they/them
Yes they share many similarities with the FSF, but they are separate, and have some different viewpoints on things. You can’t use something they do as an argument as to why FSF is good, when the actual FSF doesn’t do that thing. They also dislike RMS, who is also one of @onlinepersona@programming.dev 's arguments against the FSF.
FSFE is not the same as FSF. It’s a completely independent organisation.
I used waydroid for whatsapp, though any android emulator will probably work. To create the account, there was an option to verify a phone number by sending a text message (to a dumb phone with a burner sim card in my case). I use whatsapp web to read and send messages, and only have to open waydroid every few months to sign-in again.
[…] drones will carry items to Graemsay and Hoy where postal staff will complete their delivery routes.
Graemsay gets 2-5 ferries a day (assuming the passenger ferry can take mail), Hoy gets the same ferry, plus 3-6 a day at the other end of the island.
This feels similar to this experiment on North Ronaldsay, which already has 3 flights a day, which can deliver the mail. I think Carla (in the video) puts it well - there is the odd occasion where the mail has to be left till the next flight, due to the plane being overweight.
(Also, I don’t see how this new trial is more of a “service” than the North Ronaldsay one, so the headline is kind of incorrect. Also, “Orkney has become the first location in the UK to have mail delivered by drone.” is a complete lie, even thought they link the other article right below it.)
I’d be more interested seeing the delivery vans replaced with smaller electric vehicles. Usually when I get my mail delivered, it seems that the passenger seat is large enough to store most people’s deliveries.
Yeah, the Orkney Islands are also experimenting with tidal generators (Wikipedia/European Marine Energy Centre), though the weather there is ideal for wind energy.
