Can I compile FreeCAD for Android? Can I run Linux apps that are compiled for ARM on Android? As far as I know, no. So it’s even less Linux than MacOS is BSD, and how is that helping for software freedom, or placing the control of the phone you bought in your hands?
So the question becomes when, not if, a Linux phone reaches parity with AOSP-based phones.
Yes, but you can expect almost no useful updates from AOSP anymore, which means it’s up to groups like those who develop GrapheneOS to keep up with what people expect while Android ostensibly keeps advancing, and they only support one hardware line.
AOSP has been neutered as much as Google has been able to. This was the reasonable next step.
Hey, the 4 or 5 times I pmmed people on Lemmy were definitely not to scam them. The jury is still out on being a bot, though…

I had an Apple ][e I could use at school. It was preferable to the ][c for the same reason.
Just need a job as a mortician, or become friends with a mortician who has questionable morals and needs money.
Ads also cost many users to be served to their clients, and the more invasive and obnoxious the ad, generally the more it costs. If they don’t want to respect me, why should I respect them?
It will harm the owner of the server, who will be serving a large amount of data to someone he may not want to, at his expense.
Anything you do to inhibit LLM scrapers is by definition going to cost more energy in the short term. The idea is to drive them away by making it too costly. And realistically, in the short term, the only thing you can do to make AI farms use less energy is to have their maintainers turn them off. I’m not aware of anything we can do to make that happen.
I wish you had the power to know who to trust. I wish i had that, too.
Imagine knowing every time the person who cared for you most in the world almost slipped up because they were exasperated with you. And there’s no real way to know when it’s a bad time to read their mind, if it isn’t always on. I think it would be hard to be really close to anyone if you could read their mind and they couldn’t stop you.
Cashback was a good take on this.
The movie wasn’t half as good as the book, imo, except for the car scene.
The answer to that is to do what God said to do to hasten his coming: spread the gospel. Not ban abortions, arrest gay people, criminalize trans people. Spread the gospel. Anything else is them using religion as an excuse to promote their opinions. I realize a lot of people here recognize that, but I still think it needs to be said.
When that is the light in your day…
The McDonalds point is in reference to inflation, which will certainly have an impact on the cost of vehicles. And I feel like you don’t grasp the concept of a luxury vehicle. By definition, it has more than the basics. This could be why my EV cost less than $20k used and a Model S costs $151k new. No ponytail, but I don’t expect having one would hinder my basic math, economics, or English comprehension skills.
Tine to spin up some alts?
Android isn’t FOSS, AOSP is. If you keep conflating that, I’m not sure what you’re getting at. And having a sandbox or VM that allows you to run Linux apps is not the same as having native support. That would be like saying Windows had Linux support 20 years ago because VMWare existed.
And no, control of your phone doesn’t equal Linux, but native support for a FOSS OS at the base level means that if the maintainers decide to go in a different direction, you can more easily part ways with them. AOSP used to be a more complete version of Android, but that has been clawed back repeatedly as Google transfers functionality to Google Play services and elsewhere, which has caused difficulties for LineageOS and GrapheneOS to be maintained over the years, including Graphene exploring moving to another device for support from the one line of devices they support now.
Clearly, this isn’t solely the fault of Android and Google, hardware vendors bear a lot of blame, as well as their desire to exert more control over their customers. But Google and Android have the exact same issue and certainly won’t be pressuring hardware vendors to open up their standards.
