I think that sounds like a damn solid plan, personally. Not sure if the GrapheneOS devs would go for it. The lead dev (who I thinked stepped down, so may not be a factor now) had some strongly negative opinions towards a Linux phone due to all of its security holes compared to Android, but like… It’s not as if those things couldn’t be addressed like you describe. It would just take time.

A user here emailed slate asking if there would be any tracking, and they responded that it would not, as it wouldn’t have the hardware to make that possible.

We’ll see if they actually follow through on that.

There’s still time for a general strike. The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.

If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.

Interesting. I’ll have to see how it compares to Trillium Next.

Mr.Do! Is quite fun.

H.E.R.O. can become addicting if you don’t mind initially learning its tricks through trial and error (the harder path is always the correct one). It can get pretty flow-state when you get a handle on it.

The early Space Quest games from Sierra are fun if you don’t mind using a text parser. As is Quest for Glory.

Finally, a Mind Forever Voyaging by Infocom still holds up supremely well if you don’t mind pure text adventures. The short story included in the manual alone is worth the read.

Edit: oh, and Street Rod is still a very fun american graffiti inspired racing game.

Yikes. I loved that framework trailblazed repairable laptops, but those responses are pretty bad.

Edit: it’s so much worse now. That thread is flooded with bad faith far-right assholes, who in another thread admitted to trying to silence dissent by reporting comments to get the treads locked, and one called for framework to ban discussion of this issue entirely.

Mobian is Debian designed for phones. PostmarketOS is another project doing the same thing, but with an alpine Linux base.

CEO’s are almost universally out of touch with reality, and usually chase trends thinking it will help them get higher profits and garner more investment. AI is just the newest bandwagon for them to mindlessly jump on.

Neocities encourages static 90’s style webpages.

Geany is a great, lightweight FOSS editor that totally respects your privacy, and supports all if the languages you mentioned, plus many more.

I think it’s supposed to represent a lowercase ‘a’? But it doesn’t quite work for that either…

Everything in there is a fantastic improvement, like damn, that’s some fine ass UX design.

I’m not as big of a fan of the logo redesign though, I think they needed to retain the waveform between the speakers, IMHO.

Enshittification will come to all proprietary apps sooner or later.

It doesn’t necessarily need to achieve mass adoption, it just needs to get to a ‘good enough’ point to make it viable for those who are willing or desperate to get away from big tech.

Linux still has plenty of people giving reasons why they won’t switch, but it’s now finally viable for many, including myself. I just want mobile Linux to get to that point too, even if there’s still rough edges.

We rapidly need to switch to Linux Mobile. PostmarketOS and Mobian are the two most promising projects, and I would highly recommend anyone reading this to donate to them if you have the means.

Both projects directly use your donations to hire developers to build and polish the critical essentials to get this alternative viable as a daily driver.

It’s genuinely impressive how the whole ecosystem of proprietary software is speedrunning enshittification at an unprecedented rate. The net is tightening, and the only escape is FOSS.

Freetube app for desktop.

Linux is pretty damn polished now, in some areas more polished than Windows.

Battery management seems to depend on the specific device and how well supported and optimized it is. As an example, the steamdeck gets better battery life on Linux than it does on Windows.

But we’re at a point where the ‘polished’ corporate options are so user-hostile, that a ‘good enough’ community built alternative is enough.

Donate to PostmarketOS so that we have a polished Linux alternative to Android.
