When is the year of the linux phone

what is this idea of “thin phone”??? A thick phone could fit more battery and specs and better camera

people around the world are fascinated by the sheer lack of phone here

My thoughts exactly

Forums are only sort of social media

There is less focus on users and more on topics, and they have more practical uses than social media

But still, Lemmy is social media, I guess.

Then people move to Linux

If implemented this should only apply to paid OS’s or ones where a licence comes with the hardware

No license is needed for Linux

forcing people to support a project for Y amount of years would really harm indie developers releasing Linux distros and the like

Solution: implement as consumer protection that only applies to paid OS’s (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware)

Better laws would be:

• to mandate open source relaease at EOS
• automatically public domain at EOS
• require paid operating systems to supporr hardware from 15 years ago (as a consumer protection law, so that it only applies to paid OS’s (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware), so that foss projects arent hurt)

Mandatory open source public domain release at EOS.

At Win10 EOS, people would make Windows distros, and ReactOS would no longer have to be a clean room implementation.

Also this would be a success for Stop Killing Games.

here i am in the tropics

same temperature and length of day year round

only thing that changes is rainfall

Google "degoogling".
Actually don't.
Search it on DuckDuckGo.

Access YouTube through Invidious.
Install GrapheneOS on Google Pixel phones, and /e/OS on other bootloader-unlockable Android phones.
Or go for a real Linux phone.
Swap Chrome for Librewolf or Firefox.
If you use GMail, move to a different provider.
Use Openstreetmap.
Replace clouds such as Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Photos with alternatives.

P.S. codeblock is so that markdown doesn't fuck up the line breaks

No, you need to do unrm -unrf /

I like ls -Ap, the -p option is convenient, it puts a / at the end of names if they’re directories. -A is like -a but doesn’t show . and ..

-l is sometimes useful, but a bit cluttered and less readable (at least to me, maybe it wouldn’t be if I were used to using it)

equating skin colour with culture

Not equating. They said that people of an ethnicity are often also of a culture common among those of that ethnicity.

I’m in Costa Rica, and people are likely to (correctly) assume that I’m a foreigner here because I’m white.

It’s not equating. It is, however, a way to tell what is likely.
