Yep, plus a bunch of AI generated music (or music they bought from producers for cheap onetime fees) that Spotify throws in there so they don't have to pay actual artists.

It's in the article.

Of their $291M in revenue, they reported a gross profit of $258M and an operating profit of $15.5M.

Bias lightning (proper white light) is actually helpful with led displays. It increases perceived contrast (i also think it helps with blooming a bit). Not needed for OLEDs though and coloured lights is more of a gimmick.

Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source and Linux more than any other company around. Are they perfect? Of course not, and it's fair and good to discuss and criticise them when warranted. But overall they seem to contribute positively much more than negatively.

How are they "doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem." exactly ?

Fair, I was not aware of that exception. It does seem to cover this case, assuming Google is actually not sending any data outside of the phone, use it for further training etc.

The person owning the phone where the processing takes place, is the processor of the data in this case. That still requires consent from the data subject per gdpr.

In many places call recording (or indeed processing of personal information which is highly likely to be present in phone calls) requires consent to be legal. I highly doubt this kind of processing is legal in the EU without both parties consenting.

S10e is great. It's what I've been using as well, but it doesn't get security updates anymore. Been using a custom rom which does get Android security updates, but there was a pretty serious SoC level security vulnerability which won't get fixed for the S10e.

I'll get a Pixel 8a instead. No headphone jack, slightly larger, only 1 physical sim. But can run GrapheneOS and have a long promised update period.

This is from 2023, but this might still be a good read on how to get to a very low watt idle build, there's a few more post on other older builds on that blog as well: https://mattgadient.com/7-watts-idle-on-intel-12th-13th-gen-the-foundation-for-building-a-low-power-server-nas/

None basically. There's a Sony phone has LineageOS (including +microg variant) support, but it's not ideal either.

The Linux Foundation has a mentorship programme which is really great, might be worth a look, although I am not sure how easy it is to get accepted: https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/mentorship/mentees
