PHP 8 makes it possible to rescue the princess but your 83 legacy princesses are all still PHP 5.

I hope somebody has a better answer for you but I think it's just that the world has decided that one has to use two hands to operate a Smartphone now. I'd love a phone with a 5" screen but it looks like we are a (vocal) minority that's not profitable to serve?

Sounds good but there isn't any consumer equipment that can handle 2GB/s. Even 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches are super expensive and I don't think we have anything that can do more than 10Gb/s in the consumer Networking space at all .

As somebody who likes using the terminal I too have mostly stopped using dd and use gnome disks instead. Getting the rightdd flags to get the best performance and progress indicators is a challenge to Google every time.

 

I downloaded Street­Complete to contribute to OSM and on https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ it warns you that "This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service". I'm not super concerned about that and will still try out Street­Complete but i was just wondering what non-free network service this is. Does anybody here know?

Hey I have never contributed to OSM and I just looked at https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ on fdroid and there is a warning about "This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service". Do you know which non-free network this is referring to?

GPT3 is 800GB while the entirety of the English Wikipedia is around 10GB compressed. So yeah it doesn't store evey detail of everything but LLMs do memorize a lot of things verbatim. Also see https://bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2020/12/20/lmmem/

A big issue for me with snap is, that the server side software is proprietary. So it really really does feel like they are trying for lock-in

BuT tHE mEssAGEs DiSaPPEar! So it has to be secure, who needs encryption anyways?

I like the idea of a Linux Phone. I don't know much about it. My backs 2FA probably wouldn't be supported on that and i do need to have WhatsApp because it's the default mode of communication for everybody that's not deeply into privacy, right? What DE would you recommend?

 

After only 3 short years my Google Pixel 4A is EOL. It still works perfectly fine, but since our entire lives run through our phones I don't feel safe trusting my bank accounts and so on to a phone without security updates. I feel like I wasn't quite aware how short the supported time would be when i bought it.

So I gotta get a new one. I don't really have a lot of requirements. I just need the basics: A camera, headphone jack, USB-C charging and F-Droid (so app side loading). I just watch some YouTube, use lemmy and messaging apps, 3fa, email and so on and if there is something to take a video of photo of I like doing that too. I don't need NFC or high refresh rate or 3 cameras or wireless charging and I don't play any phone games so pretty much any phone should work, right?

I was thinking of getting something a bit sustainable and long lasting so I looked at Fairphone but the Fairphone 4 is only supported until 2026 which is not really long and also it's really expensive for just another 3 years. Looks like there will be a Fairphone 5 soonish? But since the 4 didn't have a headphone jack the 5 probably won't either?

So since it looks like a ~6 or 7 year lifespan is just not something that's available I've been thinking why not go cheap? Thus I've considered getting the Samsung Galaxy A14 (non-5G). Are there any significant differences with the 5G version? The 5G version has good reviews as far as i can see. Feels a little bad to downgrade to a phone that cannot even record 1080p@60 and to go back to USB 2.0 and 15W charging but whatever.

So I'm open to suggestions, either on the longer lasting side or something cheap yet secure for a couple of years.
