If I have to have a computer, imo it’s not open. It should just be in the air or it’s literally an impossible barrier for anyone to get past.

Did you find a company that pays you in beer?

It’s kinda tricky because you can get a VPS set up really cheap. Like 5 dollars a month cheap or a bit more if you want something more feature rich. But the more instances you federate with, the more storage you’ll need since you’re basically mirroring all of the content you can see. So your cost for storage will go up every month pretty much forever.

I would imagine, like most startups, a large chunk of their compensation is stocks and their valuation has gone up quite a bit. So what would normally be ~$400k total compensation has shot up but a large portion of it is theoretical.

The fun thing is that even if you’re not there, they have a shadow profile to track you

I’m pretty sure it’s just scraping old.reddit.com which is difficult to block. You probably can’t log in, post, comment, vote, etc right?

The mods seem to not like Lemmy specifically but I don’t know what their plan is. It seems like they’re just gonna be in this restricted mode forever. Makes it easier to leave Reddit though.

The fact that they’re connected makes it very romantic

There’s a lot of money wrapped up in the Linux ecosystem. They would be no shortage of people to sue them. It would also be pretty hard to hide that your operating system is secretly Linux. The operating system image can be pulled off the phone and inspected. It would be a massive effort and probably futile to obscure. On top of that, Google has a lot of employees and someone would whistle blow. They would have to really go draconian locking things down.
