Didn't Israel bomb Iran hours into the ceasefire? Like they always do

The Problem is Peter Thiel's mentee, who could've guessed.

Consider that some phones can in fact, be turned into fully (or mostly) funcitonal Linux phones. you don't necesarrily need to wait for a device to be released.

Oh they fixed 50% of the problems with Graphene! Now if they can only do something about the toxic behaviour of the dev behind the og...

I've treated a couple on a Fairphone 4, I've owned dsupported devices and I'm enamored, but there are some pros and cons, I highly suggest helping your distros and DE of choice to advance the daily drivability of mobile Linux offerings.

PostmarketOS is a bit annoying because of the mainlining process., but worth considering, specially if you're a developer, or don't mind tinkering with kernel configs, OR if you have a phone that is already supported. You got the Alpine repos, plus Flatpak, and Waydroid. (sidenote fairphones need some work, please send help if you can)

Mobian is similar to postmarketOS, but there's Deloitian which can help adaption, although it uses Halium. Debian repos and Flatpak and Waydroid are available too.

Ubuntu Touch also uses Hailium, but is a great option for first timers, its easier to port to devices, and has a lot of devices supported and more in development/testing. But, also offers a vast versatility for running applications, not sure if more than the rest, though.. (OpenStore, Waydroid, Libertine Containers for Ubuntu Repos+PPAs, no Flatpak though)

SailfishOS also uses Hailium, and is a continuation of Maemo and Moblin, and although its not FOSS, its more customizable than UT, and has more keyboard and sync options than most. If your device isnt officially supported you can still run android via Wayland (like all distributions here) this uses zypper btw, also no current flatpak, and has OpenRepos and Chum Repo.

There's also Manjaro Mobile, which means there's also Arch Mobile. There's Fedora PocketBlue, its brand new, but stable in some devices.

As for Mobile Environments; Phosh is most common and I can't complain, although I don't enjoy gnome, its been in development for long enough that I'll admit, its my preferred environment, despite needing another app to theme Qt apps.

GNOME Mobile is suppose to be mainline but, felt more limiting than Phosh, which has been running for longer. I didn't try this much.

KDE Mobile, JFC I want to love it, but it currently still needs work, the Akonadi alternative wasn't ready when I tried it, its very close to how Android works, and is the most customizable of the bunch. Again, if you can, send help for development.

Lomiri (UT) can technically be installed in any distroes, it has probably my favorite implementation of a status bar, there's not much wrong with it, but I haven't tested it outside of UT.

Lipstick, SailfishOS proprietary fork of NemoMobile, is beautiful and feels nostalgic to what old phones would've evolved into has we not have this duopoly. Its closed source so, you can't contribute, but...

NemoMobile is in active development, and also prefers openSUSE as a base, I suggest checking them out and maybe contribute if it interests you.

There are more but I haven't tried them.

My personal favorite were PostmarketOS, andSailfishOS. But I'd give someone Ubuntu Touch (or SFOS) for beginners, or Mobian for not-so-beginners.

Grapheme is a fork of android, not a GNU offering

What about non-foss collaboration? (Ie Game Dev)

Title...

I'm kinda disgusted with Microsoft and Github has been declining into an AI-Centric hellhole, to the point my recommendations are almost exclusively AI related... And let's not forget, the new Copilot Training enabled by default (which honestly, how do you get rid of this thing, VSCode also feels intrusive with AI-First bullshittery)

I've been wondering about moving to Gitlab but.... "Finally, AI for the entire software lifecycle." is literally plastered in the landing page. So.. that feels like a no-go.

Codeberg is very decent, it's based on Forgejo so ActivityPub is also a thing (but is cross-instance contributions possible?) but it's exclusive for Source-Available and Free Projects, which, by all means, totally fine! Half of my "active" projects are for free, and are open source (does that make them FOSS even though I'm basically the only dev?)

And last but not least, Forgejo and Gitlab themselves are self-hostable, but...how expensive (price and storage) would it be to self host a Git Forge??

And maybe I'm being narrow-sighted... For FOSS projects in Github, sadly I'll have no choice but to contribute there, if that's the only place where the project resides, same for Gitlab, and Codeberg* (unless cross-instance contrib is a thing)

For now, I'm thinking of moving FOSS/OSS projects to Codeberg, but for personal projects? What are some good options?

This is just unfathomably cursed... What the fuck have I walked into.

You need log into your microsoft account and give us your goverment ID to start using your Windows Computer, powered by Copilot. Would you like to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass with Copilot? Would you like CoPilot to play games for you? Copilot is very helpful, it can take screenshots of your whole screen every few seconds to help remind you of what you were doing 3 months ago. Copilot is very helpful, it can work your browser, manage your files, write your letters, use your computer for you! All you need to do is say, Hey Copilot, because Copilot is always ready to listen to you! You want to install a software? Downloading software from sites can lead to malicious spyware! Use the Windows store instead! You need to log in to your microslop account and give us your goverment ID to browse the Windows Store. Windows is so useful, it can give you weather updates, remind you of that thing you were looking to buy, things you were looking for, straight from your Start menu and task bar! You want to install Steam? I'm sorry that's not available in the Windows Store, consider Subscribing to Xbox Game pass instead! You want to run something outside of our guardrails? Don't worry, if something goes wrong, you can use Recall to see whatever it is you were doing before you did something you regret!

Ok, I can't keep this up. I cannot fathom why the fuck anyone would tolerate Windows... No game, no software, no nothing, is worth keeping literal bloated spyware that wants to drain your wallet, safety, and privacy. -- I will continue to say this;

Just Switch to Linux. If you really need a guidance, just use Linux Mint or Zorin. Explore and try other things, don't be afraid of making the wrong choice, just pick a flavor, learn it, and own your stuff back.

 

Title... Honestly, I'm just tired of funding monsters, just because we've gotten used to using their platforms.

Besides Crypto, which is what I imagine a lot of people would say (and Props, if Monero), CCs, and Cash (the tried and true) are there any other avenues?

 

Basically, Title. Since October I've been writing some stuff, usually guides, but I've never really figured out what would be a good place to post them... I've considered looking into the FediVerse or anything with ActivityPub or something le Akismet to allow for comments, ideally making space for discussion if desired.

I thought about making a site, but I figured something not too dissimilar from Medium would be better for discoverability.

I have extremely little knowledge, so I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Thank you in advance
