Conversations/Cheogram are excellent XMPP apps for Android that are freely available on F-Droid.

If would need to be patched in on Linux kernel level, which is annoying to say the least.

When devs switch their development PCs to ARM, you will also start seeing ARM native versions. It is the same with Linux and Proton.

Given that they did have a beta for Steam on x86 Chromebooks, and Google seems hellbend to replace ChromeOS with an modified version of Android (“AluminiumOS”) these days, it seems likely that Valve will also consider a release for that. I wouldn’t expect them to make an official release for phones though.

After finishing to read the interview it does indeed sound different, but it is odd that this isn’t open-source somewhere like Proton and Fex always were.

I guess that is a streamlined version of Waydroid?

Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.

A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.

2015 is now a decade ago 🤷

Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn’t a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.

The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.

https://movim.eu/ can do that AFAIK, but for now the A/V calls don’t go through an SFU distribution server (coming soonish), so it will not scale to many participants. But if you want to only stream to a few people (like max. 5 or so, depends a bit on your and their internet speed) it should work.

It’s nice that they ported it, but it would be much nicer if there were any server boards with open firmware that not super old, but right now being cycled out of professional use and thus cheap to pick up from resellers.

Lol, wat? I have not seen Anubis even once in front of a static page. You are either making shit up or don’t understand what a static site is 🤦

Well… you found your problem then. It is neither my problem, nor a problem of apartments in general 🤷

DSub2000 is also fairly nice for Android.

Many apartments are owned by the inhabitants or are cooperatively managed.

That is a silly assumption, like why would you assume the worst possible setup? And it would be much easier to talk to the person managing the apartment internet than having to deal with some AI chatbot that pretends to be the support at some shitty ISP.

They didn’t really have a choice for the Frame, due to the inside-out tracking features requiring image processing stuff most easily available in those Qualcomm chips. But sure, in a few years when there might be a Steam Deck successor, they will probably weight their options also based on how well FEX did on the Frame. The chances will be probably higher if some 3rd party developers port SteamOS to some currently Android based handhelds.

Obviously I don’t think you need Anubis for a static site. And if that is what your admin experience is limited too, than you have a strong case of dunning krueger.

No one is disputing that in theory (!) Anubis offers very little protection against an adversary that specifically tries to circumvent it, but we are dealing with an elephant in the porcelain shop kind of situation. The AI companies simply don’t care if they kill off small independently hosted web-applications with their scraping and Anubis is the mouse that is currently sufficient to make them back off.

And no, forced site reloads are extremely disruptive for web-applications and often force a lot of extra load for re-authentication etc. It is not as easy as you make it sound.
