The keyboard experience is limited by the small size

I have not tried the keyboard you linked. Does it solve this issue?

By not relying on typing speed. Maybe the interface could heavily leverage gestures for example, or auto complete, etc. There are many possibilities.

But also this kind of is the core of my question 😄

Can you give examples please?

The biggest weakness of using activityPub is it is harder to control compared to rolling out your own incompatible variant.

It may not have to be typing-centric. Maybe the answer is in interfaces that leverage gestures better and in a uniform way, or mixing it with a clever use of buttons.

our devices aren't really being used for file management, tooling, complex work

Only because the experience of doing so is not pleasant like it is on desktop. People would use it for that otherwise.

doesn't even make sense to have a command line

I don't want to have a command line, and I emphasized that in my post. Only something that is similar in its ergonomic enhancement.

Termux is awesome, but it is not what I'm looking for. Using Termux lacks the ergonomics of using a terminal on desktop. The keyboard / typing experience is far worse.

Every command has its own syntax

I don't consider this a different interface. Where you draw the line is a personal choice, but I'd be happy with a smartphone equivalent where the differences are similar to command line tools having different syntax.

editing files is something completely different

I should have clarified, but by editing files, I don't mean the vim-like full text editor experience. I mean things like appending text to a file with echo >>, or using sed, etc.

A lot of these interfaces are like they are for mostly historical reasons

Yes, legacy baggage exists. This only furthers my point, that things could be even better using the same principles, without legacy baggage.

Termux

I only use Termux out of necessity (app or functionality I can only access via a terminal). If an app with good ergonomics exists, I wouldn't look at Termux. But I would still look at command line on desktop.

It started working. Was a weird issue. It would return a blank page that just said "sorry." and nothing else. It didn't do it with chrome.

But now it's working fine. ChatGPT still is not, though.

It's as much or as little as you want to. If you don't want to change anything, you can use something like debian and only maintain once every 5 years (and you could even skip that).

I personally spend a little more, by choice, because I use gentoo. But if I'm busy, I can avoid maintenance by only running routine updates every couple of weeks or so.

I know it's not the intention, but can you use this to host copyrighted music?

Neither are regular, common people in botwasana.

There were a couple of failures but I did not see solid evidence that its half.

Iran intentionally uses cheap weaponry. Their economy is struggling. They can't afford to spend billions on an attack like the US and Israel do.

I wish people cared more about middle Eastern people getting genocided by their own country (or their country aiding said genocide)

I hope this is true but I'm not confident voters care about the middle east.

Would be funny if the world finally gets motivated to save the planet from climate change only so that the genocidal state can continue genociding in peace.

I hope Israel does not use this as pretext for escalation. Wouldn't be surprising if the genocidal state pursues this.

It won't. Unfortunately this is not even a propportional response. I highly doubt attack on Gaza will be reduced, and I only hope Israel won't use this as pretext to attack Iran even more.

Israel doing more genocide. Disappointing but not surprising.

As opposed to an active genocidal occupier in Palestine?

If we keep going back, Israel has committed far too many hostilities that were never responded to. Hell, they bomb syria most weeks without any retaliation form Syria. They commit horrors against west bank citizens all the time.
