You can already use an open source OS on most phones. There are several options mentioned in the article. This is about the underlying firmware that controls the antennas, etc. According to the article, the project is focused on getting it working on “at least one phone.”
You are right that it’s a good idea to put an open source OS, especially on their phones. It’s an easy way to extend the lifetime of a useful device.


I remember experts saying 5 or 10 years ago that the increased standardization and centralization of the internet would lead to more frequent and widespread internet blackouts.
First AWS, and now this. It looks like they’re right.


Admirable, although it will take a long time just to reverse engineer a single device. Given how quickly phones change, even the same model from one generation to the next, it’s hard to see the long term or widespread impact.
But who knows? They may uncover a process through this project that makes it more efficient or provides new insights to make open source software and firmware even better.
If you have a way to contact your friends, let them know where to meet you.😉


I think some of those are genetic.

Check the axis labels again. I think you may have glanced at it too quickly before replying.


This 90s retro fashion is getting out of hand.
Scary fact: food contamination laws allow manufacturers up to 1 floof in each food package 🙀


Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?
Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.


They have similar licences.
NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0
OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0


Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.
If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.
It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.


There are several apps and UIs that do this. Tesseract for one.


My wife had unbelievable pain in her feet, especially during pregnancy. We tried a lot of things before going to a foot doctor. It’s not necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, but they have a lot of neat toys that can analyze your individual foot and create custom insoles. It’s an easy investment in your health.


It’s just because they used novel punctuation — some people still type like this.


Depends on the bean.
There are some tweaks you can usually do on the server/host side as well. That’s particularly helpful if you use Thunderbird on multiple devices, such as desktop and phone.
Hopefully it will be even easier over time to sync settings between devices — I’d love to see filters and signatures across devices one day.
