  That was awesome

  Only people who are okay with being monsters are allowed to take and keep those roles. That’s capitalism, baby.

  I think you answered your own question. To expect them to do anything other than what will increase their wealth is naïve. Anything that seemed like a “moral” thing that they did in the past simply happened to be more convenient.

  Also, it’s illegal to send encrypted messages over mestastic.

  In the US at least, this is almost never true. It is only true for devices set up as licensed HAM radios. Normal Meshtastic devices fall under the transmit power threshold to be subject to 47 CFR 97.313(j)

  It’s not like I’m going to boycott them, but it’s important to always push because they CAN do better. Any “risk” that they are not handling, they are offloading to the workers themselves. It doesn’t just disappear. I’m not saying they should be only hiring full-time devs at competitive silicon valley salaries, but part time on a living wage with worker protections is an important bar to clear for all entities that seek paid labor.

  Yeah, this is such an anti-labor thing for them to do. I hate seeing stuff like this in general, but from open-source projects it hurts way more.

  I totally forgot about “Skannerz”!

  Thanks for rushing back a bunch of my childhood memories

  Because of who decides how such verification gets built. Just look at what is happening with Android apps to know how big tech companies will handle it. f-droid.org/…/google-developer-registration-decre…

  Whatever Apple, Microsoft, and Google decide it does.

  This would require “verified” operating systems: No alternative Android-based OSes. No Linux phone. Hell, no Linux desktop, or at least we would be stuck with a big-tech-built proprietary web browser.

  This is a terrible idea.
