I don't know, fear mongering is a very traditional and expected conservative policy. It's the ultimate nothing-burger they use to distract from the real issues that they're not going to fix.
The CP should change its acronym to CLP for the Chicken Little Party 'cause it's really well known for running around in circles screaming "THE SKY IS FALLING!".
This stuff is as fake as the American Second Amendment being untouchable. Totally okay for them as long as it's kids getting gunned down as soon as it becomes a threat to them it isn't a thing.
And I do think people find literal Nazi's very justifably threatening and turns out people on the left also has guns so I don't think this will stick around even if they pass something for it.
I always wonder what the tipping point is for failed government policies as the world slips deeper into dystopia and the old beat goes on. If people are starving and freezing in the street you don't invest in commodities, do you? You try to feed them and get them some warmth, so they don't die. Fiscal prudence should never enter the equation for these types of issues. The best we have here is kill someone before they kill you?
Conservatives think letting them die is the "fiscally responsible" option. Even if there are mountains of evidence suggesting otherwise the concept sounds simple and "common sense" enough for their base.
Long before generative AI, copyright holders warned that new technologies for reading and analyzing information would destroy creativity. Internet search engines, they argued, were infringement machines—tools that copied copyrighted works at scale without permission. As they had with earlier information technologies like the photocopier and the VCR, copyright owners sued.
Courts disagreed. They recognized that copying works in order to understand, index, and locate information is a classic fair use—and a necessary condition for a free and open internet.
Today, the same argument is being recycled against AI. It’s whether copyright owners should be allowed to control how others analyze, reuse, and build on existing works.

The Kurdish People must decide their own destiny, the siege must end! The Kurdish forces, who for years have been fighting to stop the atrocities of ISIS in Syria, a key country in the Middle East, have been continuously and progressively cornered and strangled ever since the rise to power of the Al-Shaara regime which is a remnant of Al-Qaeda and ISIS. The agreement of March 10th, signed between the PYD (Democratic Union Party, active in the Autonomous Administration of North-East Syria, also known as North-East Syria or Rojava) and the Al-Shaara regime, which was allowed to “mature” until the new year, has increasingly been used as a sword against the Kurds. Starting from the beginning of 2026, Syrian military forces, along with gangs from the civil-war era and Turkish-backed Syrian National Army forces (of the Al-Shaara regime), have begun attacking residential areas of Aleppo, expelling Kurds from two neighborhoods and, advancing from Raqqa, have encircled Rojava.

The Kurdish People must decide their own destiny, the siege must end! The Kurdish forces, who for years have been fighting to stop the atrocities of ISIS in Syria, a key country in the Middle East, have been continuously and progressively cornered and strangled ever since the rise to power of the Al-Shaara regime which is a remnant of Al-Qaeda and ISIS. The agreement of March 10th, signed between the PYD (Democratic Union Party, active in the Autonomous Administration of North-East Syria, also known as North-East Syria or Rojava) and the Al-Shaara regime, which was allowed to “mature” until the new year, has increasingly been used as a sword against the Kurds. Starting from the beginning of 2026, Syrian military forces, along with gangs from the civil-war era and Turkish-backed Syrian National Army forces (of the Al-Shaara regime), have begun attacking residential areas of Aleppo, expelling Kurds from two neighborhoods and, advancing from Raqqa, have encircled Rojava. The objective of these attacks are to destroy and drown in blood the Kurdish self administrative system formed in Rojava in 2012 and to crush the Kurdish resistance. The elimination of Rojava is one of the greatest ambition of the Erdoğan regime as well, which has launched the so-called “Turkey free from terrorism” campaign domestically. Turkey is now imposing its will on the Kurdish people in Syria (to “get rid of Rojava”) in order to further advance its strategy of becoming a regional power, while engaging in so-called shuttle diplomacy between the United States and the Al-Assad regime. The attacks on and siege of Rojava, which the state and capitalist controlled media are portraying as a victory for Erdoğan, demonstrate a recurring pattern of betrayal against the Kurds. Behind this lies a sell-out agreement, emerging as local and international powers gradually reshape the region through negotiations and force on the ground. ISIS forces, now aligned with the US to dismantle Rojava’s status; US imperialism, which continues to cooperate with ISIS by claiming to fight it; the Turkish government, which encourages armed gangs and declares Al-Shaara a brother; and reactionary Middle Eastern dictatorships are all descending upon Rojava together. And the appointed colonial governor, and American billionaire, Tom Barrack, is busy coordinating this united front. Rojava belongs to the people of Rojava, and the fate of the region must be determined by all the peoples who live there. Our party stands with the people of Rojava, whose homeland was established and protected at the cost of the lives of the Kurdish people. We must not remain silent in the face of the massacre of the Kurds in Rojava; the demands of the Kurdish people must be recognized, and the siege must end.

