I don't mind the A/B partitions or Magisk. But everything else is getting pretty ridiculous. I wish Purism didn't end up being such a shitty piece of fuck company, because there's a huge lack of mobile Linux devices.

I should try getting Postmarket running on my old Sony XA2 again .. if I can get it to turn on.

@sendpaws the stroke that broke the camel's back for me was the keybox thiing. Went back to the stock rom afterwards.

Pajeets have proven their ability to shit on everything they touch. They took the very reason that many of us chose Android in the first place and defecated all over it.

I look forward to switching to some obscure linux phone that inexplicably costs more than a fucking iphone in the next few years.

@foxdickfarms my problem is half the time you can't use them with carriers in the USA, I know a friend bought one and has this issue

Even on stock rom, if you need root for anything, it makes everything else a major pain in the ass.

@anemone @sendpaws Did just that this week. Had to transition from SD cards to self-hosted services on my homelab as iPhones with more than 64 GB storage are unobtanium at sane prices. There are also issues of locked file systems forcing you to use busted “sync” programs that don’t work and slow-as-shit charging caused by Apple clinging to USB 2.0. But on the positive side, it works as a phone and doesn’t suffer from the incessant software glitches of Android.

@mischievoustomato @anemone @sendpaws I'm forced to use Winblows at work but I 100% understand why someone would buy into the Mac ecosystem as a professional, whether it's development or security related.

And I'm saying this as someone who dislikes both companies from a moral and technical standpoint. At least OSX is unix based. Windows continues to get so much worse and it's concerning how many organizations rely on it everyday as if sharepoint/onedrive isn't broken shit.

@georgia @djsumdog @sendpaws @meso fair enough. amd on linux is wonky, intel hw wise is fine.

and that weirdo keeps changing their name/handle on sites and other crazy stuff, right?

It's sad since there are so many eyeDevices out there, and as proprietary as they are, they are all pretty much the same and should be a great starter platform for creating some kind of decent alt and/or Linux phone, but nothing has really panned out. I remember all the pain of trying to get Linux working on an Intel Macbook and it was not fun.

@georgia @djsumdog @meso @mischievoustomato you can only have two out of the free: ARM, Linux, and Fast.

Maybe they'll support the M5 in 2029

@djsumdog @georgia @meso @mischievoustomato he quit the project and they just finally got around to supporting the M3 barely.

The best ARM linux platform is probably the Chromebook, ironically.

@sendpaws is a widespread - maintained of .

  • I'm not shure if @LineageOS can do that and I'm confident @GrapheneOS won't because they are a bunch of self-absorbed dipshits with a giant ego and unwillingness to face reality!

@kkarhan @LineageOS @GrapheneOS the only people who fork Android/have their own branch have business sense to do so (FireOS), or using it to run Android apps on other OSes.

@sendpaws @djsumdog @meso @mischievoustomato I think I still have the special chord to write to Chromebook baremetal but this was years ago lol. maybe I should have a puter for essentials, a server for storage and email and things, and a outer for gaming that doesnt need to be libre?
