Thanks for the info!
I crossposted this to (what I considered) the relevant communities, where I added that as an edit.
AFAIK, they are used as relays.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit
Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

FYI: You can edit the post and include a link to the add-on so others can see it without reading the comments. EDIT: Thanks!
Image Max URL (Web - GitHub - Firefox addon) was able to get a 3840x2160 version.
My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.
In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of “XXX has joined YYY service” notification to all of them. Also, I didn’t like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:
AFAIK I’ve only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.
Thanks!
I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn’t find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?

Languages are categorized by linguistic families by colours.
So Spanish and Portugese (both being Romance) are redish shades, similarly other linguistic groups share similar shades indicating these are closely related languages. (this scheme breaks down quite a bit with so many languages but generally it checks out here, if you have some linguistic background)
The map does not include labels as to no obscure the detail we put into it, so I guess this map is mainly for ppl who already have some linguistic landscape knowledge.
Area’s which have between 30 to 70% majority are shown as striped.
Area’s with a population density below 1p/km2 are shown as sparsely populated. This does not mean no one lives there but rather that a single immigrant family can add Korean to the Sahara desert, which is not what this map is about.
Languages with less than 20,000 speakers in a populated area are not shown. (This mainly to exclude the native american languages that are overwhelmingly outpopulated in states such as NY or CA)
Linguistic Isolates are shown in various grey shades.

I’m not sure I understand, there are still plenty of sites with RSS Feeds, native or via 3rd parties (OpenRSS, RSSHub, nitter, proxigram).
And for those websites without them, scrapping to RSS is (IMHO) the easiest solution. See pipes.digital.
Anything with similar functionality would need to reinvent the wheel and implement the same features that RSS has.
But maybe I’m missing something…
3. How to sign in with youtube-dl?
I’m not sure if this will work, but you can use --cookies cookies.txt
alongside with a cookies.txt
file (you can get it with cookies.txt add on). It works for downloading private playlists. So it may also work for age restricted videos.
Starting from the 3rd post, most of them are full stories. But I haven’t read everything, so I’m not sure how much of it is really scifi, although he’s most known for his cyberpunk stories in the 80s and 90s.
Here you have one I posted previously: “Homo sapiens declared extinct” by Bruce Sterling (1999)
From his wikipedia page:
Michael Bruce Sterling (born April 14, 1954) is an American science fiction author known for his novels and short fiction and editorship of the Mirrorshades anthology. In particular, he is linked to the cyberpunk subgenre.
Sterling’s first science-fiction story, Man-Made Self, was sold in 1976. He is the author of science-fiction novels, including Schismatrix (1985), Islands in the Net (1988), and Heavy Weather (1994). In 1992, he published his first non-fiction book, The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier.[1]
The only one I know is Bruce Sterling’s medium:

I’ve only used on the desktop, but there is Proxigram, an alternative frontend for IG.
Or turning them into good old time RSS?
Two options that I’m aware:
Proxigram (it tries to embed images, doesn’t always work): https://codeberg.org/ThePenguinDev/Proxigram/wiki/Instances
Open RSS (does not embed images): https://openrss.org/
