Linux phones have already been around for many years. Right now we’re very close to Linux phones that are usable on a daily basis. Not as close to decent Linux phones, of course, but with the right (not at all unrealistic) resources it could be completely within reach in a year or two.
Also, Flatpaks exist and work pretty much just like Android apps.
Because it helps trans kids greatly to know that what they’re feeling is okay, that they aren’t alone in this and that there are solutions available.
Of course, a topic like this needs to be introduced very carefully. Though this entire discussion is pointless at the moment, because American education system is worthless and serves no real purpose, so it’d never get done right anyway.
Use it for the time being and never buy an iphone again.
As a pacifist who solves all problems through dialogue… how can I help?
Instructions unclear. Wrote my contact address as Pyongyang and now I’m getting emails in Korean.
-> push software that needs tons of ram
-> cause ram shortage
-> ???
-> …profit?
This is the kind of successful entrepreneur we’re supposed to be looking up to, people.
Cool, I guess, but I don’t know if I care about some millionaires’ opinions or feelings. If joking is all they are willing to do, then really why bother at all?
Of course, I imagine it’s for PR, but I still have to ask.
The moment you realize it’s sometimes profitable for corporations to actively waste resources, it becomes clear that our current economic system is incompatible with environmental care.
why doesnt valve demand devs make linux builds?
Because nobody would do that. Valve is not PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo. Every publisher would rather release games elsewhere than spend resources on Linux builds.
Plus, most Linux builds are terrible and Proton works much better. To make this happen, first of all you’d need Unreal to die and for most bottom game developers to either lose their jobs or to learn actual game development.
Ah yes, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.
The losses on the American/Israeli side are so low they need to censor any publicly available information. Truly nothing to see here. In fact, they’re doing you a favour by saving the time you would have wasted looking for damage done by Iran that clearly doesn’t exist!
American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace
You mean lobbies the government to ban Chinese EVs, because they have no means of competing whatsoever? Free market for me, but not for thee.
I’m mainly interested in the hardware, i.e., screen, camera, build quality, that kind of stuff. Though it’s good to know about the software, since Graphene will most likely be the same with its security features.
ethical hackers
Now all we need is for some unethical ones to hack them into bankruptcy.
According to the article, it was a little obvious that it’d be Motorola. To me it’s unexpected as I wasn’t following this all that closely. In any case, I’m personally pleased with the OEM choice. I’ll need to do some research on Motorola’s smartphones to prepare for the one/s that support Graphene.
If he’s really building a nuclear bunker, then it’s pretty much a confirmation that he’ll not be leaving office in 2028.
It’ll not be finished before 2027. There’s no way he’s building a bunker to potentially use within a maximum time frame of 2 years.
Not to mention it’s another sign that his administration is preparing for a war involving nuclear weapons. Which nobody but the USA is capable of igniting. So, yeah… Great times ahead.
I’ve been gaming pretty much exclusively on Linux (and Steam Deck) for the last few years. No issues so far. What problems did you run into?
When I hear ‘mainstream phone’, in my mind I picture an iPhone or a Samsung. So yeah, Linux phones are definitely not achieving that this decade. Though personally I don’t think they necessarily need to, at all.
Point 4 is probably not happening any time soon, if ever, either. Rest is slowly being done and progressing, so I’m not seeing any major problems there.
I don’t think anyone realistically expects a Linux phone to compete with an iPhone in terms of ease of use, quality of life features or UI/UX. As far as I’ve seen, people just want a decent phone with basic functionalities like long battery life, good camera, easy to use and smooth UI, maps and navigation. All while being more private and secure, of course.
