Have a look at meshtastic. Yes, you do have to get a separate device, but range on it can be several tens to hundreds of miles depending on the mesh density.

I don't have a significant need to use a laptop or desktop as my phone is my primary computing device. With that said, I run Mint Debian Edition on my laptop. Just because I want my computer to work when I go to use it, even if it has been six months.
Haven't had a reddit account since API Gate.
I don't use a PC for very much anymore, so I have little need to use my laptop. But when I do, I've honestly just gone with Linux Mint just because it works. And I have Lineage OS on my phone, which is my primary computing device.
And i no longer use Ubuntu. I remember that too. I also remember such large push back that it was removed
I think it was a great idea, but poorly executed. I prefer using simpleX, personally.
If my Linux distro searched the internet, when I opened my launcher, I'd be finding a new Linux distro.
Yep, just set your Wi-Fi routers to use 6GHD and trample all over the other people in the band until they figure out that they can't control it.
I said nothing about the agency whatsoever. I don't give a shit what they see as compliant or not. If it's not open source, I won't fucking use it.
As long as the wearable contains open source software and preferably open source hardware, then sure, I'd be willing to do so. Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.
Imbezzled. Money was used to pay for somebody's vacation.
I've been slowly making my way into the smart home ecosystem and was incredibly concerned about these not because of paperweight necessarily but because of needing to send data to a company over the internet which might not be available when it's needed.
So I ended up going with Home Assistant and I'm really happy about the launch of the Works with Home Assistant program with the logo on devices.
