Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I kinda sorta getting used to kbin, lemmy, mastodon and such, but peertube is a different beast altogether. I still have no idea how to find videos

    I tried looking through PeerTubes today via the TubeLab app. Oh man what a mess :s

    Internet slave Zombie memes hit differently, because they reflect the truth of the situation

    Is that ceasar jojo on the right

    Tried getting a Librem phone, ended up getting partially hoaxed (it is an "investment" and you're a "backer". You're not a customer.)

    Thought of getting a pinephone instead but ended up getting a pixel and I can feel Google's tentacles all over... But I accept them unti I can do better.

    I am surprised you didn't install graphene on it? Seems to be the only reason to buy a pixel imo

    As someone who has been using Pixels (and Motos and Nexuses) for a while, I was getting them largely because they were pretty hassle free to crack the bootloader and sideload a ROM that lets me actually modify the interface (and other root-access shenanigans). That said, I recently learned about graphene and I intend to give it a try when I have the time to mess with things.

    Consider looking into graphene-os. I haven't used it yet, but it purports to force google's apps back into the sandbox, and replace most of their methods with reverse engineered ones that don't phone home.

    Since you have a Pixel you can install GrapheneOS on it which excludes all of the Google from Android.

    Maybe down the line... Last time I fiddled with a Xiaomi Redmi note it ended up without IMEI , forcing me to get a new phone so I am weary.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

    GrapheneOS is basically stock Android for Pixel phones, but more privacy features baked in. If anything was to go wrong, you aren't touching the recovery partition, so you can revert to stock easily.

    Install Graphene, free yourself from the tentacles

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    calyxos is another option if you don't want to go the grapheneos route

    I got an openmoko back in the day. I know the feeling.

    I eventually did have fun with it but it never became a phone for me.

    Oh from the thumbnail I thought they had a really nice colourful shirt on. Kinda disappointed now.
