What I really want is an Atari Portfolio or a Blackberry

Oh, I didn’t know what that was. Thanks.

Yes, the Star Lite is still probably too big for my ideal use cases, where I’m really just looking for a libre pocket-sized device.

I notice that while they give stats on their processor and most other components, they don’t seem to say anything at all about the GPU

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! That page made it look like an Android device but when you go to configure one, it’s Ubuntu.

Android was until recently an acceptable choice, while iOS has never been acceptable, no matter how “good” they make them. They are poisoned. Apple in general has always been extremely consumer-hostile and they are not trustworthy for the kind of relationship that they abusively force on their users.

My next tablet is going to be an x64 or ARM device that runs straight linux. Android is dead now that they are closing the software ecosystem.

I feel like this is a superstitious resistance. My face is the least sensitive identifying factor I have. My email address is more sensitive than my face!!!

Many online services derive value from the critical mass of users they home. This plus financial apps would include virtually all instances where facial images are required for security purposes.

A medical sound is a surgical steel rod used for “sounding” (ie, probing) parts of the human anatomy. More generally, a sound is any probe or pole used to test depth or similar properties; mapping the depth of a pond with a graduated pole is “sounding the pond”.

Oh, I thought they meant the other kind of “sound” and I am like, that’s a lot of mass to send interstellar for a joke.

No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.

Mumble is THE SHIT.

No don’t look it up, simply assume that you know what it means without ever seeing a definition because your brain is just better than everyone else’s.
