   You're not wrong. But, i feel that this type of (paid) offering is the next best thing. What we need is many, many more paid providers, which helps decentralize things a little at least (and of course helps those less techie than some)

   Fair point. I define daily driver as having a device that does not crash for light duty operation, allows for sending/receiving of phone calls, text/sms mesaaging, using a small number of heavy apps like Element (for matrix), ema

   Agreed with your comment on autonomous data; and thanks for sharing that link, info!

   Thanks! I am aware of both, but thought that they were still more for developers, and not ready for prime-time as daily drivers.

   I agree! At the very least, maybe web desoign and development based on/dependent upon user strings dies off...or if they're going to keep the cruft at least make it a little tidier and/or contain more truthiness[0]!! [0] = h

   Wow, this sounds great! Did you happen to write up any details on your blog or someplace? I'm greatly interested in learning more about this!

    I think Tim Berner-Lee's SOLID project intends to - at least conceptually - provide the needs that you cited: https://solidproject.org/about Maybe the implementation layer details might differ, but it does seem similar

    I love the idea of physical libraries establishing federated social media offerings, leveraging protocols like ActivityPub (to ensure interop)! To be sure, there would be challenges, and the model would not be ideal for all types of social

    I don't recall where I heard it, but my understanding is that socat is the sort of successor to good ol' netcat. (Of course, don't ask me to compare each, nor know what socat brings that netcat lacks, etc.)

    So, at what point will there be a legitimate third option other than Google android phones (and associated ecosystem) and Apple iphones (and associatyed ecosystem)??? And, no, i don't mean rooting a phone, etc. to install Lineage or o

    It reminds me of a time many years ago - before SaaS days - that a co-worker was similarly disrupted due to unreliability of a vendor system...and his anger towards internal senior staff for (what many obviously) considered to be a poor dec

    When you mentioned telegram, i was going to suggest trying out the matrix protocol. The protocol itself is not only designed for chat, that is merely only one admittedly popular use-case. And in conjunction with matrix, i was going to furth
