       @martijnbraam I appreciate "open", but Allwinner and Mali really seem... not open at all. If we acknowledge that it isn't, then what's the motivation to support this rather than buy an old hammerhead for $100 on eBay and put Ubuntu on that? (Small picture here, I realise that's not exactly a supply chain!)

       @matt You laugh, but it really did get the job done.You could share photos, files, and it had emoji. Tribal Voice had Powwow with voice chat, even.Actually, I can't think of anything from back then that dated quite as well as the IMs, aside from UI.... I say that as, unironically, my Matrix client struggles with push notifications and nudges the definition of "instant" in "instant messaging" to the context of geology.Ah. The future!

       @DeliaChristina I tend to assume most people like myself have run this scenario, and looked up the degrading returns on photovoltaics in preference of hydroelectric with regard to long term returns... even if maintaining the latter is harder, it's at least possible.I'm not concerned about zombies, or commies, it's guys with red hats who think they're entitled. On that, the apocalypse just exacerbates it.But solar is good in the short term... anyway.

       @datenwolf @DeliaChristina I'm aware, and I agree that one of us missed the point.I've followed solar performance and I still think perovskite will break through, but even at peaks of 23% and the effects of.. well everything silicon photovoltaics degrade from, they aren't really repairable without very expensive and rare equipment.A turbine just needs new windings once in a while...

       @kingthorin_rm @kev i literally tried to click exactly what you said wasn't an obvious link, assuming it was a link.

       @kingthorin_rm @kev the obvious font difference did it for me.
