I want it to last. At least 5 years.

That is something that would be very hard to legislate. Especially since battery lifetime is dependent on a variety of external factors (charging-style, temperature of the device, luck). Build quality certainly also factors in, but even the best battery won't survive a 10 year old regularly overheating their phones with games and charges it for the entire night. I would love to see OEMs implement nice things like "capacity settings", where you can set your device to stop charging at 80% and show it as 100%.

Yes, even if the group is racist bigots, warlords, or plain malicious idiots, those are still covered under "any group". And I would argue that that is a good thing. Not that these groups exist, but that there are no exceptions one might use to create trouble for users.

Seeing how the nouveau-right loves playing their victim card, that will just be gasoline for their hate-engine.

Not sure reality agrees here. Unless the project is huge, it will most likely not see any money. With copy-left code they are at least required to share their improvements and contribute that way. (I am aware of the no-gpl policies of many companies)

What's probably a better Model are Nextcloud's "SupportaaS", Sourcehut's consultancy, or mailcow's SaaS. (I also see SaaS critically, but if it's Libre I'm okay with it)

If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn't use crypto, imho.

Dear Debian users: please also update your Debian version, not just your packages. Like... once a decade would be an improvement for many poor servers.

EarthPorn was a great place, but BeautifulPlaces really would've been the better name.

As someone who quite enjoys lengthy video essays about obscure topics, I disagree.

That still requires some level of graphical session though

I would beg to differ. It seems to be pretty useful for Software development. After all git repos are Blockchains. That being said: use a solution that fits your problem, don't try to adapt a problen to your solution. Thats something a lot of the crypto- or AI-bros are apparently misunderstanding

I am split here. I dont expect anyone to know the manages by heart, but at least doing a quick search should be possible. If that obviously wasn't done I'm fine with referring people to the friendly manual.

I really don't see a reason to write more just to summarise what has already been written. Is that toxic though? I don't think so. If someone then says that they don't understand what that reference means, I'll gladly explain how manpages work and how to search for info. Teach a man to fish and stuff.

If we have to use crypto (which I don't really see a reason for to be perfectly honest), then I'd much rather seean privacy coin like Monero being used.

It's not android, but Google as far as I am aware. At least my battery settings (latest graphene OS) areā€¦ limited to say the least

You might want to take a look at cage which has been designed for that.

I suppose it depends on how exactly you define a blockchain. If you add distributed consensus algorithms and a requirement for BFT resistance, then it clearly isnt. Its the usual issue with definition...

Since a definition is descriptive, not prescriptive, I think it's paramount.
