  • this reminds me of many instances of undesireable policymaking where algorithms just connected state personell with agendas of politicians through the black box of social media… like a judge who got the thoughts of a politician on certain rulings which is illegal in nordic countries. like the message of “hey what if climate activists are obstructing capital ventures in law? can a judge try that?” is illegal for a politician to ask of a judge here, yet through social media it happened. she didn’t see that politician’s exact words but was bombarded by posts and probably ads that shaped the way she thought about her job as a juridical arbiter of lives. left uncorrelated in mainstream


  • like modos, the open source e-ink kit with as fast refresh rates as LCD screens? on crowdsource right now

    and as “open printer”? open source printer with refillable ink cartridges, no tracking shenanigans, a repairable design and possibility to just put a roll of paper (at most A3 in width) then letting it print bannerolls… crowdsource too iirc

    order one of their physical devices with buttons. enables you to bank and buy. gotta hassle customer service a bit. depends on who you get answering. i say i get banned from BankID for using an open source os on a whole phone. that im not buying a new for i k… becausw this one can watch uoutube, sms, call, browse internet… but BankID REFUSES ME CITIZENSHIP. unless i pay however many thousands on a new phone every year. so i got a physical device sent out. it scans and gives a code. “bankdosa.” i add it has Android (whatever version) while last supported is 6 (way below, number small)


  • ShiftPhones, FairPhones, Volla (german, dutch, finnish) with LineageOS or PostMarketOS rather than e/os (bad fork of LineageOS, SUCKED to export my data once the os lagged so badly. rejects connections and makes my life unecessesarily difficult.)

    or just y"know pick up a samsung S4. watch the teardown videos by i forget who. physically remove WiFi Bluetooth receiver, GSM radio receiver, front back cam, the three microphones on it, the gyroscope, i forget what else. then connect it to internet using the linux app gnirehtet and a cable.
