  I wanted something that’s more difficult to consume media on. Something that is less conductive to feeding some guy’s advertising empire. The cloud apps are interesting to me not because of YouTube, but because of maps and public transport schedules. That way, it’d be closer to my main-main phone, rather than falling back to the smartphone for some apps.

  Whatsapp is somewhat optional for me as my friends don’t use it, but I know it’s important to other people. It would be important to me if I went outside the EU, though.

  There’s also something about escaping Android.

  Unfortunately there’s this post too: blog.bananahackers.net/…/on-the-state-of-kaios-an…

  Many “council” members have lost interest in developing for KaiOS. Many have not and believe this OS will live on and cover a minority of the market

  But now, in 2023, this mobile Operating System seems to be on the verge of death. Not only KaiOS 3.0 is out but also KaiOS 3.1 is also out. But there is no device which is available worldwide. Only few carrier-locked devices for North America.

  Here’s a demo of the cloud youtube playing youtu.be/2VPQ_3SAKi0?t=85 It looks tolerably legible to me. Definitely OK for playing music or dunno, watching soccer recaps or tech videos

  buy the cheapest smartphone from alibaba

  These feature phones are aimed at people living in countries who don’t have this privilege. If all I could afford is a 20 EUR phone I’d be pretty happy with having the cloud apps that I normally couldn’t be able to use. I’m sure that the executives at HMD don’t ask themselves “are we not violating the definition of the dumbphone?”, they’re trying to make their product attractive to sell the most units. And apparently the ability to watch YT or check cricket scores (the cloud apps), and in the future maybe WhatsApp, are just that.

  Though yeah, my post is more about feature phones, not real dumbphones as I wrote in the title.

  I wrote this by hand. Does Deepseek find videos with links to a timestamp?

  I think they resell www.open-xchange.com so they were dependent on them accomodating Keycloak (identity solution used by mailbox)

  I agree with the person you’re replying to in the sense that Linus’s decision is OK, but the delivery could be less “idiotic”. This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold “Yes we have some things happening. Can’t tell more for now” would’ve been fine.

  I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

  Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the chest pumping? I’m Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it’s just so childish from Linus.
