I had a 4 I think? That one lasted about a year and a half before the battery wouldn’t last more than half a day. Then it bricked one day. Not sure what happened.

The 6a was the worst. It was cheap and good at first. But then kept getting hotter and hotter…almost burnt me.

You have a point.

…it is a really nice phone.

I just cant afford two. First world problem haha.

I think you should be able to emulate /e/ OS to try out some stuff? Maybe someone else can chime in. Dont know if that helps or not.

My 2fa works in /e/ but im going to assume other OSes probably wont.

I use android via /e/os. But I cannot experiment with my only phone. There is 2fa and other such services that I have to have access to. Worst case, I cant get into accounts and such.

FF is a great phone btw.

I appreciate the response.

I have owned two google phones. Both had hardware issues/battery issues and one almost exploded. One day it got super hot and the battery turned into a spicy pillow. Sorry but im not going to get another google phone as long as I live. Neither lasted more than 2 years.

Is there a good small cheap repairable phone out there? I have a fairphone4 and I LOVE /E/ OS. But I would also like to actually USE a linux phone. And I cant experiment as much as I would want on my main phone.

Ive almost thought about carrying a tiny burner phone then a small laptop for everything else.

The best extension :)

Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin

Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

I wonder if we could use some soft of algorithm to detect if a message might be AI in the fedi? I know piefed tags it automatically but I dont know how it detects it.

Thats really interesting. Thanks! Is there a way to test this or command line tool? I suppose I could try and create my own tool, but im assuming there is a tool here im just not seeing.

I see a LOT of claims by people in this thread. It would be nice if they would give proof one way or another.

Oh yeah that was good.

Ask jeeves was better at one point. It was an actual toss up which search engine was going to go well early 2000s.

ha yeah!

I just call us Fedi. Like its all in compassing. IDK.

We are certainly something 😆

Health insurance here. They were the biggest kid on the block as far as information gathering.

Thry want us to subscribe to computing.

We got tired of meshtastic so we build some with Wi-Fi HaLow and other Wifi stuff.

Meshtastic/core are ok as a hobby, but after doing it for a good number of years, im just tired of the downtime, strange issues with heltek and the very small amount you can actually send.

Locally we have been setting up some mesh systems. Its been fun work. One of the best things about it is:

1. All traffic is human.
2. No survalance

Its in the early phases but its been a sucess so far.
