You not caring about the implications because you can avoid it in your own home could have come across as not helpful to the greater cause I guess.

Including the walled garden?

Doesn’t matter if the tool is good enough to analyze and influence peoples behaviour the way it does. Any autocrats wet dream.

I couldn’t find the part where it says that but that’s what I thought. Pin code throttling is part of AOSP iirc, so they would have to go out of their way to remove it (or base their OS on an older LineageOS release like /e/os).

Edit: It’s not. It’s about the missing chip. Read the comment.

Probably because you should care about the fuckton of TVs being sold and in circulation with software that is just some of the worst privacy violations bundled together in a case behind a big LCD/OLED panel. There is no option to avoid it and probably no option to install something else on the hardware you bought and therefor should be yours to do whatever you want to with it. I even read that some connect to open wifi access points without passwords to reach the internet.

I always say this when someone mentions fairphones:

Fairphone 6 does not keep up with standard Android privacy/security patches and has no secure element to provide working disk encryption for typical users not using a strong password, among other flaws.

The idea is great, the execution is lacking basic needs in todays world. Missing pin code throttling is kind of insane tbh.

Kind of. But hopefully at a slower rate / more reversible manner than the rest of the world.

Germany has become kind of a safe haven for a lot of Open Source projects. What’s so bad about it?

Ein neuer Tag, ein neuer Euro… in die Taschen der falschen.

Buy a used 1l mini PC like the Lenovo thinkcentre tiny (or similar Dell or HP models). You will have to spend a bit more, but you could get one with a pretty capable Intel CPU from gen 7 or 8 upwards for virtualization with Proxmox.

If you’re really just looking for a x86 SBC, get a Radxa with an Intel N100 or something similar. They sell at about your price limit with low specs on Aliexpress:

antisemitische, sexistische oder queerfeindliche Einstellungen

Welche politische Richtung findet das gut und warum?

Meine These: Gaming korreliert mit Nutzung von Social Media (bzw. Youtube, Twitch) was wiederum korreliert mit politischen Extremen (links und rechts).

Die ganzen Ballerspiele haben unsere Jugend zu linksgrün versifften Baumkuschlern gemacht!

Don’t worry, the rest of the world will follow suit in a minute

Seems like you forgot the Bild Zeitung, the worst piece of media out there (comparable to the Sun I’ve heard):

It is the best-selling European newspaper and has the sixteenth-largest circulation worldwide. Bild has been described as “notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism” and as having a huge influence on German politicians.

They also bought a lot of other services, see this list, seems like it’s not maintained anymore but still.

Let’s also not forget the time that Mathias Döpfner stole the German election in 2021 so that the FDP could screw over the coalition, see here:

Zwei Tage vor der Bundestagswahl soll er Reichelt gedrängt haben: “Please Stärke die FDP. Wenn die sehr stark sind, können sie in Ampel so autoritär auftreten, dass die platzt und dann Jamaika funktioniert.”

Great, another one to stress about!

Dieses Maimai löst den Generationenkonflikt 🤝

We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!

Remember when they told you a google query uses the power of a light bulb burning for an hour? We’ve come to a full circle guys.

Erhöhung der Akzeptanz von Asyl in der Bevölkerung

Sehr optimistisch 🥲
