  • Im pretty sure he also has a 3d printer

  • They need to sell more phones somehow (which is why relying on corporate software is never a good idea. We need a real android alternative)

  • Every sentence also ends in a :3

    :3

  • Im saying theres a reason why they keep failing. Corporate interests would never allow for it to succeed.

  • The UK officially responded, meanwhile on their website they have this:

    • EU Results: A dead end, there was no consistency from the various offices and was likely a redundant measure towards contacting the DGCCRF -Germany Results: Said they won't act, but we should go through the ACCC to resolve this.
    • Canada results: A dead end, it said the provinces will have to deal with the issue instead, which are likely too small to impact the industry.
    • US results: No response, but this was expected.
    • Brazil results: Failed due to us requiring sales figures on "The Crew" in order to proceed, which we weren't able to obtain.

    The fact is they want to modify copyright laws to allow for the preservation of media, the amount of corporate backlash is absolutely massive and I wouldn't be surprised if shadowy forces are ensuring this doesn't go anywhere. In addition governments see absolutely no historical, educational, cultural, or historical value in video games.

  • I have an old Laptop with a second gen i3 and 4gb of ram. Alpine runs very smoothly with Sway.

  • Probrally because most people dont know nor care, or the fact that this isnt likley to go anywhere

  • It doesn't have any of the signs of AI, just a very poor Photoshop

  • I use Alpine, tbh I dont see why I should learn an entire programming language just for a distro

  • They're not worthless, im sure you can use them for scrap metal

  • All of it, custom roms dont help at all. For example custom roms dont solve their broken implementation of verified boot or how they used public keys for verified boot. In addition custom roms rarely go out of their way to add security patches that the OEM hasnt added themselves. For example, GraphineOS relies on Google to publish security patches in a timely manner for them to keep GraphineOS secure. GraphineOS can trust Google because they have a proven track record of publishing open source security peatches in a timely manner while Fairphone has proven to be the exact opposite.

  • Yes but powershell is so incredibly unbearable to use that nobody bothers

  • Basically it automatically installs and updates software directly from the developers with no middle man

  • Special security features? Fairphone either doesn't or improperly supports basic security features. They're late on security patches, their implementation of verified boot is broken, and generally their security is worse than any other major phone brand.

  • If you have a Google Pixel I reccomend GraphineOS

  • They have problems with the build process and verification, also the software is sometimes out of date on fdroid. In addition I dont personally want someone else curating my software library.

  • Their apps also cause tons of problems compared to the ones directly from the source

  • Its an open source software manager, you put in a source (like github) and it manages it (even doing auto updates).
