Nothing phones are solid cheap and with freely unlockable bootloader without any shenanigan.

I own one l, a 3a, and I am not affiliated with Nothing.

The problem is app support for x86. Many just are released for arm and arm64.

At least back when I tried it.

Also, power management on x86 sucks hard compared to arm, so expect much higher power usage compared to an Android stick.

It’s a fun project tough…

You are not wrong… Sme here for immich and many others…

We should self host time?

Well, my point was on healthcare and school mostly … But many countries tried some form of UBI, and mostly failed tough.

Free?

Have you ever heard of taxes? That’s the way a society should finance itself, by making sure that everybody contributes to it, proportionally to their means.

Well, that’s the theory… Never really seen that implemented properly but…

It’s called a functional society…

Well, due to hardware encryption keys and such, it’s not that easy… Also many devices supported only works after sniffing the keys from the official apps. Which is not a viable approach in my opinion…

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. Garmin is still one of the most open brands, you can always copy activities from USB cable if you don’t want to use the proprietary Garmin app.

Free healthcare, basic income, free kindergarten and school at least up to high school?

Something most civilized countries already have.

I would need to mess with stuff and protocols, it should be possibile to get Rid of the proprietary app and maybe once I will have time to do it …

Sorry to say that most sport devices are not supported by gadget bridge

I use endurain since day one and it’s growing fast and good. Dev is very dedicated and progress is significant and solid.

Said so, I always despised Strava and never used it. But I use Garmin platform since I own many garmin devices for run bike and more … And after all these years Garmin stuff, also on software side, keeps being non enshittified

I built a DIY with a 12v chime, a 12v dry contact ZigBee relay, a 12v generator, one ZigBee button and a Tenda two way audio pts external camera .

The 12v (AC) is required by my gate lock. The two way audio depends on a proprietary app (didn’t bother too hard to make it works with Home assistant yet).

Using home assistant I can open the gate and check the camera. To actually talk back I need to open the proprietary app

Cool man! Love it …

And yet immich is still ahold, so I guess futo has been a clear win so far for immich.

While I would prefer gpl3, still futo so far has delivered only good stuff. (I also use futo keyboard and voice typing).

There are more dad’s cats or dad’s dogs?

There is a huge difference between your best friend and your partner. But maybe I am looking at it from 50 years of life, quite a few partners changed over time, where I have been cheated on or I have cheated on. And also where nobody has cheated on.

So I see things less black and white.

What I have learned is that cheating comes when there is a problem in the relationship, not the other way around. Never.

So first and foremost you look at your relationship then look outside. Or you will only repeat the same cycle that lead partner to cheat with the next partner.

Should you hate your best friend? Yes I guess… Should you hate your partner? Yes I guess. Should you blame them? No. Relationship is two people, and you are one of those two people. So blame also yourself as much as you blame partner, and maybe the third person

But always the fault in cheating lays on BOTH you and partner first and foremost. And trust me: you have 50% of the blame even if partner is the one that cheated. He, or she, of course fully bear the other 50%.

The third person might be a bastard that took advantage of the situation or maybe genuinely fell in love with your partner. But that person has no blame in the cheating

I am talking experience and real life cheating, not theorical hypothesis here.

What I mean is that it’s not your best friend fault. It’s your relationship that has issues to be addressed or your SO would not have looked somewhere else.

So I can be enraged with my best friend, indeed, like with a stranger, but make no sense to address him or her when the fault is not their fault.

When somebody cheats the issue is within the relationship and or the cheating person. The third person is just an external factor, if not your best friend it would have been another person, see, it’s irrelevant.

what? Nope you are wrong. Monday is the first day of the week all over Europe. Blame Americans not christians, at least this time.

The other person is not the problem or the culprit. I would look into my own relationship and confront my SO, be furious, maybe aggressive (but not violent, that I would never be), maybe crying.

The other person it’s a distraction, it your SO and yourself you need to focus on.
