I wonder how this will effect the linux phone space (mobian, postmarketos, ubuntu touch). I hope it does not negatively impact progress by stealing attention away.

RIP fuchsia.

Postmarketos is a project that already does that. You can run full fat gnome on a pixel 3a or oneplus 6, though phosh is more polished for daily use.

Having a removable and upgradable wireless module makes sense given Framework’s ethos. Wifi is being constantly developed with new versions which makes it worthwhile to make upgradable wifi modules. Last time I checked you could even save some money by not including a wireless modules on the Intel models.

I always think about the direction that the top of the circle turns to apply left or right rotation, though I usually use muscle memory.

I guess they were the only ones to make a significant visual change?

I personally went with a yubikey because their form factor is pretty slick. I’m not to worried about damaging the key.

Any reason to use the apps you listed over just using discord in a browser?

I switched over to Zoho as well recently. While there are some upsells, they are usually reasonable enough. I also occasionally use their other services like writer, notes, and calendar which is nice.

Can we remove the “roaming” from that sentence? Our rates are too damn high!

IIRC Framework can preinstall fedora for you since it’s officially supported. I use Fedora on an AMD Framework 13 and its been very smooth. Even the fingerprint sensor works.

EDIT: They will not install linux for unfortunately but it is still supported

Electric cars are better than gas, but the extensive car infrastructure needed to sustain cars remains the same. The real solution is having viable alternatives to driving to reduce the need for car use altogether.

But also, there are significant potential savings and advantages for data storage at home.

The learning aspect is the big one for me. If you need a reliable service with no time spent learning or troubleshooting, you’re probably better using a paid service.

Bitwarden does exactly that. It will mostly work with no server connection.

Once again, 2 > 1 holds true.

That covid-19 update was crazy. Not sure I trust the devs after that. Maybe adding air gaps would be a good idea.

You wanna know what’s also a burden? The damn WILDFIRES BURNING THE COUNTRY!

I have one of the newer AMD models and I find it has about 2-3 hours of batter life, though it spends most of it’s time suspended for my use case. I use Fedora and have the “balanced” profile selected. I don’t mind the poor battery life since the processor is leaps and bounds better than the 6th gen 2 core Intel I was using before.

The bullshit of chromeOS to be capable of running on the shittiest hardware but having an artificial lifetime for devices is stupid. To google’s credit, they did increase that limit to 10 years, but that was only recently.
