  • More interest is a very far cry from “linux phones are booming”. Linux phones are not booming, they are niche projects for people that like to tinker and don’t need any of the most popular phone apps and features.

    Until we can install linux on more than a couple phones, trust cellular connections across all the networks and have access to the majority of features and apps that a smart phone should possess, linux phones will never “boom”.

    I say this as a Ubuntu touch user on the Fairphone 4. It is not an experience that anyone else I know would accept from their smartphone.


  • I hope they choose to focus efforts on linux instead of trying to keep Google from fully obliterating their ability to offer apps on the Android platform.

    Even if they are thrown a bone during this fight, it’s going to keep happening until they lose. The reason linux is so bad to try to use as a smartphone right now is because entities like these are busy trying to piss up a rope with Google and Android. We could have actually had robust and feature rich linux phones if they had taken the hint when Google first started shitting on people trying to use their Android phone in the way they want to.










  • Maybe you just have to swap and be okay with less people around, just so you can get out of Microsoft’s grip in open source.

    I think you hit the nail on the head here. It is almost always the case that you will trade adoption/utilization/community for a less-used solution. Using loops, pixelfed, mastodon or piefed/lemmy, element, linux, FOSS web apps instead of their more popular system, they all come with an unspoken agreement that you embrace a niche-existence.

    Only you can really decide what’s more important to you.






  • I just don’t see this scenario in the same light. She did everything she could to make the situation in which she finds herself a reality and she’s not trying to enlighten anyone. She’s angry that her co-conspirators have turned on her due to a difference in opinion. She’s lashing out at internet personalities and literally behaving as if she didn’t play an incredibly large part in the creation of this dystopian reality she finds herself in.

    Nothing she does or says will enlighten anyone worth persuading. She will simply eventually disappear and live her life out on the millions she made on the backs of the people while those people suffer under laws and regulations she helped make a reality.
