Call it wistful thinking but I still believe donations are the way forward.
But it requires a bit of a shift in both willingness and ease.
Currently donations are also distributed pretty unfair, they go mostly to the user facing side, while crucial packages remain forgotten.
I would almost suggest some kind of system where you could set aside a certain amount of money, and it would donate automatically to all your installed packages, with some kind of weighting system I suppose.
Nobody is going to accept that.
If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
The UK and France especially aren’t going to accept that, there is nothing stopping them from sending troops now, but they don’t.
I’ll happily accept if im wrong as i am not a lawyer and certainly not a Canadian one, ive tried to find enforcement based on it but i can’t find clear cases on it, this is the legislation:
No person shall manufacture, import, distribute, lease, offer for sale or sell any radio apparatus, interference-causing equipment or radio-sensitive equipment for which a technical acceptance certificate is required under this Act, otherwise than in accordance with such a certificate.
Radiocommunication Act 4(2)
The question becomes does “offer for sale or sell any radio apparatus” also apply to companies outside Canada?
Still, i can imagine a company is not keen on selling products they know are illegal in the destination country, but the seller (outside canada) being liable for the radio act is maybe wrong then.
On the consumer protection part it does seem correct that the foreign seller is on the hook, atleast for provincial law.
This Act applies in respect of all consumer transactions if the consumer or the person engaging in the transaction with the consumer is located in Ontario when the transaction takes place.
Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002, s. 2(1)
Again assuming “all” then includes foreign transactions.
I really wish they would just ban Meta instead, would also solve the smart glasses problem.
Yes cause understanding software is important even if you use AI.
And even if you want to go full vibe code and never look at anything yourself the AI does need documentation, compare the performance of an agent on a large project with and without an AGENTS.md, the difference is massive. Without the agent usually does figure it out, but it spends a ton of tokens searching.
Has anyone been able to find any info on the modem outside of “A 4G modem for connectivity”
And how they got it network operator and regulatory approved?
Which networks and carriers does it work on?
MAKERphone 2.0 uses 4G LTE Cat-1 with 2G fallback and works with any carrier that gives you a nano-SIM.
This seems quite vague and while i can’t say for sure but as far as i know you can’t just slot a sim into a modem with any arbitrary IMEI and it works on the long term.
according to the Nura wiki Nik012003 is working on porting it to “memeline” linux
whether that is a typo or means something else i don’t know

I was also thinking about it but not sure, it really depends on if there is big demand. Currently my hands are still full with the FP6 and after i wanted to do the Catcrafts RISC-V phone, so im not really big on then doing another FP6 sized project if there is no demand.
Not sure why you are asking this in a linux phone community but this is the generative AI policy of flathub, pretty much the store for linux phones:
Generative AI policy
Submitters must disclose any AI-generated code, documentation, packaging, or other material they know or reasonably believe is included in the application or its Flathub packaging. The disclosure must identify the affected parts and approximate extent.
Flathub manifests must not contain AI-generated or AI-assisted content. Disclosure does not exempt manifests from this restriction.
AI used only for research, discussion, or debugging does not need disclosure when no generated material is included in the application or its Flathub packaging. Other disclosed AI-generated material is evaluated at reviewer discretion. Reviewers may reject a submission, including without further review, based on the extent or role of generated material or concerns about its review, quality, or maintainability. Disclosure does not create a presumption of acceptance.
AI tools or agents must not open or automate Flathub submission pull requests, or generate their commit messages, descriptions, review comments, or replies. Submitters must not request AI-agent reviews.
Undisclosed or materially misrepresented AI-generated material, or prohibited AI-generated submission or review interactions, may result in rejection. Repeated violations may result in a permanent ban from future submissions and activities.

In general also outside AI specifically the requirements are pretty strict.
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) and Fairphone (Gen. 6+) are software-compatible, so you can install the Nura image on either model.

Again i don’t know for sure but from my understanding to answer this question and the one you asked ironblossom.
If a company accepts payment and ships to a fowarding service knowing it is going to a certain country then that is legally the same as if they shipped it themselves.
If their product is not certified to be sold in that country the seller now can face heavy fines.
If their product is defective and causes damage and they don’t have insurance for that country then the seller can be on the hook for heavy payouts.
To prevent this the seller must block the sale.
May i interest you in Linux support instead?
Take this with a grain of salt as i am not an expert but when i looked into it if you sell knowing it will go to a forwarding service to a specific country legally it then counts as selling to that country and the seller is on the hook for all the regulations so they have to block it.

Am i the only one who likes the UN flag?
Yes, i looked into this and it doesn’t seem like alot of work.
Edits are required in sxmo_modemdial.sh to use the imsd dbus instead and the polkit rules need to allow imsd, the rest is work for me but that’s no issue.
This seems like a very good development, but as for joining a team i am open to the idea but not sure if i will apply. Especially considering most of the work is already done and maintaining it will now be done on the list.
I would recommend using a classifier model instead of a text generation one.
As for the way to do it a simple program that connects to you mailbox via imap and calls the vllm or whatever api you are using and then moves it to spam could work?
The reason people want it is freedom from big tech, AOSP is still controlled by Google.
And the convience of every device in my house running the same software does also play a part.
Why is there no value in mobile linux on a modern phone?
Atleast for me the value for Nura (which im glad is why they dropped the old name) is that its mainline linux, not that the orginal vendor doesn’t support it anymore.
i feel like everytime this is my old man yells at cloud moment but i really hope we don’t get a web where every single element has to slide in.
