  • As soon as moto drops a graphene compatible device I’m getting one and never looking back.

    motorola hasn’t been killing it but, they’ve been doing fantastic. Like the last ~10 phones we bought have been the basic ass motorola , because it’s cheap, doesn’t come with bloat, and works fairly reliably. We’re fucking clutzes and drop it, break screens or lose them. I’m really glad that our spending habits led to them funding the ability to sell the graphene OS phone.












  • Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.




  • Final Edit: The PR has been merged into main.

    Fucking hell. All he had to do was fucking nothing, the bastard.

    Sabotage sounds spicy. It sounds dangerous.

    And yet, the underlying concept is simply this: inefficiency.

    I told you last time, make every inch have its cost.

    Resistance does not have to be violent, and that’s not something I’m advocating here. Resistance is the word no. Resistance is standing in place. Resistance is pushing.

    Resistance is the albatross around the neck of your opposition. Resistance is the anchor that drags along the sea floor.

    Here are some incredibly mundane but effective examples from the manual:

    Make mistakes with purchasing travel tickets

    Make engineering mistakes

    Make long speeches and waste time

    Act ignorant, or ask a lot of questions: if you’re not familiar with the concept of sea-lioning, you should really learn it

    Take longer to do your work

    Even if you’re terrified of doing more, this is simply a place to start.

    You are someone and you have a responsibility to do something.

    You cannot make it easier for the fascists to achieve their goals. You can’t do it today, and you can’t do it later if they claim authority. You must stand in the way of oppression.

    This is fucking horseshit. I’m turning against fucking systemd , and I had no fucking opinion before, now it’s completely clear they’re a bunch of 1940s IBM wannabees.

    EDIT : What a surprise, the fucker that wrote the PR works for IBM and “A Medical Malpractice company” and the one that merged it works for Microsoft.

    I’m Jeremy from System76. We are in talks with legislators and there are likely to be amendments to the age verification bills, as well as conflicting requirements in different jurisdictions. It may even be the case that open source operating systems are exempted entirely. I detailed this on the xdg mailing list here:

    https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2026-March/014797.html

    I have other concerns about this specific implementation. By relying on systemd, which is decidedly unportable to non-Linux operating systems, and not used across all Linux operating systems either, it will force at least one alternative implementation to exist. If these implementations end up having to collect jurisdiction specific requirements, that makes it much harder for compliance.

    IDK, I read about this bullshit like last week, and it was always presented in future tense. I saw this post from Jeremy from System 76 today in the goddamn Git thread, so excuse me for not understanding the current state of the problem.
