Thank you very much for reaponding! Awesome to read about your efforts and mobian as an OS. How would you describe the daily driveability (on its own and compared to postmarketos)?
If I‘m not completely mistaken, the chip is the same as on my oneplus6. I run postmarketOS/phosh but camera is dead for now. I dont have enough insight to grasp if its just a legal issue or more. I feel like the two projects are quite similar but the differences are hard to grasp really. Whats your background and do you have experience with postmarketos? How do you experience mobians installation and documentation?
Have a good one.
Great way to rid yourself of responsibility. Sadly, nothing ever got achieved by being smart. Doing things is what is necessary.
Therefore yes, billionaires must go, of course. But they wont go until we take action. So my point still stands. Read the book.
How about doing something instead of talking? https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/crimethinc-recipes-for-disaster
Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.
That hits home like a cruise missile. Ouch.
Whatever idea you have to phones, you‘re wrong. They can easily make 5 plus years if you treat them right. The more problematic part is daily use and battery degradation/repair.
But google sucks anyway so I‘ll stay with postmarketOS on my oneplus6 and wait for my camera to come to life some day (hopefully).
Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?
I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.
That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.
I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.
In any case. Good luck.
I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.
That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.
I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.
Their reasons for joining matrix:
- You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
- People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
- their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
- no chance the EU breaks their encryption
- no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)
I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.
Anyway, have a good one.
Strongly agree! I switched as well, so did my wife and its glorious. We‘re both avid gamers and no issues so far. We have strong opinions about intrusive anti cheat software so that helped.
I did make a windows vm for my wife since she needs to work with adobe sometimes and it seems to work perfectly so far.
Feel free to update on your journey.
If you would read the book, they explain the point you are trying to make in the first couple of pages.
You have your opinion of how stuff should be done. But that doesnt mean everyone else needs to do it your way. Thats how we got into this mess.
Also very good analogy in the book: if you vote or not is your decision, plain and simple. But voting takes a couple minutes on average. If you want change, you can hang up a poster or print some flyers or take a megaphone, depending on what you‘re comfortable with.
I come from a country where people used to be put in gas chambers because the responsibility didnt reach far enough down and right now, that same country is going that exact route again.
