The first visit to a gym could be free. Or it can be a “a current member can bring one friend for free once a month” thing. You can just go and check what’s out there. Most people probably just lift weights or use the machines that they don’t have and don’t want to buy at home. There’s also the factor that if you’re at the gym, you’re there to work out. When you’re at home, you can be distracted by whatever.

True. Edited the title to bold the “busted” part

Reading the grant link from the OP - https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/results-2024-call-european-digital-reporting there’s also a second project with ~2M eur which sounds like “Wero for journalism”:

AskEurope The project aims to create a new type of information platform dealing with European affairs, by using innovative formats and forms of distribution. The creation of a database with EU media outlets’ archives, complemented by the integration of an AI-based chatbot, is innovate and will increase the engagement with readers. Available in 7 EU languages, the content has diverse formats, from breaking news, live streams and daily news to in-depth reporting and long investigation.

It entails a consortium is coordinated by Agence France Presse (FR), accompanied by Mediaconnect (FR), Deutsche Welle (DE), France Medias Monde (FR), Radio France Internationale Romania (RO), Druid (RO), Xwiki SAS (FR), Xwiki Software (FR), Deutsche Presse Agentur (DE), News Aktuell (GE), Agenzia Ansa Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata – Società Cooperative (IT), Grupa Radiowa Agory (PL), Ediciones El Pais (ES), Centro Per La Cooperazione Internazional (IT), Fundacion Maldita (ES).

To mods: I know this reads like an ad (because it “is”, but I’m just a reader, I’m not releated to them in any way, I just like what they do). It’s a non-profit granted by the European Commission so I hope it’s ok. Put me in secret CIA jail if not

For example, some people don’t like that it’s centralized. It’s not like e-mail, where you can register with any provider and then cross-communicate. Moxie wrote more about this here

I switched to a feature phone that has nothing to do with Android for calling (Mocor RTOS aka S30+) because I’m tired of fighting Android for the moment. I keep an unrooted smartphone at home for online banking. Kinda extreme but that’s one way.

Ah. I guess the functionality descriptions may not be up to speed since it’s just entered testing - that’s how they describe it in the e-mail I got from their newsletter (that it just entered testing). Here they say they don’t apply legal filtering. So the domain the other poster mentioned could be added by mistake

dns0.eu is a French non‑profit organization founded in 2022 by Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey — co-founders of NextDNS.

DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.

I have a t-shirt and a baseball cap from them. The t-shirt with the embroidery logo is a little thin, the blank t-shirt comes from Stanley & Stella. The baseball cap is from Atlantis Headwear - I like that it has a QR code on the tag where it shows that particular baseball cap’s supply chain.

I think people wear NASA gear in Europe because it’s the western default - the same way they wear Converse and Nike. Wearing ESA merch sprinkles European identity where you’re used to seeing an American pop culture import. It almost feels like a play on a fashion trope - “you’re used to people wearing NASA, but ha it’s ESA!”

Unfortunately there’s this post too: https://blog.bananahackers.net/farooqkz/on-the-state-of-kaios-and-bananahackers-community-as-of-summer-of-2023

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.

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 originally wrote in the title.

also, how does it even run a web browser when the whole device has just 128 MB RAM. will the device crash if I load up facebook. com?

The heavy lifting is offloaded to the servers (“cloud”), I think. The data you receive is how to draw the elements in the remote browser.

I wrote this by hand. It’s a fact list because I don’t want the research I’ve done to be lost. Does Deepseek find videos with links to a timestamp?
