@fribbledom There is a third option: You get tired and end up installing something like github.com/auchenberg/volkswag ;-)

This month I got two new devices that lay at extreme ends of a certain spectrum:
1. Netgear switch (GS110TPv3)
2. PinePhone (1.2 beta)

The switch welcomes me with: "Skip Registration and Temporarily Access All Features" - limited to 3 times! Otherwise requires Andorid app install to register and cloud manage.

PinePhone allows me to try 17+ different distros out of the box - just flash an SD card.

I hope for OpenWrt support for the Netgear...

@cadadr minimalist Gentoo: 1) Connect your device; 2) cd /usr/src/linux ; make menuconfig

In case you missed it - I've made a 28-minute tutorial introducing basic concepts of sound synthesis using 100% libre software. Someone even called it a masterclass :D

@joerebelloharley also, look at Rich Felker's blog ewontfix.com/

He described a lot of nasty problems he stumbled upon when writing a libc.

The biggest issue of outsourcing tech knowledge/competence is that you need to accept lots of high-trust relationships with organisations that are very much not worthy of trust...

The Norwegian consumer council has published a new report where they suggest a ban on the surveillance based revenue model dominating the web today.

Obviously the owner of the website can "track" its users and identify them after they tell them who they are... problem is that you tell them who you are for the purpose of getting billed and items to be shipped to you and not for them to be now able to optimise their ad spent by attributing HTTP requests to your now known identity.
