    There's also a Fairphone Open version of Android, but you have to install this yourself:

    https://code.fairphone.com/

    I'm not a consumer law expert, but I'm guessing that anyone selling new phones with non-Google OSes preinstalled would have to provide tech support for that OS?

    If it's something like Lineage there is a lot that can go wrong and it would take a lot of resources to support it.

    Fairphone isn't a huge multinational.

    @requrious

    They let the shortener provider follow other people's traffic, and if the provider disappears lots of links get broken.

    But on Mastodon they are also pointless because they don't actually save you any characters.

    It's too big to do it yourself, but too sensitive to be run by others?

    Doesn't sound like there's any ethical solution possible in that case... :blobsad:

    Reminder that you don't need to use link shorteners like bit.ly etc on Mastodon.

    All links on Mastodon count for 23 characters no matter how long or short they actually are.

    Also, you can use Nextcloud without hosting it, there are third party providers who let people sign up for individual accounts:
    https://nextcloud.com/signup/

    And managed hosting providers make hosting a bit easier:

    @greyor

    I'm not an expert on hosting things, but I think it's possible to install Nextcloud on shared hosting.

    And you can install @Carnet on Nextcloud (and your phone) to replace Google Keep.

    You may know @nextcloud offers a free open storage system, but did you know it also has its own app ecosystem?

    There are lots of extra apps you can add to your Nextcloud:

    (Includes collaborative document editing, music streaming, video calling, calendar syncing, note taking, XMPP chat and lots more)

    @vampirdaddy @dionys_rbe @nextcloud

    Thanks for the info.

    About the XMPP thing, why does it say "xmpp server backend" on it if it's just a client?

    @af @nextcloud

    Which option you choose depends on how technical you are 👍

    Easiest is just sign up with a third party provider, there's a signup tool here:
    https://nextcloud.com/signup/

    (Note, this tool signs people up with a pool of third parties, it isn't signing people up on Nextcloud.com itself.)

    Harder but slightly more independent is using a managed hosting provider:
    https://nextcloud.com/providers/

    Hardest but most independent is installing Nextcloud on your own server:
    https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server

    Can anyone share any of their experience hosting a #peertube instance for their own videos? Curious about approximate hosting storage and bandwidth requirements primarily.

    I'm considering employing PeerTube as part of an #IndieWeb #POSSE approach, posting all my videos on my own domain first then to other platforms after that.

    @grammost

    Fairphone is about paying people a fair wage, i.e. more than the market rate.

    The only reason people buy this hardware is specifically to give workers better working conditions.

    If you're going to dismiss an initiative like this that people have dedicated years to building up, it would be nice to hear specific realistic actions that you would advocate instead.

    @devnull @Fairphone @WeAreFairphone

    I don't know if it is as simple as that :/

    Shipping an alternative OS direct to consumers would mean having to offer full tech support for it, which could suck up a lot of resources.

    It would be nice as an option though, yeah.

    @devnull @Fairphone @WeAreFairphone

    Sure, but there are ethics to do with manufacturing hardware too (working conditions, conflict funding, child labour etc).

    I said "tech fan" just because the process of installing an alternative OS is technically quite difficult, much more difficult than installing an OS on a computer :blobsad:
