At least it's not a WD POS

Thanks I'll check it out. I had sidebery install but never really used it and didn't think of re-installing on my latest OS wipe.

"-1" is not just hypervisors, things like Intel Management and AMD Platform Security Processor can peer into system memory. I have no doubt similar system exist on ARM, I suspect the radio transceiver can also read system memory and read secrets out of the security devices.

I don't think modern phones are trustable devices. They are opaque blackboxes, pretending to have high security but this security only really protects the spyware operators from being notices.

I don't think it's coincidence that the most "secure" and "private" operating system only operates on a very narrow model selection of phones from just one manufacturer. Probably because they have the best technology to keep the inherent backdoor invisible and implausible. A backdoor to a system nobody trusts wouldn't be very useful.

As far as the editor, this is great. I pasted formatted text out of libre office into it and everything was fine except the images. Way better than a lot of the options here.

Althought one caveat, and it might be a big one,
It seems it can't actually host files publicly, you need to publish them to a third party cloud hosting platform...

But other wise, it's very nice...
There has to be a way !

The overwhelming majority of them don't, traditionnal rooftop installs don't either.

Strange that google is the only option for the only "secure" operating system.
Hey, do you know what is Ring Level minus One ?

Japan’s slower adoption of generative AI appears increasingly out of step with global trends, raising concerns about the country's ability to keep pace with rapidly evolving digital technologies. In a global economy where speed, adaptability, and innovation are becoming essential, Japan's continued emphasis on traditional standards of quality, formality, and craftsmanship may be contributing to a widening gap. While other countries embrace AI-generated content as a practical tool for boosting productivity and creativity, Japan remains cautious, with many institutions and individuals still hesitant to rely on these technologies. This reluctance may reflect cultural preferences for precision and polish, but in practice, it risks leaving Japanese industries behind as global competitors move forward more aggressively.

A key factor in this lag may be the enduring strength of the shokunin ethos — the deep-rooted reverence for manual mastery, craft, and the pursuit of perfection through human effort. While this value system has long defined Japan’s creative and professional identity, it also fosters resistance to automation and digital tools that prioritize efficiency over traditional skill. For example, while generative AI can rapidly generate text, visuals, and designs, many in Japan may still view such outputs as lacking the integrity or emotional depth of human-made work. But in sectors where cost, speed, and scalability are critical, such reservations can be a liability. Other nations are rapidly integrating generative AI into everything from marketing to software development. If Japan continues to cling to purely human processes, it risks falling further behind.

Institutionally, the country’s consensus-driven decision-making style, while useful in maintaining harmony, can inhibit swift technological transitions. Businesses and government agencies often require broad internal agreement before making structural changes, which slows adoption. In the case of generative AI, this means many Japanese firms are still in the planning phase, while competitors abroad are already deploying AI tools in live environments. As of fiscal 2024, only 26.7 percent of Japanese people reported using generative AI, compared to over 80 percent in China and nearly 70 percent in the U.S. Just under half of Japanese companies said they plan to adopt the technology, again far below global benchmarks. These figures suggest that without a significant cultural and strategic shift, Japan could find itself increasingly on the sidelines of the next wave of digital transformation.

Japan’s cautious approach to generative AI is not a sign of technological hesitance, but rather a reflection of a culture that holds itself, and its creations, to a higher standard of beauty, meaning, and care. In a world increasingly driven by speed and shortcuts, Japan stands apart, guided by a deep cultural instinct for precision, elegance, and harmony. Where other nations may celebrate the novelty of AI-generated content, Japan asks something more essential: Is it right? Is it worthy? Is it beautiful? This is a society where a single word misused or a brushstroke misplaced can dishonor the entire work. In such a context, the clumsy, often soulless output of generative AI feels crude, even offensive. Japan’s reverence for form and function in perfect balance naturally breeds a resistance to technology that values convenience over quality, volume over virtue.

At the heart of this resistance lies the soul of Japanese culture: the shokunin spirit. This is not just about craftsmanship, but a sacred devotion to mastery, humility, and purpose. Whether it’s a tea master preparing a single cup, an itamae slicing fish with centuries of tradition behind the blade, or an animator hand-drawing frame after frame with tears in their eyes, Japanese creators imbue their work with heart, history, and honor. In comparison, generative AI, with its detached algorithms and instant results, feels like an insult to that sacred process. To take shortcuts in creation is, in this worldview, to disrespect the soul of the craft itself. AI may be able to mimic styles, ape voices, or mash up aesthetics, but it cannot dream, reflect, or suffer for art. That absence is not neutral. It is a kind of aesthetic blasphemy in a society where effort is beauty, and spirit is inseparable from form.

Moreover, Japan’s collective approach to decision-making, grounded in harmony and consensus, reflects a profound respect for social cohesion and interdependence. Unlike more individualistic cultures that rush to adopt the newest trends with little reflection, Japan moves deliberately, ensuring that any change honors both tradition and people. The introduction of generative AI, with its potential to destabilize labor, creative norms, and human dignity, is not taken lightly. In the West, disruption is seen as exciting. In Japan, it is measured against centuries of wisdom. This isn’t resistance born of fear. It is the patience of a culture that knows that not all progress is good, and not all that is fast is wise. As the world races ahead with AI-generated noise, Japan listens more deeply to the silence, to the soul, to the subtle art of doing things right. And in that restraint, there is not backwardness, but beauty.

I suspect that the lens makes the whole solar assembly more directional and the Sun moves in the sky.

What was the stuff like this of 15 years ago ?

Oh that one looks nice ! thanks

Ok, well I see it's not what I'm hoping for And by not this, I mean this

What is the DSM diagnosis for more than 100 open tabs ?

I am aware of self hosted "blogs" but that's not what I want.

A better way to explain what I want is

This, but opensource and self-hosted

https://pastebinrichtext.com/

with per-file access control

It's hard to tell if any of these are the thing I'm looking for or not.

I have 64 gb I reboot daily or else the system becomes unusable.

Most tabs aren't loaded since it takes often many gigabytes to display simple text pages in 2025.

I have no way to know how many actually active tabs I have but it's not more than a few dozens and then firefox just starts deleting data from memory as if it could be obtained again later.

I'm reading the grav page and I have no idea how this is.

Is this like this

    
Press a button
rich text editor appears
write stuff
press save
send link

  

That's what I'm aiming for. I had a look, and the blog platform are so much clunkier and frustrating to use. And each of these seems to want to eat several of my weekends to install so I don't have the luxury of reviewing all of them.

Well, I'm hoping someone has a better one, or at least can confirm that one of the things I listed isn't actually a huge waste of time.

Yes, like that except not with a terrible interface that looks like the unholy union of vscode and vim.

I want something that is more akin to using microsoft word except it's in the browser and not made by satan Something I can recomment to people and know they're not going to come back to me and ask "what is a markdown code block"
