This dude confused the shit out of me when I started seeing him in short videos. Sounds smart while saying non-sense pseudo science.

I checked more about him, apparently he was normal and reasonable during early academic career then decided to go nuts and it kinda worked for him financially.

I kinda got sucked into that Clippy thing for a while then took a moment to think about like everyone.

Kinda cringe, to adopt anything coming from microsoft for a pro ownership movement.

I agree 100% with the cause but we could go with any other resistance symbol that could mean actually something.

I checked the list of countries of Europe, America, Asia & Africa and I couldn’t find it. It’s definitely not real.

I didn’t need to.

Once I had to write a utility and made sure it works on other OSes except GNU/Linux. The CTO asked in review why doing so? I explained, he said no, make it Linux only, if somebody needs to use it, they will have to install Linux then use it.

Something I appreciate about that place till this day.

Thank you! GrapheneOS isn’t an option then, I will wait for their phone.

I guess I could still shoot my shot with LineageOS.

As per my 30min research, GrapheneOS depends heavily on pixel internals, but I will highjack one of the mastodon posts maybe somebody will spoonfeed me the definitive answer.

I live in a very low cost area, hopefully I will manage to get a nameless phone to run GrapheneOS or LineageOS at low cost, forward most of the income to the open source projects.

It might be too naive but I am giving it a shot.

I am with you on this!

Need to buy a VPN? check F-Droid first. Need any other utility? check F-Droid first, I am ready to suck up a lot of inconvenience with the apps that aren’t polished (Most of the time they are superior). Feeling generous? donate and help make the world a better place.

I sucked up a lot of inconvenience using Linux for last 2 decades or so, so I am well prepared.

What will it take to make a phone that comes with GrapheneOS directly? I have access to some good connections in China, what phone spec could we prototype to have a phone coming with GrapheneOS? I am ready to throw my savings at starting this business. Or should I reach out to GrapheneOS people directly? (Lineage works also)

Part of growing up dirt-poor is making use of any hardware possible. I excel so much at that skill now thanks to all the open source projects out there (the WM, DEs, distributions, TUIs, …). I can really squeeze a lot from a tiny host & having this mentality as a dev now is some times appreciated 😄.

should check existing options first:

• Briar
• Simplex
• Tox
• Matrix and elements as frontend
• xmpp

How much did you donate to open source projects you use so far? you know life isn’t free
