You know, I think this whole situation could've been boiled down to just make an instance and defederate, instead we got the FediKaren of the year with their silly obscured list and petty shoddy ahh ddos script.

    Sailfish is decent, but yes, tied to the company. Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish suffer from the same problem, limited app repositories, excluding waydroid, I mean linux software, but Ubuntu Touch at least has Libertine Containers with PPA support....

    PostmartketOS, Mobian, PocketBlue all use mainline kernels, so that might limit your options, but have access to packaged and Flathub! (pmOS is still better for device comparability)

    There are more options, niche as they may seem.... Like I was not aware of OpenSUSE mobile, NixOS for phones, were actually a thing. I had heard of Arch mobile, thanks to Arch ARM, but again, not a lot of documentation that I've seen

    Also I'd check check out !linuxphones@lemmy.ca

    I apologize if this is ignorant of me, but I guess a follow up question could be, if your patches would be in pmOS Edge soon (here's hoping they're properly in for v26.12), or if they need to install it manually.

    I know that for some of your work, you've mentioned they could be easy to install.

    I already bought one from Murena, but that was a couple of days before this post. -- That said. I'm sure this will make things even more accessible for those who just wanna jump into linux but are afraid of the whole installation process (If you already have one, try the UBPorts insaller) -- I cannot thank you enough for the work you've done, and congrats on the title upgrade!! It's more than earned. -- Technically, that'd also make the Fairphone 6 having two official Linux Kernel Maintainers...right?

    I do suggest making a thread/post about this. Not trying to silence here, but I do believe that,

    • A: Waydroid and Bluetooth Passthrough in and of itself, is something that people do want, mostly for gadgets. (I'm hoping ports from Gadgetbridge to Amazfish become a thing soon)
    • B: Linux Health apps are few, but they do look decent. I'm sure they'd also appreciate feedback and maybe a dev or two and/or donations; some of them are here; https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=Health

    Holy Smokes..... All during the Mercury Retrograde no less.... This is all nothing short of genuinely amazing!! First it was GPS, then NFC, then Audio (with Microphone) and now Calls? Please do correct me but, by the PMOS Graph, that'd just leave the Camera and the IMU left??

    All jokes aside, my fp4 suddenly started dying on me and ended up ordering a fp6, so I'll gladly run some tests! If you have any particular place you'd like us to send feedback or bug reports, please do let me know!

    EDIT: Also the lack of Emergency Calls (or at least that's what it says on the imsd repo) is a bit unfortunate, but, iirc, Emergency Calls work on a different band or system, regardless of SIM. So in a way, it's also not too surprising, at least for me.

    what do we think of the "The Amazing Digital Circus" ending?

    (Whole 9 episode run is on youtube for those curious)

    I thought it was a solid 5/10 ending. Tied up most of the loose ends but lacked brevity in a way that was highly noticeable. It could've been 30 min realistically. I think the whole show is closer to a 7/10. If you know any teenagers/young adults who would enjoy "baby's first psychological horror" this is a good recommend.

    Title. I made a space to try and encapsulate all the known Linux Mobile Projects. Ideally this could've been a list or directory of sorts, but since I didn't find one, I kinda just decided to make one. - it's inspired by postmarketOS' space.

    You can find it at #mobile-linux-rooms:nope.chat -- Could've had a better name but frankly couldn't think of a better name at the time.

    Includes

    • PostmarketOS
    • NixOS (whole)
    • Mobian (Unofficial Space made for this)
    • Droidian
    • UBPorts
    • Fedora PocketBlue
    • OpenSUSE Mobile
    • SailfishOS (Unofficial Space made for this)

    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?

    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
