit overkill
Some say C++ was a conspiracy,
I wish most would still be done in CPP. The amount of total sluggish, unoptimized, library-relient crap is legion nowadays.
I was deep in the demo-scene once. Because they pushed a mashine to their limits. And they often showed what you COULD achieve. Then came winblows. And every clueless Joe became programmer, because it’s sooooo cool.
(I’m none, I just code for fun or necessity)
my own solution"s that are piled up at the back of my head while I do nothing productive.
I have the strong feeling you’re all but non-productive. Which also is very subjective. If everyone would be so mindful of (modern) tech, the world would be different. This alone I find very productive.
no longer have a checkbox for MAC randomization per networ
Oh great…I didn’t notice because I actually need fixed macs for my DHCP and for a front layer of security by only allowing known macs. Outside, that’s a different thing
would need root, and I won’t get into details this time but that breaks some of Graphene’s architectural assumptions.
Indeed. Understandably so. But usually I demand to be able to own the device I bought. Noone would accept their Win-PC without privileges. At least not the majority I HOPE.
I am (mostly) fine with the Lineage
I did use it very often. Back then it was vastly easier to root/unlock any phone. Stupid google and the stupid manufacturers kinda killed it. Now only the devil himself is left. I’m tired of bricking and trying for days, just to own the fucking thing. I’m tired, boss. Really tired.
I just use graphene because I wanted to see it before judging it. And as long as my pixel lives, it seems very fine. Zero google. As far as I can say.
ow many of them are doing microprocessors (not a lot), and how many aren’t owned by oligarchs (zero).
Yeah of course you’re totally right. But still. Using a pixel, I publicly advocate for the worst of the worst. One of the destroyers of privacy and the internet. And I loved them when they started. Until the slogan “dont be evil” fell…
But while you’re totally right, what is the practical alternative? I’m not professional enough (or motivated) to do it all myself. What could one buy that is not only decent-ish (I love a great camera without having to carry a DLSR) but also runs android apps (emulated or whatever) and is private and my own?
Sounds like a fantasy…
I mean, your current phone is the best one possible right now as a phone… The alternative is killing the gap between “don’t bring anything” and “bring a laptop”.
Also, apps for Wi-Fi? What the hell… Can you not just look up a Wi-Fi map for whatever authoritarian regime you live in?
I like to plan ahead…my pixel is aging, I wonder why it still lives.
A laptop would be great. In the size of an 8" device 😁
I dunno, I only know one vendor that has a broad offering of WiFi. And last time I checked, it needed an app. But I would never use random public wifis anyway.
Authoritarian regime? Judging by the Lemmy server you’re on, we’re in the same boat 😉
Oh, I am not in Germany. Sorry for calling it that. I’m in Ukraine. Chose this instance in Germany for various reasons, including the fact that it allows IPv6-only networks (like when my ISP fucks up again, or I fuck up again, and IPv4 gets unroutable). I was also looking for an 8inch laptop but they don’t make Librettos or those “internet appliance” ARM ewaste pieces anymore.
Ah okay, i just assumed you’re a kraut. Then again, my Zigbee-coordinators are ukranian, so that’s that :-)
I picked the next best, as i never though i’d stay.
I would also be fine with something like the nokia communicator from back then. just a bit more modern and open. Or even a blackberry without blackberry. The porsche P9100 (i think?) was a nice thing, i liked it. The thing itself though, not the OS nor the company.
8inch laptop would be something…with one of those tiny keyboards. Lovely.
Right… Those none of these are made anymore. Except some EXTREMELY overpriced “gaming” and/or Intel Atom devices straight from foxconn. Saw a listing for a Libretto 50ct with a broken backlight in Kyiv the other day, by the time I figured I actually want to commit to buying it the listing was gone. Reduced to atoms. Shouldn’t have been so indecisive… The seller also included a picture of it running Win95 with a VGA monitor, was funny to see a shortcut named “Kiev map” (old name) right next to an Internet Explorer icon shortcut that says “anime”.
Lol. That dude knew what he needed in live. Anime and a way home 😁
And yeah, informed purchases will often bite you in the ass. I usually take ages to come to a decision after weighing in as many factors as I could. By then it’s often sold out, EoL or more expensive.
Guess we are just sooooo niche that it’s not profitable in the slightest.
Though the libretto was a bit on the big side for me. If I carry this around, I could also take my laptop. Which never left the house at all.
