Think PinePhone and Librem Phone,

I feel like, if AOSP was going to be adopted by the Linux community, it would've happened already.

I tried to give Lidarr another go, but it does too much. It's like it wants to be AI and I don't need all that.

But a Linux distro can go like for like, like what Google did with Java right? So people wouldn't have to recreate apps, just tweak them

Apparently, not necessarily https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-overview.html#:~:text=Kotlin%2FNative%20supports%20the%20following,Linux

I haven't looked into it. But I suspect that if Linux phones can get Kotlin to run natively, we'll start seeing some of the apps from F-Droid ported over and that will be the turning point.

Fedora runs like a champ on em

It's definitely worth the investment. I've honestly got about 15 things running on mine, including Home Assistant, Jellyfin and Navidrome and it's running idle at around 50% memory and 2% CPU.

Everything else I'm running on it runs fine, but Headphones is just being an oddball and it's annoying. 😭

Computing power and storage is so cheap nowadays that even people in middle-income areas can afford to collect piles of used smartphones on their desk drawers.

I think that's a dangerous assumption to make. Not everyone is as well off as ourselves. Some people can't even afford a desk, let alone have a desk drawer full of old phones.

The video is about the controversy surrounding how the Linux Foundation spends its money.

The speaker, Brodie Robertson, argues that the Linux Foundation should spend more money on the Linux desktop and less on other projects, such as blockchain and machine learning. He points out that the Linux Foundation employs the vast majority of core kernel developers, but that only a small percentage of its funding goes to Linux kernel development.

Robertson acknowledges that the Linux Foundation is not obligated to listen to his criticism, as it is a member-driven organization. However, he believes that it is still important to have a conversation about how the Linux Foundation spends its money.

Here are the key points:

• The Linux Foundation is the biggest employer of Linux kernel developers.
• Only a small percentage of the Linux Foundation's funding goes to Linux kernel development.
• The Linux Foundation spends money on a variety of other projects, such as blockchain and machine learning.
• Brodie Robertson believes that the Linux Foundation should spend more money on the Linux desktop.
• The Linux Foundation is a member-driven organization and is not obligated to listen to Robertson's criticism.

You start out by bemoaning the onboarding experience and then move on to portability and then speak up the idea servers should just be relays and browsers should be the new world order.

Yes, onboarding definitely needs to be improved.

Yes, portability can be improved. Lemmy falls short of Mastodon and not even Mastodon is perfect.

But, what mastodon does so is foster does do excellently is foster the idea that social media is a tool and that users shouldn't be overly attached. Also, perhaps if we learn to value servers, so not treat them as mere relays, perhaps we'll be able to teach value and independence.

The problem is, too many people keep trying to think, how can we make the Fediverse relevant in the modern world? And the better question is, how can we redefine the modern world? How can we normalize the idea of cooperative servers? Whether friends, towns, cities, etc. How can we make it so the people running the servers that host our communities are committed and engaged and not running them at a deficit? I would even go as far as to say that there should be government schemes to repurpose old computers into mini servers and that governments should give everyone a domain like NAME.TOWN.CITY and everyone can run a personal server and get used to it and then they can grow from there.
