kind of what i’m thinking of doing with pds.witchcraft.systems in the long-term, but not confident enough yet to actually start charging money for it and be able to guarantee anything
at least in a sense of mirroring it to a backup VPS somewhere to which it can fail over if the actual server fails

ok that's insanely cool
but also i wonder how well it works in CD players that have transparent windows in them that let light through

with them being very good and proactive about their environmental impact, the working conditions etc of their employees and partners (farmers, fishers, etc), and in general being aligned in the direction of making a world a better place instead of exploiting everything they can

or just at the now playing line on astrra.space

I really like Osaka so I really want to, but its probably going to be crowded as hell and the hotels/etc will be super expensive

with one of the focal points being long-range communication that you can't really experiment with in the city too much due to all the noise and the tall buildings
so, still connected, but in a very very different way, on the levels of you having to actually "get online" like with a dial-up modem

tbh the intention was to still have cool tech in the house, it's just that the calibre of tech would be very different, way closer to stuff like permacomputing and focused on local-first setups in general
so, like, stuff that doesn't really care if it's in an office or on an antarctic base

i mean yeah
there’s obviously other methods of charging your stuff on the go, i could recommend just carrying a bigger powerbank ffs

I mean I also have one, but not everyone does
And my original post was more of a “this is possible” than “you should do this”

Basically it’s up to the developer but there are no limitations for that in the OS itself

NFC payments as a feature - work without issues
Google Pay specifically - doesn’t work due to google not allowing it
Same with anything that requires the highest level of SafetyNet (or whatever its newest iteration is called) attestation. Stuff that needs the “basic” level attestation works tho
