Does anyone have AT&T Prepaid data working on Mobian Pinephone? Can you tell me how you got it to work? All signs for me point to Pinephone not being an approved device. Am I wrong?

#PineNote is cool, but the pricing is off. You can get a ReMarkable at that price, which is already super hackable.
Still, I expect a lot of software goodies to come out of this, including an e-ink optimized browser.

#Knowledge #BigTech #Suppression

The Knowledge Standards Foundation is trying to create a next-gen Wikipedia, that solves the following types of problems:
- Reduce corruptibility of the knowledge base
- Solve knowledge storage issues
- Avoid search engine suppression
- Break Big Tech's hold on access to knowledge

Following is a nugget of identifying some of the core issues. They have a Slack forum to try to resolve these issues before launching coding

I think the sexiest thing that the US healthcare system has done is that they've created such a complex web of contractors and subcontractors involved in denying you healthcare that no individual group is ever fully at fault for killing you, meaning that the guilt is evenly distributed over a sprawling network of bureaucrats who can all consider themselves effectively blameless.

people who study math or CS (including me) often need to read this 

If you think you know everything, you probably just don’t know how much you don’t know.

If you think you don’t know anything, you probably have just forgotten how much you know.

Don’t compare yourself to know-it-alls.

Well, me and Microsoft won't be friends in my life anymore. I hate Azure Azure hates me and the support does not know its products, in the end you have to solve it yourself.

Currently playing This War of Mine, based on the siege of Sarajevo.

One guy's depressed, and another suicided, so the cook's gotta go out to raid the area, because he's hungry. I had to burn a book to cook food; may the gods forgive me.

You can raid places with active snipers, raid easy targets with limited supplies, or break into old poeple's homes to steal their supplies.

If I can't make some moonshine cheer today, I'm pretty sure the last two characters are dead.

10/10, would recommend.

I think I met a real hacker today. He is a teenager, in someone's car, talking about Haskell and classical music.

@kubikpixel Yeah. Better just donating to reforestation projects. Or taking part at one. Btw, do you know any good ones to donate?

@cstanhope @vidak Please do have empathy on how this man MUST have been pressured like hell from intelligence agencies coming from everywhere. Because of that, I have always considered his behavior was "rather cool" for a man under such coward pressures from all parts.

He is straight and honest. No bla bla.

Luddism was a working-class movement opposed to the political consequences of industrial capitalism. The Luddites wanted technology to be deployed in ways that made work more humane and gave workers more autonomy. The bosses, on the other hand, wanted to drive down costs and increase productivity.
