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.

I don’t see any indication of AI integration on Codeberg, and in fact one of the features of the project is that it is lightweight and simple to set-up. Unsure if integrating potentially resource intensive or complex AI aligns with those properties.

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

It would be from Lenovo.

You may need to update the UEFI firmware.

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

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.
