my general answer to this would be PostmarketOS, but it's just personal bias ;)

long story short: don't google
I hope we'll have next-gen linuxphones before 2G gets fully phased out in the EU....
It's not as much about "go bad" as to create the perfect conditions for the good bacteria to develop... and those we like thrive in O2-free environment ("anaerobic")... that's why all sorts of pickle veggies, sauerkraut etc... are usually sitting under the liquid, held together by weights!
Keep us informed.
have you done them this way before? are you sure you can succeed without using weights to maintain them under the liquid? that's how i always learned you succeed at lactofermentation, by ensuring it it stays anaerobic...
good luck!
Sounds much better than "Amazon surveils keystrokes of its IT workers"!
I hope there at least one yt-dlp / peertube backup somewhere...
speaking of "normies" is elitist, because the term is used usually people privileged/experienced with knowledge about technology to describe people who don't have this privilege/experience. It is implying that there would be a class of (sub-)humans who are not capable of taking the same path as the person who employs this term. I stand by the term "elitist". In a world of diverse people, life-paths and needs, in my own experience everybody is capable of understanding the political reasons to use a piece of software over another one (because one company sucks, because their model of centralization is detrimental to freedom, because they got shady funding, because they pretend to be something else but bar free software authors to modify their software, because they're from the USA, etc.). Everyone has their own way of understanding these things. Everyone has some arguments that will resonate better than others. Pretty much the same way you probably decided to not install Facebook messenger. Well the good news is: everybody is capable of understanding these things. It may take time and effort, it may make elitist people realize it is not as easy as they first thought it would be, and require to fail and try again. It requires efforts and a humble approach as to listen to these people and take them where they are and walk a bit along the way with them.
My personal experience is that most people are capable of understanding such things. It may take time, but everyone is capable.
I also saw tons of elitist tech-enthusiasts and other tech-savvies "bros" not even addressing who they call "normies" out of pure lazyness, to avoid to speak outside of their own comfort zone and question their own status, and to avoid sharing their elitist knowledge.
-> "'normies' won't do that" = "i am too lazy to engage meaningfully with people who do not know the same things as i know."
That's a major part of the problem. Elitist feedback loop...
Many people will tell you you have to sacrifice your principles because interface, because "normies" (which is an elitist way of telling you that non-elitist people are idiots....), etc. I say: stick to your dreams!
Has anyone used such a system as a "daily driver"?
What do you need to do in order to boot a normal distro such as Debian or such? How does it stand from the perspective of user/software freedom? What sorts of proprietary sh#ts does it need to be usable? What sorts of compromises that may not be obvious at first glance?
Also how does it "feel" day to day?
Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.”
A friend of mine has a project that is accross an art project and a political statement, in the form of an experiment:
To exemplify the power of the surveillance capitalists on the very fabric of what we still call "the Internet", they want to configure a computer to block all connections going to all known services belonging to Google, Amazon and Cloudflare (and later potentially extend this to other companies).
(yes, my friend is very much aware that in practice most of the commercial web would become totally unusable. that's partly the point of the demonstration to exemplify this...)
For google, they rely on an old (long) list of domains known to belong to the multiple entities composing the behemoth... an /etc/hosts points all of them to 127.0.0.1. brutal but efficient, until new domains, subdomains etc.. appear.
How would you do it for amazon and its gigantic AWS platform? how would you do it for cloudflare? collect lists of their IPs (and update them over time)? edit firewall lists based on them that would sink all packets?
Anyone knows of any project going in that direction?

yeah because that is where true, independent, investigative journalism is needed!...
...to identify and name people who prefer to remain anonymous!
yay for the 4th estate!
