“Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” — Clay Shirky

Remember Turbo SIMs? It‘s what we used to make iPhones SIM-/Carrier lock free when there was no jailbreak available. Predominantly used in the

iPhone 3GS as a piggy-back SIM that mocked the carrier ID to the phone.

Yes, you had to physicslly cut the mini-SIM plastic away to make room for the chip and very carefully slot the tray into the phone. Worked great back then.

I still have a few unused ones. :-)

Imagine having an ego so fragile that having to wear a mask in public breaks you.

This is just to check in how much interest there is in the following:

Would you like to see Tails to run on mobile phones such as the #PinePhone?
(boost also counts as a yes)

What's Tails?

@dmbaturin not true. plenty of minority lects (languages+dialects) survived for millennia in extensive pancultural networks, coexisting with lingua francas. multilingualism is the norm for premodern societies (cf. Amazon, Australia, PNG etc.); monolingualism is a late European anomaly.

what creates monolingualism isn’t global communication, it’s monocultural colonisation. what kills lects isn’t knowing a lingua franca; it’s when you are ashamed to teach children your own.

【IMPORTANT NOTICE 1/2】
Recently, the handling of online defamation has become a hot topic on many mass media as well as social media channels.

In response to these reports, it is expected that lawsuits and disclosure requests will become more publicly known;
and government agencies will order stricter enforcement in addition to tightening regulations.

【IMPORTANT NOTICE 2/2】
However, under the current state of Japan, we will not be able to handle the increase of such administrative burdens and will have trouble dealing with it appropriately.
Thus, we have decided to stop providing our service on mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud starting June 30, 2020.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding on the matter.

If a #fedi instance with 200K users can't find a way to keep running, then it's probably a good idea to shut it down.

And Mastodon (which the instance in question is running) has a decent account migration feature now, so it's easy for those users to move to different instances.
