For the people with no service and exploitative ratioed service.
I don't need wifi I have 100 gig of fast data and "unlimited" after that which I never use.
But my brother has 3 gb and then he loses internet access. You do it for him, it's common courtesy if you're operating a business which you expect people to hang out at. They are the content that attract your drink-buyers.
I'm specifically aiming at the "a culture that..." bit.
That the same logic with different garbs. It doesn't become ok because it's a "culture wink wink".
It's the same weapon used the same way with a tiny lil' tweak to try dodge criticism.
This is transparent and should not be fooling anyone.
Also you must drink a verification can !
It's a business location and they could be anywhere, this is enough to buy unlimited internet basically everywhere there is unlimited internet to buy. Compared with daily business expenses this is basically free for them.
We're assuming a business location here. This is the maximum it should cost pretty much anywhere in the world. So, trivial compared with just one day of business expenses. Functionally free
Sounds reasonnable,
Installed should be downloaded by going to grandmasnixos.com On the front page, a single click starts to download a single file, that contains everything It is a tailored rufus executable with the ISO that contains everything to make it to first desktop boot When download ends, no internet connection will be required to make it to grandmasnixos desktop
When the file is clicked and a usb stick has been inserted beforehand, the grandmasnixos ISO is preselected, rufus autochooses the usb stick
User only needs to press "start"
The motherboard version is checked against a lookup table, and the user is told
Reboot computer a press $KEY_TO_USB_BOOT and choose to boot the usb key
Installation is a single screen that says "This will erase everything on this computer, to continue, click the checkbox below" [ ] I understand this will erase everything on my computer buttons below [ ERASE AND INSTALL GRANDMASNIXOS ] or [ CANCEL AND REBOOT] (first button only clickable if the checkbox is checked)
(there is an "Options and settings" button somewhere, it does not have to be clicked to continue)
No further user interaction until it boots into a working desktop
There is no password by default, the desktop auto-logs in, no remote access is possible until a password is set, sudo works passwordless
There should be no updating unless enabled, no telemetry, no call home of any kind, the system should be able to work offline and forever without an internet access and never nag the user.
The desktop environment should be something occasional win10 using grandma will not get lost in
Taskbar at bottom Desktop that you can dump files onto and start stuff by clicking those files systray on the right Large font start menu Start menu includes a single settings panels that does everything a user needs (passwords, wifi, power management, update, timezone, language, locale, host and domain name, remote desktop etc..)
taskbar should have pinned the most important apps file browser, browser, calculator, notepad, word-like and maybe a mail client maybe a zoom? client or something equivalent but open source and usable ?
If updating is turned on, it should be very conservative, updates hand curated by grandmasnixos, basically never uses software that hasn't been proven rock solid for at least 6 months. Rolling back any update should be one-click-trivial
On first boot there could be an "out of box experience" screen that allows setting up
wifi password region/timezone/locale/language power settings host and domain name password enable updates enable remote desktop and services open easy user guide
So total, from download to desktop it should be 8 clicks total counting press F9 during boot as a "click"
“comes from a culture that lies about everything”
What do you think he meant by that ?
How the logic of his statement works seems very plain to me, we've seen that a million times.
100$/month and a one time purchase of a 200$ wifi router
This would not be a problem if one bot scraped once, and the result was then mirrored to all on Big Tech's dime (cloudflare, tailscale) but since they are all competing now, they think their edge is going to be their own more better scraper setup and they won't share.
Maybe there should just be a web to torrent bridge sovtge data is pushed out once by the server and tge swarm does the heavy lifting as a cache.
Yes, it would make lemmy as unsearchable as discord. Instead of unsearchable as pinterest.
As documented in this post https://i.imgur.com/iOjsazs.jpg and this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTfqLm0xP7o
If you allow my searchxng search scraper then an AI scraper is indistinguishable.
If you mean, "google and duckduckgo are whitelisted" then lemmy will only be searchable there, those specific whitelisted hosts. And google search index is also an AI scraper bot.
