Look up “gl inet” routers

Ahhh, more corporate stacking I see. Yeh, I’ve seen this one before, it doesn’t end well

More competition is always nice, but not if they’re only building their own OS backbones. For linux mobile to be viable, it’s gotta be a team sport on the software stack

If the kernal edge is 6.13, why are many popular distros like mint still shipping with much older builds? (6.8 in the latest mint released yesterday)

Thanks, that’s useful, I think it’s convinced me to finally switch

How do you find it as a daily driver in terms of QoL features such as banking apps and payments etc?

Was a really fun event, great at building our community, thank you to all involved! Looking forward to the next one

Unfortunately, his right foot might need a star

Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was “full refund, no questions asked” which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that’s illegal.

A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They’ve burned any respected reputation they had.

Lol, I guess this is supposed to be a joke?

Yeh, I’ll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it’s stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.

Better late than never I guess?

Yeh. The Librem was a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Borderline scamware by Purism. Will never go near them again.

Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.

Unfortunately what you’re looking for doesn’t exist. We all have been down this journey. There was some hope a few years back with Purism reviving dreams of a linux phone, but they shit the bed and now there is no viable alternative outside the big two.

Hilarious. I thought njalla got shutdown a few months back. Looks like they are back up and running. Any story on what happened?

This exactly. This is the audience for proton mail, and their success while sticking to this model is hope for us all

Anything that helps bookwyrm grow its knowledge library of books (missing a LOT of books that goodreads has) is a good idea. I fear however that combining anything which points people to where to pirate the book might not help the popularity/reputation of bookwyrm as a good OS alt to goodreads.
