PostmarkedOS is a bit frustrating as it makes you jumping through many hoops if you want to install anything not 100% FoSS (due to alpine base)

I personally think arch and mobian are the best options right now, using the phosh UI (I like gnome-mobile as well, but it is not as mobile friendly as phosh)

Now to the hardware part, you have basically two options:

1. Use a phone where most drivers are in the mainline kernel, but with bad performance due to weak SoC (e.g. pine phone pro)
2. Use a phone with strong(er) SoC but relay on custom kernel from the phone brand, locking you in place of the version of the kernel they modified (e.g. oneplus 6, I think)

At least this is how I remember it

When we come to App support; you mostly have to rely on webApps for proprietary services like train ticket, uber, etc.

For massages, I would recommend a Matrix server and the various bridges to third party messaging services that exist for it (be aware that some services consider a connection via bridge as incompatible with their ToS and may block you)

😮🫣 yea, makes totally sense to take alcohol and tobacco under the same umbrella as firearms and explosions 🤯

Do you see the dns calls in pi-hole when it is not reaching its destination?

Is this windows 8.1?

Passwords should not exist anymore in 2026 in my opinion (passkey, webAuthIn, OICD, SAML2, etc)

Ja, und Überwachung im Strassenverkehr ist hier in DACH fast genau so schlimm wie in Amerika

Not really in use due to time constraints but i have installed pro-audio, which is a nice collection of linux compatible audio software:

Games don’t cost more because of DLSS…
D-K after two sentences? Peak irony.

You can just not ship DLSS 5 in your game…

I don’t see any need to boycott this, especially not as gamers, as you can just disable DLSS 5 if you don’t like it.

I interpret this statement from New Blood boss as fear that their games without DLSS 5 won’t compete well against those with it available.
I don’t share this fear, as there was often new technology to art stuff more easy, like digital art, electronic music, digital cameras, higher resolutions etc.
It always made the traditional art style more valuable not less, as people are motivated to pay a premium for “authentic” art.

So my conclusion: Art that is targeted at mainstream / big quantity / fast release cycles has benefit in AI and has to use it to stay competitive, but in the other hand mainstream art has always been live-less / unhuman anyway, so I am not very sad about this.
“Real” Art that is done by Artists for themselves not made to be like by as many people as possible will grow in value and maybe even get more popular again as people may get fed up from re-iterating art that works (e.g. pop songs)

🤭🤫yess

It melts salt, isn’t it?

Tldr: most likely, microbiology was first living thing on earth and as they have no bones they “leave” without trace (fossils). That there really is a common ancestor is not at all proven based on the linked article…

Switzerland: my dad had to go to prison for a limited time for refusing military service and had to do an alternative service as well.

I was able to opt-out military in a normal way (just filling a form) and do the alternative service without going to jail, as this was changed in the time between

But the alternative service are 1.5x times the days you have to serve

🤫Linux with Plasma does exactly this

I did win 11 install like this:

1. Install windows
2. On login screen create a throwaway Account (mine was somthing like [email protected])
3. Decline all the adware
4. in Settings create new Account
5. say you don’t know the ms Account of that user
6. chose to set up user without ms Account
7. upgrade new user to admin
8. log in as newly created user
9. delete user lonked to burner MS Account

Nice Little Side effect is, that like this, MS gets flooded with dead accounts 😁

Maybe the robots kill us all in order to prevent Nazis from changing the climate 🤔
(like, the differentiation of human-non-nazi and human-nazi is too inefficient, so they just exterminate all)

👀proton-r34-chan?

Exactly, making it possible for admins (parents) to set up systems with rules based on age for their many children

For me, it was access to “free” Medikinet (paid by mandatory health insurance)

Trump gut, Putin gut, afd gut und krieg doof geht ja wohl auch nicht wirklich, wenn man analytische Denkkapazität hat…
