@ramble81@lemm.ee I don’t understand how this is profitable. We were shopping for a kitchen light fixture. Found the same light at several stores. Ordered it from one that claimed to be in Italy. Item shipped from China. I understand A/B testing and having multiple storefront you treat live burner phones when you get a reputation/review issue, but these sites were all using the same retargetting to place ads in my socials for weeks after the light was installed. Normally I add users to a list NOT to retarget after conversion. The other stores carrying the same product kept advertising something I had already purchased.

Many years ago I worked on a project with some FSF staff who refused to use non-FOSS solutions to coordinate or conduct meetings. While the developers involved where all prolific contributors to open source projects used by millions of people, they were all willing to compromise on some of the tools we use to develop and communicate for “the greater good”. The FSF staff weren’t willing to make those compromises. At the time I was frustrated by this. As Slack ownership changed, costs increased and policies around what they could do with “our” data evolved, I now have a lot more respect for the FSF staff who are “holding the line”.

I had the same issue with my 3. Took advantage of one of the offers Samsung had to trade in even with a cracked screen. They gave me $600 towards a Fold 5. I bought my 3 used for $800, so I was only out ~$400 to go from a 3 with a broken internal screen to a new 5. Still very happy with the 5, but I get why you wouldn’t trust Samsung again.

I had a Galaxy Fold 5. I had a Fold 3 before this. I bought the 3 used for $800 to try out the form factor. The screen on the 3 split, but Samsung still gave me $600 in credit towards a Fold 5. No hardware issues with the 5. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a smaller phone because of the work related tasks I can do with the additional screen real estate.
For me the killer app is being able to review VRT failures. Before the Fold, I had to have a tablet or my laptop handy to avoid potential delays. Now I can review a VRT failure anywhere. This has allowed to spend more time with my kids. Worth every penny.

If you are going to evaluate Drupal in 2025, I STRONGLY encourage you to start with the Drupal CMS install. There are so many optional modules with Drupal, it can be overwhelming.
If you are already familiar with Docker, you can spin up a Drupal CMS instance using DDEV. You’ll have no problem Googling that.
If you aren’t familiar with Docker and want to try it, https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms/launcher is a ridiculously easy way to start on most operating systems. That approach gets a little trickier when you want to move the site/cms application instance to a host. There is documentation, but I would look it over before getting too far into this approach.
My recommendation for spinning up a Drupal CMS instance is on a free sandbox on https://docs.pantheon.io/drupal-cms. Acquia offers a free trial in exchange for the information they need to target you with marketing, but it is only a 4 hour trial. Pantheon lets you keep your sandbox as long as you account remains active.
Unfortunately ActivityPub isn’t included in any of the Drupal CMS Recipes (yet), so you have to add it with
composer require 'drupal/activitypub:^1.0@alpha'
.Composer is npm for PHP. If you are familiar npm, apt-get, homebrrw, pip, gem, etc, you’ll have no problem understanding Composer.
