Fascist dictatorship says “Don’t pull an Anne Frank as we Hitler away all Palestinians.”

DRAM pricing is killing every single market. That’s what happens when we have a fully digitized, centralized market.

Funny thing, I have the exact set up you’re looking to build. I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S5E Wi-Fi Tablet with LineageOS installed, and it works like a charm!

I’ve had the tablet for a couple of years, and it is starting to show its age a bit with the hardware. And I think there’s a lack of codecs in the more recent OS updates that have prevented me from playing higher than 2K quality for videos on YouTube or Stremio, but it gets the job done!

Needs more Bobby Kotick, with a dash of that evil sham pastor who actually looks like the devil.

Try GrapheneOS

“Plz oh plz, don’t attack our tuff and mighty tech corporations! Plz don’t attack dem I might get a boner and dat would be vewwy bad! Oh plz don’t attack dem, Mr. Scawwy Iran, I might cum! I might cum so fucking hard!”

I agree with you 100%. Ever since Google made the switch to their crapware Tensor modem, the Pixels have been going downhill starting with the Pixel 5, I guess with the exception of the Pixel 8 series, which I’m rocking right now.

Heck, I’d argue that Pixels in general are better cameras than they are phones. My beloved Pixel 4 XL succumbed to that swollen battery issue, and my Pixel 6 Pro couldn’t keep a consistent cell connection if my life depended on it (and I think in one case it very well could have).

The day GrapheneOS reveals the Motorola phone from its partnership is the day I will jump ship from Google Pixel, camera quality be damned. Y’know, provided Motorola uses a Qualcomm chip and not Tensor or gasp Exynos!

Something something GrapheneOS, LineageOS, SailfishOS, Jolla Phone, Pinephone Pro.

There’s the PinePhone and Pinephone Pro.

Other than that, there’s LineageOS supported phones

As if their consoderation of adopting AI into their dev stack wasn’t enough.

Anyone have any recommendations for distros like Fedora that don’t have systemd and won’t consider using AI, but do support KDE?

I bought a $20 Onn 4k TV box from Walmart, degoogled it, replaced the stock launcher with FLauncher and eventually LTVLauncher. So I guess DeGoogled Google TV (AndroidTV OS).

Can somebody say PROPOGANDA?!

I’d use Android Auto + Sandboxed Google Play more if Android Auto allowed NewPipe, OsmAnd and other FOSS apps to be added to the dashboard.

B-bu-buh-buht muh cloud computing, and S3 buckets, and no need for physical, and non-ownership!

This is exactly why I started moving my shit off Proton Drive and into my external hard drive. Yes, the Proton Suite is private and secure, but I want to own my shit.

Also why I’m moving my shit off Bitwarden and onto KeepPass.

Backups are key, Lemmyngs!

Also likely: they just took the investment money and ran, the fucking robber barrons they are.

Hard agree that bookmark import/export would make transitioning to IronFox much more incentivizing, but aside from that, I love how hardened it is.

I wish I had done more research into which TP-Link router I could flash OpenWRT on before buying the one I’ve been using for the past two years.

Seriously considering using OpnSense on an old laptop at this point.

Went back and forth between the following:

Vanadium - secure Chromium browser installed by default on GrapheneOS, Bromite/Cromite - alternative secure/private Chromium browser, Quetta Browser - private Chromium browser that comes with an AI-based ad blocker and extension support, IronFox - private Gecko browser that is as hardened as LibreWolf or Mull Browser.

Right now, I’m daily driving Cromite and IronFox, the former now having extension support via Developer Options, which allowed me to enable and install extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

You da freaking GOAT! Thank you for introducing me to this!
