I'm usually enjoying reading Open Source stories from @bagder but this time, it's up to me to tell you a story. Double check you are seated before reading it.

Ground control to Major Trial

When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense.

Just discovered an amazing search feature in #mastodon !

Use the field "in:library" to search only in the toots you have interacted with some day.

Using this, I just dug out a toot from an exchange I had in mid-2023 in 1 second, and which was lost among a gazillion of other bookmarks.

I’ve been listening to https://www.noiser.com/titanic-ship-of-dreams, once again, a great #podcast from Noiser.

Interviewees mention several times it was a freak disaster that could only have happened as dramatically as it did due to the compounding of many problems. I start seeing that too now.

It’s actually impressive to learn in just how many ways the horrible loss of life could have been averted.

The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;

- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)

- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days

- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity

And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.

Smartphones and Tablets

Product Energy Efficiency - Smartphones and Tablets. The 2023 regulations cover smartphones, feature phones, cordless phones and slate tablets. They do not apply to tablet computers, to products with flexible main display (roll-up), and to smartphones for high security communication. Energy labelling is foreseen only for smartphones and slate tablets.

Finally, the Browser Choice prompt after the iOS 18.3.2 update made me pick Firefox as my default browser. I had chosen Safari there 3-4 times before... so this EU-mandated question works if repeated enough?

I guess my desktop browser switch to FF last summer helped. I've learned to appreciate Tab Containers since, and I don't experience dealbreaking issues.

It looks like #Mozilla aims to compete with Gmail, Outlook, and smaller alternatives too. The pitch sounds good! -> https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/T437cd854afcb1395 - the world's over-reliance on the big data-harvesting players is not a good thing.

The revenue model also looks straightforward. Despite my slight hesitancy stemming from https://killedbymozilla.com/ this sounds encouraging. I for one would gladly claim [email protected] ⛈️🔨 #Thundermail
