Looks pretty great, though I’d never buy it due to the lack of software support. I wish that developers making these phones would just allow easy bootloader unlock and give the device trees needed for custom roms. The community would do the rest, just like Xiaomi phones in the old days.

Wait until the guy hears that nazis drank water and were also… breathing?

rolling, stable

Huh?

My friend just got a new Xiaomi phone. He tried unlocking it a few days ago and got “try again in 168 hours”. That happened in Europe. It’s an absolute mess nowadays, I remember when they started blocking you from unlocking the bootloader. First you had to wait 24 hours, then 3 days, now it’s an entire week. You also need to make sure you’re logged into your Mi Account on both phone and PC and do even more weird fuckery to ensure the process actually go through. Meanwhile, on GOOGLE Pixel devices you just type one command after you enable oem unlocking in settings and reboot into fastboot mode. Crazy.

Yeah. As much as I love GrapheneOS and all the security work, sometimes I feel like their “ideal” setup is to just install GrapheneOS on the latest Pixel phone and use only the 5 or so built in apps, as everything else is insecure, brings additional code baggage and can introduce flaws. I don’t think anyone can live like that.

It’s actually a lot faster now with dnf5 in Fedora 41.

You don’t need to type apt-get, you can just do apt upgrade.

KeepassXC + KeepassDX. Have been using them for years without ever thinking of alternatives.

It’s not ready for everyday users when you disable basic multimedia codecs. I know it’s a US patent issue but still, you can’t expect newcomers and everyday users to just “install a browser via flatpak instead” or “just get your mesa and ffmpeg from this third party repo”