I'm kinda addicted to the standard 2" hexagon stickers. I decided to make my own since they didn't all come in hex. Whoever loses between Obsidian and Trilium (open to other suggestions) gets replaced with ceph.
I went through a few print providers and found Printify's default sticker printer to be really good. Much better quality than I had been getting out of the Redbubble or Teepublic printing. And yes, each logo is actually a composite of 24 triangles that makes a mosaic that resembles the logo. It was fun to make them and then squint and be like, yeah, that does look like the Debian swirl. After I finished my laptop I kept making new ones and put them up for sale. If there's any project you think I should do next, let me know.
I wish it was that sophisticated. I 3D printed a stencil or jig to line up the edges and use a razor knife on my kitchen cutting board. It works well enough. I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I'm using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I'm tired of hex FOSS.
WASHINGTON—In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
L’azienda statunitense propone un software che consente alle organizzazioni europee di mantenere il totale controllo delle loro infrastrutture tecnologiche AI. Punti chiave: indipendenza dalle piattaforme e un approccio open source
PeerWeb is a revolutionary way to host and share websites using WebTorrent technology. Instead of relying on centralized servers, websites are distributed across a peer-to-peer network, making them censorship-resistant and always available. 🌍✨
AI looks set to be transformative for us all, but it also brings a real risk of job losses and widening social and economic divides. UN experts are focusing on how to manage that transition, to ensure the benefits of the technology outweigh the threats.
Four hundred bucks for 8gb of ram, three face plates, the upgraded uber slow processor and 128gb of storage. 3.92” amoled screen.
Four fifty for an ayn Thor with 16gb of ram, 1tb nvme. 6” amoled screen and 3.92” bottom amoled screen.
That’s how I escaped the marketing. Pricing and specs. If your primary use case is just gaming and not a very low power handheld PC, it’s just not good.
A $90 miyoo mini plus 128gb is just fine for small portable handheld emulator too. Sold on Amazon and not a kickstarter fantasy that could take years. I’m sure there’s many other better options.
These things don’t have feature parity. They don’t do all the same things. They are however way better at what they do.
I have thought about the thor or whatever vita looking thing they have but the reality is that I probably wouldn't do a ton of emulation right now. These devices look cool as hell, but I don't need more tech ewaste/paperweights.
I have a deck and hardly use it when I go anywhere because being an adult is a shitload of responsibility and relationship work... and next to no time alone where I can game in peace. lol
If I still had a subway/train commute or I was still a bachelor in my 20s or 30s it would be another story though. Deck is way too big for the subway, but the thor is basically just a 3DS. I used a 3ds/vita/ds for over a decade almost daily because of my commute.
I love my Ally X deck. That's why I didn't buy a Thor. I can run emulators on that. I'm afraid to take it anywhere. And yeah, it feels more like the weight of a musical instrument than a handheld device.
Y tho. Gaming seems like the only reasonable use case, and even that will depend on price as there are dozens of devices like this already. I would love a Linux phone, but give it a normal sized touch screen please
Modular computing always seems to fall victim to Moore's law/similar, everything core get so much better every 5 years, that by the time you want to refresh anything, it's usually time to upgrade the whole thing.
Periferals are nice but USB is already a multivendor connector standard and if the choice is 3d printing cases or trusting a vendor to exist in 10 years I'm betting on 3d printers for now.
Hope I'm wrong but this isn't the first time I've seen a project like this.
At the end of the day the n900 was the ultimate portable Linux machine, but it died because within 10 years you could do all of that on an android device AND have a decent phone too.
Most people are on the bandwagon of buying the shiny new thing with a bigger version number once every year or two (even when the old one still works perfectly).
The mecha comet is one of those devices that get hyped up among the nerds, but after a month 90%of them will either gather dust on a shelf or end up on the second hand market for cheap. You can see the same pattern in many nieche hardware subcultures, linux phones, flipper zero, raspberry pis, various digital music gadgets, AI bs hardware etc.
(I have like 20 random things like that rotting in a box, just to be transparent)
I personally can't say that I agree, especially in current economic conditions.
Many people do buy the shiny new things regularly, but I would argue that most people can't afford that luxury and try to get the most life out of what they own.
On a separate note: I can't speak to Linux phones, digital music gadgets, or AI hardware, but raspberry pis and flipper zeros on the second hand market are absolutely not cheap, and regularly sell for MSRP of new devices.
I'm sorry to hear that you've struggled to find regular use of those 20 random things, but that doesn't mean your experience is representative of most people.
