I agree that lifestyle choices often require both spouses to work. However, it's not simply due to suburban American 'largesse'. I know plenty of people who live in France in comparatively tiny apartments or homes, who still

Have you heard about the GoTenna mesh project, https://gotennamesh.com/ ? I haven't got one yet, but it looks like the sort of thing you're describing (though its a device that works with existing smartphones, rat

Isn't this the old Unix tools idea, where programs are tools that ideally do one thing well, and with good inter-program communications developers can combine basic tools to build more complex programs?

Agree. I heard that there are four primary vendors for credit union and small bank web software. I guess they're not typically able or willing to customize commodity or write custom mobile apps.

I've been using Firefox since around 2003 or 2004 - whenever I bought my first MacBook Pro. Firefox was way better than Safari. If I ever do need something that would "require" Chrome, such as a Chrome app, I use Chromium rat

I glanced at your list, and thought this one in particular was brilliant: SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) <--> SAVON (Simple Accès Vers Objets Nuageux)

Yes, in contrast to "manual" (related to the hand), but in regular usage most people think of digital as a reference to non-analog technologies, not a reference to their fingers.

My experience here in France has been folks simply use "mail" when speaking of emails, rather than "email" or "courriel". I've run across "courriel" a handful of times in four years, and almost n

I generally agree with your comment. However, when you wrote, > Same with phones. We aren’t going to see modular phones beyond the concept stage either. I disagree. I'm writing this on a Fairphone 2, which I bought for its modularit

Still have an N900 in my bag, as a secondary phone in case I need a physical keyboard or a real GNU/Linux system in my pocket. I'd hoped the Neo900 project would have breathed new life into it, but its not looking likely.

Does anyone know if there's folks working to build a better mousetrap where search is a protocol that anyone could use, not a company service?

Isn't that exactly what cops or others do when they use a Stingray phone tracker and intercept people's mobile phone connections? I still remember in late 2013/early 2014 when I lived in Kyiv, Ukraine, and my friends at the M

I'm not sure that @askmike uses PoW in his project(s). It sounds like if the companies know each other and can form consensus, they don't need PoW to form consensus.

Perhaps part of where the western outlook on poverty goes wrong is that we almost exclusively define our economic metrics by material, quantifiable means. However, people can be rich in relationships and materially poor, or incredibly wealt

Does anyone know of any smartphone projects where the circuits are designed to give the user's OS (usually GNU/Linux, but could be anything the user fancies if the bootloader's free) control over power to the baseband CPU, SI

Not that I'm aware of. The only phone project I know that's trying to run libre software from the bootloader up is the Neo900 (new internals in a Nokia N900 case). And in the case of the GSM module, if I understand correctly, they

I don't know about LinuxDevices.com, but have you looked at the Neo900 project? They're updating the internals of the Nokia N900, and their plans include fixing the USB connector. Even though their specs won't be brand new, I
