Thanks, that is a very kind offer!
The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)
That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?
Ah, true. I honestly think we need to get to a point where smartphones intended for use with linux are profitable / widespread.
But that’s a catch 22 with UX and HW both being required for companies to invest in the other.
Again for Germany, it’s handled by a single provider, and they absolutely do utilize CoCo tech. (Source: I work at one of the involved companies, sorry, not going to be more specific)
In the case of Germany: confidential computing tech ensures all data is encrypted in storage and in memory, shielded even against data center employees / hosting providers. I imagine that’s become the standard for most countries.
Make sure you choose a proper open source one, else the app might collect data as well…
They don’t let you anymore, do they? There was a whole controversy about the Zenfone 12
Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.
Main drawbacks right now:
When we need to know each others location, we share it via element / matrix. Our own server, so no third party.
Happens maybe four times a year.
(Also, do you just always have location services enabled?? IMO it’s a battery drain, I pretty much only enable it for this and while I need to navigate)
No, even QR I can only accept as an option, as in completely optional. I’m out and about without a phone quite frequently.
Can’t believe noone mentioned this yet:
Any good password manager encrypts and decrypts your password file client side. The server should not even have the ability to read your passwords.
Even in the case of a leak of all of the server’s data, as long as your password for the manager was good, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
I’d say pick a PW manager where both client and server are open source. Pick a strong passphrase. Enjoy.
There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I’ll go disinfect my screen now.
Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍
I always sort by new comments.
It’s a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.
“Not understanding what is happening” in regards to AI is NOT “we don’t jniw how it works mechanically” it’s “yeah there are so many parameters, it’s just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all”.
There’s no awareness or thought.
Now THAT is something I wouldn’t ever trust.
I bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.
Either your argument is that morality is somehow “god given” through religion, in which case I have to ask, which god? Which religion? There’s a lot of those around or no longer around, with different nuances of morality, contradicting that idea.
Or each civilization developed religion and incorporated their respectove ideas about morality, but then morality necessarily precedes religiosity.
Either way, doesn’t make sense.
Besides, the idea that a fear of god is necessary to make people “moral” is ridiculous. If you would commit immoral atrocities if you didn’t believe in god, then I’m sorry, that makes you a bad person; but don’t project that unto other people.
Empathy is sufficient for morality, while god, arguably, is an amoral monster.
Cheers, a moral atheist
Think about it like this:
with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result
with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix’s problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)
Ah, too bad! But thanks, that’s good to know.
Not gonna lie, I’m a tiny bit jealous of you 😄 It’s gotten to a point where having to use Android is a constant, low-intensity source of stress just because of how closed and privacy-unfriendly it has become.
