If you use the barebones one, then you're actually using Arch ๐Ÿ˜‰

Awesome!

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense ๐Ÿ˜‰

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

Nice, we don't encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It's back up now.

You live in a climate that's not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it's nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

I get that but it still sounds awesome ๐Ÿ˜‰ Of course Gitea federating with other Gitea (or Forgejo) instances would be awesome and make it a right candidate to host another fediverse project.

We also hope to migrate development to Gitea once federation is implemented.

That is awesome to hear! Lemmy federating with the code forge it's hosted on sounds awesome!

Uh reading your third link, no they are not reluctant to discuss it. That whole discussion sadly was about how the original "proposal" was framed, and I have to agree with that person that it wasn't "proposed" but more stated as a demand.

Like the others said, no. To explain in a bit more detail:

Ubuntu Touch uses something what's known as "Halium", which internally uses "libhybris". This puts Android's proprietary userland drivers in a container to allow them to run as is and provide hardware support.

postmarketOS however doesn't use any existing drivers, proprietary or not, from Android. Instead we rely on upstreamed and FOSS drivers in the kernel, Mesa, etc. This is more maintainable in the long run but way more work in the short run. So no, Ubuntu Touch supporting something doesn't help us.

Without telling us what distro you're using, nobody can help you. Also social media is not the right place to post it, report it to your distribution instead.

Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don't have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it'll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

That I really don't care about haha. I've never been a rich player anyway, probably why I liked the GE ๐Ÿ™ˆ

 

[email protected] , please join and help it make more awesome and bigger than the Reddit one :winking face:

I'm one of the core pmOS devs and although the other core devs aren't Lemmy users yet, I'll make sure to hang around, answer questions, moderate, etc.

For the people that don't know about postmarketOS yet:

postmarketOS is a real Linux distribution for phones. We are sick of not receiving updates shortly after buying new phones. Sick of the walled gardens deeply integrated into Android and iOS. That's why we are developing a sustainable, privacy and security focused free software mobile OS that is modeled after traditional Linux distributions. With privilege separation in mind. Let's keep our devices useful and safe until they physically break!
