[02:24]	Sompi	Apparently both Pinephone models are again out of stock in Europe
[02:25]	Sompi	I'm pretty sure that the CRA directive makes it illegal to sell it with any viable pre-installed Linux distributions, because they don't ransom the user data by default
[02:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	the reasons they gave is different, for one model
[02:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	the CRA part is speculation wrt pine

[02:25]	TR Bot	 Tux Machines PinePhone Pro Linux smartphone has been discontinued, but the original PinePhone is still available
[02:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	""Pine64's store listing for the PinePhone Pro shows it's currently out of stock, and according to reports by Lilyputing, the PinePhone Pro is officially being discontinued thanks to low interest.
[02:28]	Sompi	I didn't speculate that CRA would be the reason why it is out of stock or discontinued. I just stated that I think CRA makes those Linux distributions illegal as commercial products because they don't encrypt the user data by default and they also don't do many other things that the CRA and Ecodesign directives mandate them to do
[02:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	right, i agree

[07:52]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I had to stop by the pharmacy and pick up some medicine for Leeloo.
[07:53]	Isambard_Prince	I spent most of my night at an emergency animal hospital to find out she has herpes for cats in her left eye.
[07:53]	Isambard_Prince	The vet gave me some eye drops but he also prescribed famciclovir off label.
[07:53]	Isambard_Prince	They can use it off label in cats apparently, but the pill is huge.
[07:54]	Isambard_Prince	So I have to break them into 1/4s and then give them to her that way. Luckily I already use one for her thyroid meds.

[10:03]	Isambard_Prince	When society tries to prevent people from committing suicide, I think the result is, instead of a winding down and an end you can plan for, a total mess. Literally.
[10:04]	Isambard_Prince	People will have to clean it up, figuratively and literally.
[10:04]	Isambard_Prince	It's presumed that everyone who wants to die is crazy.
[10:04]	Isambard_Prince	Not that they've looked at their life objectively and cannot find a single thing that's going right for them.
[10:05]	Isambard_Prince	Would it be more fair if you could just go talk to a therapist, lay everything out, and ask them if they would trade places with you?
[10:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	<Isambard_Prince> It's presumed that everyone who wants to die is crazy.
[10:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	no, if they are terminally ill
[10:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	if not, there are usually other options, like seeking another way
[10:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	many suicidal people end up trying to reset

[10:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	or criminal record

[12:14]	Sompi	android locking itself down is just part of its business model
[12:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	the new ones are out of the question
[12:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	we could book tickets, travbel etc without phone
[12:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	printed some papers as well

[12:15]	Sompi	we can't
[12:15]	Sompi	yeah, they are not reliable, and they are even less reliable in our climate

[12:15]	Sompi	modern touchscreen-only phones
[12:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	i heard it became "smart city"
[12:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	and was proud of it
[12:16]	Sompi	impossible to use outside in winter
[12:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	usable until the fingers freeze
[12:16]	Sompi	capacitive touchscreen often aren't usable at all
[12:17]	Sompi	also I have so big fingers that I cannot use them normally even indoors
[12:17]	Sompi	zooming by using the pinching motion is impossible because the phone thinks that I have my cheek against it or something and doesn't register my fingers
[12:18]	Sompi	fingers freezing isn't usually the problem because the phone itself stops working before it goes to that
[12:19]	Sompi	that one time when I had to go fetch firewood in -42 C I noticed how unreliable modern technology is
[12:20]	Sompi	the seller of the firewood could not start his car because the engine controller unit decided that there must be something wrong with the temperature sensor data and refused to work properly
[12:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	like your modern rail syste
[12:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	"too cold"
[12:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	"too hot"
[12:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	"try again later":)

[12:21]	Sompi	and apparently arctic diesel isn't a thing anymore... it used to be so that every time when the weather predictions showed temperatures below -30 C the fuel stations started selling arctic diesel, but not anymore
[12:22]	Sompi	now they sell only normal winter quality diesel
[12:22]	Sompi	I had to make a mix of diesel and gasoline and oil to get the viscosity low enough
[12:23]	Sompi	finally I got my car's engine started, luckily it has a completely mechanical diesel engine so it just works when the fuel is in flowing state
[12:23]	Sompi	but those are illegal to make anymore
[12:24]	Sompi	then I went into the car and tried to call the firewood seller
[12:24]	Sompi	my phone, a modern Android smartphone, instantly died from the cold
[12:25]	Sompi	I went back inside and took some old Nokias with me. The ones with "recently" made batteries instantly died in the cold
[12:25]	Sompi	the older batteries seemed to have different chemistry because they worked
[12:26]	Sompi	and yeah, those new trains are also always broken when it's so cold
[12:26]	Sompi	at that time trains were stopped anyway because there wasn't enough electricity production for them
[12:26]	Sompi	because Marin's government scrapped the old diesel and steam locomotives that were kept in the reserve for situations like that
[12:28]	Sompi	of course, those are some extreme conditions that don't occur every day, but just 20 years ago everything still worked even in those conditions
[12:28]	Sompi	with modern technology it just becomes impossible
[12:28]	Sompi	normal things in society just stop working and the establishment pretends like it didn't happen

[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	How would the digital world as we know it be different? I personally think digital life in general would be smaller scope and that monopolies would completely dominate the tech world (even more than now). And since over 90% of web servers run Linux, that infrastructure would be much smaller in scope since in this world Linux would have a licensing fee. What do you think?
