Yes! BlueSky is an echo chamber!

Which modern host provider did you switch to?

The title of the first post in your screenshot made me look into the origins of the word Merzweckeier. Spaßig! Merz leck Eier.

Look for “digital signage” displays - but beware that some of those are “smart TVs” too.

Does a phone in the pocket count as resting on any part of the body?

We certainly aren’t getting smarter through the internet.

Speak for yourself. I am, without a doubt.

What about mini-ITX?

How is VoIP necessary for Signal?

Are you saying that Obtainium can install an app from a PlayStore URL?

Ok here’s my trillion dollar idea:

SmartVape CloudBar. A range of premium smart home vaping devices that connect to (and depend on) the cloud so you can smartvape remotely (e.g. in the bed, on the job, or even when travelling).

Vaping, even locally, always works, unless your subscription has expired, there’s no internet connection available, or any of the necessary cloud service are down.

No. Autogenerated subtitles would be speech-to-text, rather than text-to-speech.

Electric horses are better than engines

No, no numbers, but I have heard and read that that’s the history of the smaller railways in other European countries around that time.

Probably also due to new bus lines replacing smaller train lines and/or driving passengers to/from the remaining bigger train stations of the lines instead. I guess bus service had lower maintenance and operational costs while being more flexible than a small train or tram.

Looking forward to the infinitely scalable quantum AI blockchain cloud virtualization E2E P2P VPN micro-services!

What stops anyone from making new GUIs, maybe even a new framework for doing that, optimised for touchscreens rather than keyboard and mouse?

Maybe I’m just unknowledgeable, but to me that idea doesn’t sound very far-fetched.

Who wants to run scaled down desktop apps on their phone

I believe the UI of most apps could be made to work well with phone display sizes and resolutions.

and who wants a terminal on a phone either?

Well, I do! It’s great when you want to connect, do or automate something there isn’t an app for. For now I sometimes run Termux on Android. Among smartphone users in general I’m probably an edge case, but among Linux users, I must say, using a terminal on the phone doesn’t seem that crazy to me.
