Fairphone due to having some online code activation thing for OEM unlocking. Bootloader of my FP4 has been unlocked for quite some time now, but if I recall correctly, this activation step was required for me to load custom ROM on it.

This website disappears, you can’t unlock your bootloader.
That is why Fairphone is in Caution section.

Microsoft being in “safe” is a bit funny, and the explanation acknowledges that as well.
But it is there due to it containing only two Surface devices, which have easy and standalone bootloader unlock process.

Impressive. Always nice to see more interoperability.

Also, I fail to see how second link has anything to do with Bluesky federation.
Oh, I see, that specific reply is from Bridgyfed.

Until it is suddenly there, while you are unprepared to do anything about it.

Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.

Yes, and so is a virtual machine. I’m thinking install Linux to disk so that it can then run directly on hardware.

Yes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).

and this year Android also surpasses Ubuntu for personal use (29% vs. 28%).

lol why bother with same OS category when you can just compare across whichever fields you want

Oh, this video by Digital Foundry is also relevant:

I’m sure that there are games (either video games or IRL physical games) designed for this. Some simple “here are some possible instructions, use them to achieve some goal” thing.
Something like described here:
https://wiredme.com/blog/active-coding-games-for-kids/
But I am interested in knowing more examples of such games. Is there any Wikipedia article for this category of games? Is there any list with more of them described?

Is the “Projects” section of https://the-federation.info/ what you are looking for?

Don’t know, but other three Invidious instances listed on https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=CBCujAQtdfQ seem to work.

lolwat. can you explain the reasoning in your second paragraph?
Also I’m not sure that your definition of Enshittification is correct.

there was this satirical “web browsing simulator 2025” or something like that where you had to do all those things.
but I don’t remember the exact name and can’t find it with a search engine. Maybe someone else knows what I am talking about.

I’m not going to replace a whole <insult>ing OS just to get a camera to work. Is deep-level OS tweaking the only way to get the proper image data from the camera sensor?

I took this image with FairPhone 4, running LineageOS 22, using the default camera app.
https://obzorje.kompot.si/s/cPaYdRHQf2CG6iL
Tried playing around with some other camera apps from F-Droid, but all of them make pretty much same pixelated mess as the default.
No idea what the reason for this is. Is the camera sensor on phone actually decent, but then some algos in camera app fail to optimise things or something?
No idea, but I am quite often ashamed of sharing pictures with other people.

Luckily I am a kind of person who takes more “utility” type of pictures. Markings on devices and other kind of informative stuff.
If taking pictures of beautiful views and social events was important to me, I would probably not be using FairPhone 4. I would want to use it, but with the current state of camera on de-Googled phone, for artistic purposes, I could not.

I was not aware of the issue that downvotes negatively affect mental health.

cool idea

concept somewhat reminds me of OpenDesk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opendesk
Which I know about because it uses the same name as https://opendesk.eu/en/ , which I am actually interested in.