Is the whole bottom half just for a modular thingy. Could it just be a phone half that size, put a usbc on the bottom and some rails to accept an interlocking modular whatever.
Just missing Bluetooth. But it's really cool! I guess you could plug in USB c headphones. Really like the HDMI port, could have done mini HDMI, but, regular size gives more flexibility. Edit: Oop it has Bluetooth, lost my money idk if I can stop myself from buying it
I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it...
(M.2/NVMe, LTE and 5G, GPIO)
I don't....
(Planned support for LoRa, Meshtastic, and FPGAs)
I...
(Everything open source, useful for me at work, employer will pay for)
Sold!
It doesn't seem to be especially performant for games based on the videos they've put out, but a solid handheld with these specific features, and separate from my mission critical work android phone will hopefully be very useful.
I already have a work laptop running Linux, but it doesn't support GPIO or LoRa without additional dongles/accessories. Working on industrial equipment while occasionally in remote locations, makes this device appealing to me specifically.
I'm also fortunate to have my employer willing to foot the bill, especially when they can also see the utility of this device in our line of work.
If you don't work in this specific niche, your mileage will obviously vary.
I don't know what's LoRa though, but can't you just plug an Arduino board to the computer's USB port and get a bunch of GPIOs? It's cheap. It's durable.
LoRa is a low power radio communication protocol that is very useful for warehouse and farming equipment, among many other things. I currently use ESP32s for GPIO, LoRa, and Wifi, and occasionally FPGAs for various tasks. But ad-hoc testing and diagnosis can be a pain for these devices, requiring multiple different dongles, power adapters, and converters.
If I can consolidate 75% of that gear into a single, handheld device, it will easily pay for itself in productivity gains.
LTE and NVME is mutually exclusive on the device I believe.
If all you need is a 3.92” screen, 8GB of ram or less, 128GB of space plus an sd card, and a tiny screen then it’s fine. Kickstarter though means unknown delivery date. I don’t think they’ve sold anything before?
It's great you have a solution for yourself - and it's good to share. But please don't intentionally try to destroy someones excitement with something like "No, You don't need it". We don't need more negativity.
Thank you for calling this kind of behaviour out, but hopefully you can see I was mimicking OP's "I don't need it" self-convincing speech, by being his "angel on the shoulder". It was done in a joking manner, and I apologise to any one who interpreted it in another way.
A smartphone is literally a handheld computer with more capability than this. Save for game controls, there is very little that a touchscreen doesn't completely replace with full flexibility (besides, unless it's the size of a Gameboy, the vertical controller layout sucks).
This isn't a new concept either, as I'm pretty sure I've seen two phones and one whole laptop using this exact drop-in modularity gimmick. They all failed.
Having a dedicated handheld device with the features of a smartphone, running Linux natively (not just android), and also GPIO and LoRa are what make this especially appealing to me. Everything being open source brings this from "I'll probably buy this" to "shut up and take my money" for me personally.
Sure, I could probably get accessories to achieve the same thing with my work phone. But if something catastrophic happens and the phone is damaged, I'm having a very bad day. Damaging a $300-400 device sucks, but I can still call my boss and ask him to order a replacement and receive calls from customers at the end of the day.
Of course these specific benefits are unique to me and my line of work. I also thankfully have a boss who trusts my judgment when purchasing new tools and tech, and a budget that can easily accommodate this kind of investment and risk.
To some people, like half the comments and myself included, think the idea is that it's cool. The playdate doesn't solve any problems, it adds a gimmick to an existing format and its cool.
Or, you could put the resources that went into this thing that'll eventually become a forgotten novelty (e-waste), and develope a Linux smartphone that is fully open source.
The skeptic in me is a little suspicious, this sounds too good to be true. I've already been burned out from other crowdfunded projects where the company just dissapeared or simply couldn't deliver anything before running out of money. Like the Pandora.
Nowadays I only back projects from companies that have successfully released something before, so this will be a wait and see. If they can deliver I may buy one when it's released.
It's not crappy, it's appropriate for the use case. This is not some flagship android phone, it's meant for tinkering, for texting, maybe some mariocart on the metro. Also the thing doesn't cost $1000+, which is a good thing.
We'll see on it's release, but it's very positive the growing appearance of modular open phones with Linux based OS. Meanwhile there is FairPhone from the Netherland as years ago released mature product, full modular, using LinageOS or e-OS
Hello everyone, and good evening. I got to old motorola phones (one fusion and a g8) and I'm gonna install ip webcam to put them to some use. Is there any other way I can make use of them with HA? Can I use their sensors for anything else?
