It looks like Twitter users are explicitly paying to access the Fediverse using servers like @bird.makup.

I don’t know but it might be inextricably linked to Googles content servers or reliant on services in such a way that it can’t simply be stripped of the telemetry in the way VSCodium is for example.

It’s nice that Arch is providing an easier installation method, it’s counter-productive for many users to have to contend with such detail just to have a functioning system.

Oh that’s a nice project for them to participate in!

It would be from Lenovo.

You may need to update the UEFI firmware.

I mean… that’s fair enough.

That’s crazy.

That’s the crazy part… how would they know it’s real regardless of the type of ID I post!?

I gave them an generic “alias” through a more mainstream service than silomails, we’ll see if that pacifies them.

Exactly it’s a completely false distinction. All email addresses are an “alias”.

Another option would be to get a laptop which is verified to work with most or all of QubesOS security features.

There is Lelapa, llamafile, GPT-NeoX-20B, BLOOM, Mixtrai8x7B come to mind which are not included at gpt4all.io.

Currently I think the most eco-friendly option is a Framework.

I’m not clear who the intended audience is here. A self-moderated micro-blogging platform is what most people needed all along, which is why the Fediverse exists. The real question remains how a corporate Fedi-protocol is going to interact with advertisers and marketers.
