Have you considered SailfishOS?

Personally I recommend getting a Sony Xperia and installing it yourself.

SFOS has been my daily driver for 5 years now.

I paid €49 for the license, so it’s a bargain right now at 24.90, and my latest device, an xperia x10ii, cost just €60.

What do you use? Is it your daily driver?

I use SailfishOS on a Sony Xperia. 50€ for the SFOS license, 60€ for the phone.

I definitely have lost at least one install to getting stuck in vim, flailing the keyboard and writing garbage data into a critical config file before rebooting.

Even that could be tricky; these weren’t bootable/installable images.

edit: admittedly, I have no personal experience but some years back we tried to help someone install Yggdrasil (in a VM iirc) and did not succeed.

What a sentence. What a time to be alive.

defiance of colonial protocols often landed him in trouble - tainting his reputation

Hm, shouldn’t that have the opposite effect (at least nowadays). But yeah the Brits - willingly or not - still control much of the narrative, globally.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a separate encrypted partition that I can mount/decrypt/unmount with my filemanager (or something like pmount) by clicking on those little arrows. Much nicer than whatever on-top-of-the-filesystem solution I used previously. It happens to be on a microSDcard that just sits in its slot forever.

OK. Does it get to BIOS? Have you opened a dedicated thread for fixing this?

The comment section here:

The circular firing squad in all its goriness.

Folks, be nicer to each other. And don’t be so opinionated about what exactly the only right solution is and what definitely isn’t. That’s bullshit. Look around, find something where you see yourself making a start, take it from there. That will probably look different for everybody, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t all pulling together.

E.g. https://www.mobilize.us/ (from one of the comments) looks helpful. I’m not endorsing anything, surely there’s more good info to be found.

That’s - she’s putting herself in a lot of danger. This is heroic.

Please read her statement.

Apart from that I’m glad to see actual journalism coming out of Russia; another Hail Mary to Mediazona!

I don’t think these two options are exclusive to each other. And it’s sad.

But globally!

I don’t see it as impossible at all.

Well I said “close to”. Are you sure you can use the www without ever connecting to some google server? Ads, analytics, the infamous tagmanger etc.?

One would think the US already has enough experience in how it does not work like that, but it seems the guys in power are determined to walk that road til the end. What’s the end though?

I’m not even impressed by the headline. A harem is a very specific thing. Musk does not have one. He’s just abusing* women, then bragging about it.

It’s not like you’re actually trying to help asshole.

Yes please.

I just wish they’d chosen a more appropriate illustration. That’s neither a laptop nor a battery.

Anyhow, recommendations for modular/repairable devices:

• for laptops it’s pretty much frame.work, but Dell XPS 15 is also mentioned, and some Lenovo models
• for phones it’s pretty much fairphone, but Shift6mq is also mentioned, and some (new) Nokia models

Does this even take into account all the extra work and thus spending doge’s flailing caused?

DODAS or just DODS
