I'm using my Fiio DAC right now, I have to keep the volume down to a minimum level or I'll blow out my ears. Using it was murder on the battery on my old iPhone 15 but it doesn't seem to be an issue on my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS.
Yeah, it's a compromise if you need to charge, but it's not nearly as big a deal as you'd think.
I haven't tried any of them but from what reviews I've seen, both Sailfish OS and postmarketOS are alllmost there but not quite, and Ubuntu Touch is still primarily for tinkerers and isn't ready for prime time. Part of me wants to say "jfc it's been in development since Unity was The New Thing" but then again, who's even working on it? I really want any one of these to be finished and to succeed, but I think more and more that I'm just going to go back to using a dumbphone for the first time in more than 15 years, even as I post this on GrapheneOS.
I'm not subscribed but I do watch his videos whenever I stumble on them and they're pretty good. He takes the piss out of Apple and Microsoft equally and regularly dunks on Google as well. I don't think he really centers on Linux very often, if at all, but whatev. Good watch, I recommend [not that my opinion is worth anything]
"Donald Trump betrayed his MAGA base"
Stop. The hogs love this, they craved it all along, any claims to be in support of a "peace president" were a load of crap from the start.
If he could read he'd be doing it now
As an American, this is mostly a nonstarter, but right now, the only alternative that really intrigues me is the Jolla Phone (which I invariably have to look up to make sure I'm not getting it mixed up with Volla), because it's the only one that isn't just running a custom Android ROM. We need a true, viable alternative to Android and iOS and, to me, a de-googled ROM is only a half measure. Furthermore, the alternative needs to be free and open source, and community-driven.
Makes me wish I'd gone into software development 25 years ago because now I can only wish I could be the change I want to see in the world.
When I moved my kid's desktop away from Windows I chose pop!_OS because I figured it would not only be good for newcomers, but it would also be friendlier with nvidia, which it was but I didn't want to risk it with the Cosmic beta. I think I'll still wait a bit before upgrading from 22.10 but it's almost time to move forward.
It's Ohio, a purple state with a red map thanks to years of the legislature thumbing its nose at the state supreme court, so the state's EPA is going to protect Ohio's corporations rather than its citizens.
