Disappointed there doesn't appear to be a project page

Now do the crappy mobile games

The removals also follow former Netflix gaming boss Mike Verdu — who just announced that he’s a VP of “GenAI for Games” at Netflix — telling Game File’s Stephen Totilo that the company wasn’t building interactive titles anymore.

VP of “GenAI for Games”

Oh. Oh no.

Beeper to meet people where they are, which is mostly a combination of SMS and Facebook Messenger. If I had a real choice it would be XMPP+OMEMO (via Conversations).

I have one person still on Signal. I have only tech support groups on Matrix (Element)

There is a workaround for this, which is to use a service like JMP.chat to redirect SMS to XMPP, at which point you only need to ensure internet which is a bit of a lower requirement than specific networks (but of course may still become more limiting over time)

It's too early to be certain, but I've got high hopes for the future of the SHIFT 6mq.

I believe it has mainline linux support, or it is being worked on, which will be important for ongoing OS upgrades. Otherwise they have a similar philosophy to Fairphone with an important difference; SHIFT wants you to be able to upgrade their phones, not just repair them. I don't think this has been realistically tested yet, but the successor SHIFTPHONE 8 is coming out imminently, and I think we should start to see pretty soon if any of the new modules can be installed on the older model.

I've actually got the SHIFTPHONE 8 coming myself, because I got spooked by places turning off 3G already and wanted to "future proof" with 5G, but otherwise would have preferred the 6mq.

The one caveat is that SHIFT is a very small company, which could mean risk for long term support.

No parliamentarians have been referred so we already know the architects are off scott-free

I reckon that requires a legislative solution, not just a technological one.

I'm not very familiar with consumer co-ops beyond "the thing that keeps popping up when I try to look into worker co-ops". What do you get out of a multi-stakeholder co-op that's better than a pure worker's co-op?
