       @mntmn Strong shades of The Last Question:https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html«Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer [technician] ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man. »

       @Tutanota I have tried several alternative phone OSes and de-Googled Androids, and written about some. I do not know of anywhere that I can go and see a list of all of them. Here is a nice easy non-coding project for anyone who is interested in this area.* A list of FOSS phone OSes* Better still, with strengths/weaknesses comparisons: what each one is good for* Better still, some tool where you can enter your phone model and it tells you you could run.

       @david @theregister Not sure I'd agree even that it was once easier.The thing is that as late as 1995, Microsoft thought that The Internet was an unimportant fad. Its networking and email are not based around internet protocols, but older ones. Not necessarily proprietary; some are now forgotten industry standards, but pre-internet ones all the same, such as X400.
