Let go your earthly tether Enter the Void empty, and become wind

I have enjoyed learning more about FOSS over the last 15 years, and have only contributed some logistics and occasional monetary donations. I think the point of FOSS is that it is disparate and people contribute what they can.

There are always going to be people out there that don’t fully understand and treat FOSS software contributors like they are receiving a million dollar salary to code them. Then there are those purists who want 100% FOSS even if it compromises usability.

All of that to say, if you feel like sharing with a wider audience you can and I am sure someone will appreciate it. But if you choose to keep it for personal use to avoid the headache that is understandable too. If you share it and get some hate, just tell them to fork off, lol.

Yes. Once Fox canceled it Comedy Central picked it up after the direct to home video movies. Comedy Central canceled it after a season and Hulu has now picked it up, currently in its second season there.

There can only be… NONE!

Nitrux is the only thing keeping me sane in this world and I’m still here waiting for my return and the next time I’ll be able to buy the new one

Me every time I am testing a pen if it has ink:

I don’t think google wants to get hit with another antitrust lawsuit for web browsing, so I am sure they will figure out some other deal to funnel money to Firefox

I wonder if he made a big deal when Battlestar Galactica did it for their promo poster:

Tattooed on the lower back to be more specific

The animals of course. Vegans don’t have enough meat on them.

It’s funny that I am rewatching the series right now. Thankfully it is still as good as I remember it

Looming back it was probably Windows XP as the last time I used Windows as my main OS. I switched not because Windows was enshittified like it is now, but because the FOSS movement sounded interesting to me. I loaded Ubuntu on an old laptop, and once I got drivers working it covered everything I needed besides gaming. As I became more of a casual player I used Windows less and less until now where I only use it at work. It’s been an interesting journey.

I don’t really care about the real init war, but I like this conic version!

I like the default look of Nitrux

You get to pick. 90 seconds, 90 minutes, 90 hours, 90 days, 90 weeks, 90 months, 90 years, 90 rotations around the Milky Way Galaxy, 90 cycles of the Big Crunch/Big Bang, 90 iterations of God, 90 iterations of whatever made God, etc…

You are correct that in our current capitalist system, the employees were in the wrong.

The problem is the capitalist system itself is wrong.

The Antiwork community is here to as a counter culture to the capitalist/corporate culture that has become so ingrained in our society at large. The idea that a person is forced to stay at work for their entire shift, even during times where there is no work to be done, is a problem. That is essentially where the term “wage slave” comes from, because while we are on the clock we lose our freedom to do what we want with our time.

What is the date and faces thing measuring? lol

When the phone is not set to suspend, and mostly idle with a couple of apps running, and some occasional web browsing, its about 4 hours. Under similar conditions using suspend (meaning it will keep the modem powered and wake up the rest of the device wen receiving phone calls and SMS) then I can get through a 9 hour workday and have about 40% battery left.

I have been daily driving the phone for a couple of years so I’m sure the battery has degraded some, but I don’t know how much difference I would get with a new one. It can be easily replaced, so I may do that in the future.

It certainly shows the potential for mobile Linux for sure. There’s a project https://postmarketos.org where you can install their mobile Linux OS on Android phones if you want to give it a try on a spare phone or something. The wiki lists what phones the OS can be installed on and what hardware features are working for each device.

I daily drive the Librem 5 and am typing this reply from the phone. The honest feedback (and tl;dr) is that it is a good device for those who value privacy over convenience.

The hardware kill switches are a nice touch, especially on the camera/microphone. I don’t have moments of suspicion that if I have a conversation about a toaster that I will suddenly start seeing ads about toasters everywhere.

It’s nice not to be bombarded with notifications to review their app, accept TOS that my data will be used to sell me stuff, irremovable bloatware, and some of the other annoyances we got used to experiencing.

As a basic communications device it works fine. Phone calls (VoLTE) and SMS text messaging works, depending if your carrier allows you to BYOD and provides the network info. SMS can sometimes get “clogged” in the modem when there is a very active group text; but for me usually resetting the modem using the hardware killswitch, a 15 second process, fixes it.

Of course the downside is a more limited app ecosystem compared to Android. You will have to search for convergent apps and flatpaks, but I have found everything I need through Flathub.

The camera does not take influencer quality photos, but if you need to take a quick picture of something and share it, then it works.

Battery life is definitely something to be desired, but I can make it through a work day with automatic suspend doing some light web browsing and sending some messages throughout the day.

Since I mostly use a computer for web browsing, emails, and word processing, I dock my phone and use it in desktop mode. It’s not blazing fast, but for my purposes it is more than fine. Its actually a cool feeling to sit at my desk, start typing an email, listening to music, and then undocking my phone and continue the email on the go from the same device.
