Nintendo would like a word.


Uhh no? Android is open source, from The Open Source Alliance. You’re conflating Google’s version of Android (Android + Google Mobile Services) with Android.
Android is Apache2 + GNU for the kernel. GMS is proprietary.


Huh?
Control of your phone does not equal Linux. Plenty of FOSS OS’s do that (including Android). And Android 16 brought Linux app support with GPU acceleration if you’re into that and want FreeCAD on your phone.


Android basically is a Linux phone, it’s a distro(ish).
It has a Linux kernel and a Linux-based OS wrapped around it. And just like you can compile FreeCAD for Debian or Arch, you can compile Fossify for Google Android, GrapheneOS, or LineageOS.
“Linux” phones in the sense you mean won’t be a “Debian” or “Arch”, they’ll be something else, just like Android.


Not to mention Apple decided to make passkeys Airdropable. Fun.
I worked on a cool projected called FedID: https://fedid.me/ that creates a distributed identifier (DID) out in the world, federated with AvtivityPub, and gives you a key you can sign in with via OpenID Connect. It allows the DID to have multiple keys for multiple devices, and delegate authority, so losing a device/failure is no big deal.
That being said, Web passkeys can be stored in password managers, just like passwords.


Yes, but in 12 months a Linux phone won’t even be close to where even 4 versions ago Android is. As long as Graphene (or Lineage, or Fairphone, plenty of models) keeps the security updates covered, there are good options out there.


True, but what I’m saying is there is an open model. If another community of devs wan’t a “Linux-based mobile OS”, they can fork AOSP like Graphene did. IE complain about Google, not Android.
Graphene works. No tracking, tons of FOSS and commercial apps, it just lacks some banking apps. One gap, vs all that exist between now and another Linux phone.
LineageOS is another option for other phones, also far ahead of other Linux ideas.


Isn’t the first just AOSP? GrapheneOS ships Google free.


They posted the wrong video.
Right as I pushed the button, my partner turned off the lights. It was freaky.
+ aliases are convenience aliases only. They are often stripped from ID datasets. Better to use a real alias.


The channel has great, well made content. I think it launched from Shorts and TikTok where there was also a large Chinese population following.
Barber. Someone didn’t go to cosmetology school.
Who’s going to turn this into the meme of the guy looking back and the angry girl?

If you ever get a chance to goto the CHM, do it. Super cool.
You mean Master Ken.
Quite s bit older than you and I:
You are not old at 30, your body is just out of practice and your mind lacks motivation. Both can be tough to overcome.
If things are hurting, I highly recommend cycling of some form, as it’s way less impact. Or hiking with poles, helps a ton. Just take it slow to start.
