Unsupported typically just means they wont provide (technical) support if/when it breaks.

What special apps are you using to view it?

If your router is provided by your ISP then its like for their usage

“Rapist granted custody of child” is much more clear and to the point.

“Client” sure seems like an odd word choice here.

I think thats a good position to have, if librewolf works for you i hope it continues to do so.

I used to be more of an open source purist but recent and not so recent events have shifted my thinking, it seems to be one of the four freedoms is regularly taken advantage of by corporations and should be reconsidered. Not that we as individuals shouldnt have those freedoms, but for-profit corps specifically have proven time and time again that they will only take and never give back.

Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers

https://vivaldi.com/source/

They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed, seeing how many open source projects like ffmpeg get completely taken advantage of its a smart move.

Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.

At some point you gotta ask if its worth having open source purity tests when even the flagship products are shoveling AI and other garbage no one wants into their browser.

Librewolf might pass that purity test for now, but without mozilla librewolf likely would not continue, vivaldi does not have this problem.

Give vivaldi a try, not because brave is bad, but because vivaldi is better in every way.

I was thinking of both tastic and core, but i wasnt aware core had a closed source app. The only paywalled limitation seems to be using that specific mobile app to manage repeaters remotely, meshcore-cli has no such arbitrary limitations.

Mainly my point is that as long as the protocol is open nothing is stoping someone elss from creating a version that removes any paywalled limitations.

I dont know if maybe there are premiun features with some apps but so far as i know the meshcore app is free as well, if it was to be paywalled the oldest non paywalled version would still work and most people probably wouldnt upgrade, its not like with a phone or other manufacturer locked device that can force upgrades and prevent downgrades, if a new update gets released and paywalls old festures most people would just not update.

I could totally see some unofficial third party clients or things with improvements being paywalled by smaller groups or individual devs, but as a whole i dont think it would affect users ability to use the network.

I could see newer features and improvements being paywalled in theory but i dont think it would be profitable to actively lock out older/free users. Anything too enshittifiying would either be ignored by most users or cracked and removed.

Its certainly a valid fear in general these days but given the target audience of meshtastic is at least in part a lot of off-the-grid, diy sort of folks, i dont think enshittification would get very far.

Im now getting into meshcore after having been playing with meshtastic for about a year, i plan to run nodes for both. If a third thing comes along ill probably run that too but so far im not aware of anything notable.

What are the odds the classic “expertsexchange” ends up out lasting stack exchange?

Jim Bell should be proud, but im not going to be satisified until we can directly bet on the death of CEOs and billionaires.

He did promise to bring drug prices down by over 100% so maybe that’s part of the plan.

I know why, its this one really cool trick for increasing shareholder value. Give it another quarter and that line will be going up up up!

I expect we will see more disingenuous attacks and “just asking questions” type of posts now that musky has his own wikiclone.

Even if wikipedia lost all of its funding people will find ways to keep it hosted on ipfs or some such thing

This is awesome! I’m now using the swarm to control my living room lights.

I would consider nuclear winter a pretty big change in climate.

Although patrolling the mojavi might make you wish for one…

Orbot in vpn mode should prevent websits from knowing your original IP but IP is not the only way your phone can be identified. Its possible you need to check your settings to see what else could be leaking info.

More accurately Orbot is a proxy not a vpn, but on mobile devices its usually easier to just use the “vpn mode” so traffic is always routed over tor instead of having to manually set proxy for each app you want to use tor with.
