nostr:npub1d76s7zapvltswuyrayjk9kwey4jqkja0frtkfxkarszf0fykjzwq93897u what's the point? gnome's gonna do what gnome's gonna do
nostr:npub1a3hfcvq3wa9zggsur737r9j095kh76rqy46we58jzu345xl4n3eqz9m44m I mean it's a community project, stuff gets done if people show up and do it
nostr:npub1d76s7zapvltswuyrayjk9kwey4jqkja0frtkfxkarszf0fykjzwq93897u maybe the gnome devs should y'know... update documentation once in a while instead of keeping building new toys and discarding the old ones
nostr:npub1a3hfcvq3wa9zggsur737r9j095kh76rqy46we58jzu345xl4n3eqz9m44m I'm sure issues/MRs would be appreciated :)

Ever wondered why the websites in browser demos always look so good? Spoiler alert: It's because they're all fake!
Try going to https://hchs.school, https://mmmhome.io, or any of the other domains in the screenshots below, none of them exist.
Feels emblematic for the state of the web in general. Real websites are so full of popups, toolbars, and other cruft that people create their own to make their browsers look presentable.
On that note: We need some fake websites of our own to show off Epiphany :)

Thanks for the input everyone! Some alternatives from the comments:
nostr:npub1d76s7zapvltswuyrayjk9kwey4jqkja0frtkfxkarszf0fykjzwq93897u unfortunately it’s SUPER dependent on the specific hardware and oftentimes the bootloaders are locked down. I believe it’s similar to the state of Android phones where a few with unlockable bootloaders exist, but the vast majority require an exploit if they can be reflashed at all.
This is where I feel like Right to Repair regulation should require reflashability at least after the EOL date, but also I feel like congresspeople would not understand the concept at all…

That said, given the size of some deployments you'd maybe only need one device to be unlocked/exploitable/hardware enabled. If you can get 10k units from one source maybe that's all you need, and it'd be worth the work on the software side 🤔
On the one hand, I applaud improving access to devices for kids—on the other, we have seen this play out before:
🚫 Chromebooks are *still* nearly useless for kids when they’re offline
🛜 Internet access is over-reported due to social stigma when self reporting, and “a kid can walk to a coffee shop” often counting as broadband access
🔒 Ecosystem lock-in means Google gatekeeps what “real apps” can be easily used
💀 In three years, these devices will likely be unsupported

nostr:npub12f7r2gjj0ch84wdh5kg03gkmjyskya6zlxq70cxlk5qm5sysjhuq08lkxh I wonder if there's a way to buy up three year old unsupported devices at scale and re-flash them with real GNU/Linux 🤔
That way you could both prolong the lifespan of the devices and make them more useful for kids.

Generally the constraint with the blackboard metaphor is that both the graph and the function need to be very simple.
