Question: What alternatives do you recommend compared to Lemmy.world?

Wait really? Ooo I have to check that out. Thanks!

Would that be a good focus? To get a unified standard for ARM developed to get many devs together to make software/OS’es for it and adapt phones to use those OS’es

I would recommend it. Very worth it overall (As a user of a similar Pixel phone)

What are your use cases?

That will definitely be the focus. If Europe people can mandate making Android and Apple Ecosystems be opened to having real GNU/Linux or anything else they want to be able to be put on it then that would make huge changes to getting that to happen

Very true. Covered that in my post on Europe

What is the bottleneck holding Fairphone back from supporting Linux fully?

That too! I covered that in another of my recent posts on the Europe community on here

That is a big thing Europe can at least make happen and in Asian/African/Latin countries too.

I like your addition though that is all facts!! Let’s keep pushing countries to make that happen.

To make them undo what Google is trying to do currently and what Apple does for long time to have all those devices be fully changeable for the OS

Needs to become a movement everywhere!!! Just as StooKillingGames, and the KeepAndroidOpen movements

We need a catchy name for it

Sure would be the toppiest of tops!

We can encourage them to work together in their official communication channels too!

Would be good for both of them on every level. GrapheneOS learning to make their own phones, and Fairphone learning to make an OS while both being partnered

Edit: Be the change you want to see everybody!! Flood the gates with what we want!

That’s true but you never know maybe in future they will. Definitely don’t see them doing it now. It would definitely be a hop on the wagon moment for them

Let’s push for it to happen!! Collectively we make it happen! Also, for more companies to jump on board. Imagine Samsung jumping on board to make a Linux phone!

The more alternative companies/organizations/groups that do not do these garbage practices the better. Private non-stock unionized companies. Best if open-source hardware but that part would have to be community done

Everyone keep helping more people switch to Linux and help them be part of in-person/online groups. To discuss Linux, and get help where needed.

So in a way we need more alternatives made from people who are laid instead of them going to same companies that will just lay them off again

Appreciate all this too, thank you!

Speaking of layoffs:

To everyone here I am in need of work and on side working on some personal open-source projects. If I’m going to be unhoused I might as well enjoy it:

• Endless Runner Mobile Game like Temple Run but with ninjas and fighting enemies like mechs, assassin fish robots, etc along the way. Going for a retro type aesthetic. Undecided on what kind

• A Dark Cartoon Action Rogue-like Shoot Em Up (Think Mouse: P.I. For Hire mixed with Vampire Survivors) where you are trying to survive against endless hordes of enemies and collaborating with or fighting against other players depending on the gamemode (Maybe both at same time for one gamemode)(To see how to implement local co-op too) https://youtu.be/9nrmJSgqYTI https://youtu.be/iIlkIA6lxl0

• A Conker-like spiritual sucessor game with a brand new open source mascot at the helm (Will see how to have other open source mascots part of the story in some way too in a tasteful way) https://youtu.be/bTsNc_Bh17Y https://youtu.be/eorXCzJlpJ8

• A Walking-Bike (I have ambitions for bigger vehicle projects with others in future. Walking Bike-Cars, etc) https://youtube.com/shorts/pspKOt-0XUg

• A Short Animation series about Mini-Kaijus and their adventures about going around (destroying) the world

I’m a newbie for most of this but doing to learn and revise/overhaul as I go and learn more to eventually make these better and build up teams to work on these too (Make a couple game studios one by one eventually as well)

Have more experience with programming but nothing publicly showable yet sadly since I don’t have much confidence/self-esteem in myself and well I have never shown my work before. I’m proud of them and how they play/run. I’m sure people would like them but I don’t know

My ultimate goal though is to make games, animations, and even vehicles that people enjoy using, have fun with to play, and are moddable, and with community creations so you can play/drive them however you want. Building up communities, studios, and more that live well, get paid well, and enjoy creating together

Thinking of making a Ko-Fi/Patreon but have no clue if anyone would even donate to see any of this be fully made and released.

We really need a list detailing which independent people-owned news media are best for specific countries, internationally, and online

What does 404media specialize in?

https://solutionsjournalism.org/, https://goodgoodgood/ com & https://goodnewsnetwork.org/ are good too from my experience

Star Wars GIF: More! More! MORE!!!

Hope there is something for USA too. Know Australia has a few

Also, Ironfox and Cromite are awesome too!

Hopefully Ironfox and Librewolf both replace Firefox itself overtime somehow (Since Firefox new leadership has been enshittifying it), maybe Cromite can do same for Chromium too

What do you recommend for searches?
