Just did my part 🚫🎞️🇨🇦

I think it should be available just in time for Windows 10 sunset later this summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdR-bxvQKN8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebmp2FIrTlE

Because they’re DRM free, they’re super easy to install too! Another install method is Heroic

I find having the full OS is useful, and this KDE environment proves great https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

I have a Note9 I just did a battery & screen replacement on, a Key2 that had not been used until a year ago (so still has great battery life), and a newish Librem5. Most other phones, e.g. those mid-range Samsung’s, or phones without headphone jacks feel like sidegrades rather than upgrades.

They’re all 4G though; both Android model variants are unrootable, and of course behind on their security updates. Next phone would need to be 5G, and ideally allow longer security updates, or allow Mobian + Waydroid install. Maybe one of the Asus ones. Honestly wish Fairphone had kept it or brings it back; they’re missing out on a big segment of customers that would be a good match.

To afford an out of carrier phone, just dipped down to a cheaper plan that still meets my needs.

I exclusively use phones with headphone jacks. Using GNU/Linux mobile more to get longer software security updates where needed/possible. All GNU/Linux native phones have headphone jacks.

Same, also looking for private tracker invites, ideally where you’re rewarded for both seed ratio and time kept alive.

I just built a 24 TB NAS (expandable to 432 TB over time) with arrr services. I also tend to take existing content and add complete metadata for higher quality files (mostly FLAC audio files).

The list of devices on Replicant OS is old and short. Proprietary blobs are a big issue for Android.

Open Street Map. If something isn’t accurate, you just update it like Wikipedia. I made some updates to my city, and now it works flawlessly

OVOS & Neon are MyCroft’s successor. They work well, and can even plug into LLMs
