Please for gods sake, if you change the battery (which you should), just buy a new screen on eBay. If you don’t know exactly what youre doing, you won’t be getting the display and its 12 year old glue off without breaking it.
I’ve been going down the Linux/FOSS rabbit hole for a year at this point and hot dayumn does it just keep getting better. I seriously wonder how/why self-hosted forms of social media and apps haven’t become the norm.
Because the budget to promote it isn’t there, nor is the ease of use. Decentralization is still confusing to most people
Probably because it requires people to actually read the documentation, to install and make a bit of effort in getting something private. I guess people are just too scared to leave their “comfort zone” bubble
This is probably it, but it’s just so unfortunate that there’s a constant loop that can be solved by just not entrusting a single centralized company to it:
> Find a good service
> Good service turns sour
> Find a new good service
> Good service turns sour
Like man, I’m just now getting some people to selfhosted Stoat + Matrix, but I just know once some investor-backed competitor arises, some of 'em won’t even give Stoat a chance for development to catch up.
Yup. Basically the pros of centralized platforms our way the cons for most people
