I wish there was a TV with absolutely no built in smart features and a slot in the back for a compute module (like a RP CM5).

Counterpoint, we have the Cosmic Desktop (or at least an alpha for it) and tbh its pretty cool :3

The amount of genocide apologia in this comment section is insane

Im Jewish and I would absolutely support not only a complete and total withdrawl of recognition of Israel but also an absolute blockade.

That doesn’t mean they have any sympathy whatsoever to the plight of the Palestinians.

Ive personally been there, its not a small portion of the population its the entire population. The vast majority of Israelis join the GDF and those who don’t mostly support it, if the Maldives banned all Israelis from the entire country tommorow I would support it.

The answer is likley never, GOS devs dont trust Fairphone devs (due to poor security practices) and Fairphone devs are unwilling (in some cases unable) to meet the extremely high standards for GOS.

Truly proof that gamers are the most oppressed people, its so joever /s

Not really, but I am sick and tired of Wikipedia haters constantly using every tiny mistake to prove “Wikipedia cant be trusted”. Granted they still use the age old lie of “anyone can edit it” and “nobody moderates it”.

It only takes a single incident like this for people to completely loose trust in Wikipedia, granted Wikipedia was already put to an insanely unreasonable standard.

I have absolutely no faith in this project whatsoever, there is a 99% chance itll fail like all Linux phones and tbh they all deserve to. Not a single mobile Linux OEM has even the slightest idea what the average person wants, hell im a highly technical Linux enthusiast and it doesn’t even do what I want. The average person wants:

1. Long battery life
2. Fast charging
3. A good screen
4. Decent performance
5. A good camera
6. Software good enough to tie everything together in a cohesive experience (this one especially they lack in)

Meanwhile more technical people (such as myself) want:

1. Good security (both hardware level security and software level security)
2. A relockable bootloader (with it being locked from shipping)
3. Extended software support (including firmware and microcode updates)
4. The ability to seamlessly work on multiple different sim networks
5. Longevity (I should not need to get a new one once every three years)
6. Reparability
7. Software that can accommodate technical usecases without falling apart

Meanwhile Linux phones:

1. Can be a portable programming station (why??? No genuenly why would anyone want to do this??? Just get a cheap Thinkpad)
2. Can run desktop software (ok thats neat I guess but not neat when all the software is optimized for desktops, the downsides to this completely overshadow any tiny benefit this may provide)
3. Have support for multiple mobile Linux distros (congratulations, you have multiple choices and they all suck)
4. Have support multiple WMs/DEs (and they’re all either under maintained, not maintained at all, or they just suck)
5. Have extensive software customization (its a phone, why on earth would I want that???)
6. Are cheap (sometimes, also I can just get a cheap used Google Pixel 7)
7. Run faster (except not when you take into account the significantly worse hardware)

Every accusation he makes is an admission

Thats why the Linux kernel has a massive amount of CVEs, its extensively audited and researched.

Im not a security researcher tbh and I havent extensively studied the security model of Signal (I use Matrix)

Heres a list of all current CVEs

Yes but the act of dumping a game or acquiring it in any capacity is illegal (circumventing DRM measures) as well as running the game (which also requires circumventing DRM measures)

Fundamentally the biggest security vulnerability in every peice of software is the end user. It does not matter how intelligently the software is designed, no amount of preparation can handle the users. That is not to say Signal has no security vulnerabilities but almost nothing can stop someone from inviting a random reporter (if they explicitly invited them). Furthermore I have a conspiracy theory of sorts, I dont think it was a mistake. I think Trumps own administration is trying to backstab him. Maybe they had ideas of becoming more powerful, maybe they thought Trump would reduce their power, but I feel that the amount of government leaks and just how complicated they are would suggest infighting.

Yeah, sometimes there are software that just won’t have a Linux version. Thats to be expected because Linux isnt a Windows clone so itll never run all Windows software. If that software is important to you I would reccomend just installing Windows 11.

Lets hope this leads to Republicans loosing for 60 years like last time :3

Of course, also theres GDF (Genocide Defense Forces)
