I can't find it in the settings but is there any way to sort comments by popularity instead of time? Just like it is in normal reddit?

Bibliogram is being discontinued, and Barinsta doesn't work anymore too..

Is there some good soul providing an instagram frontend or app? I really need it to see events, but i don't want to get caught in those useless post suggestions and ads, i just wanna see the content i chose to see.

These are the things i care the most: I want a smartphone i can repair on my own (battery and screen are the essential parts), with a bootloader easily unlockable, even better with verified boot / supporting a custom OS with re-lockable bootloader.

I don't care if it's supported by an official foundation or by custom ROMs foundations, i want something that will most likely get the longest term updates and security patches.

Does a device like this even exists?

I know that probably one of the few alternatives here is the fairphone, however it's really expensive and i've read many negative reviews of it (pieces staying out of stock for months or stuff like that), and i can't see the meaning of having a repairable smartphone if i have to spend the same money that i would spend buying 3 smartphones with the same specs that would last me the same time. That said, i know the market isn't favouring these kind of businesses and these devices NEED to be expensive in order to keep existing, but i would like to know some other possible alternatives that satisfy these requirements, if they even exist.

Honestly i've come to a point i would probably prefer spend my money on a guitar instead that on a smartphone and just give up, the industry is terrible 😅

I regurlary took nandroid backups on my pc with TWRP (adb backup --twrp) of my phone, one day i needed to restore one and i found out i wasn't able to, the restore would stop midway and i needed to completely reset my phone..

Probably the corruption could have happened because i originally took the backups on a PC with a Ryzen processor, that's what i managed to figure out.

Anyway now i wanna make sure to have safe and healthy nandroid backup, is there a way to check this without having to try to restore on an emulator every time?

From a first perspective it actually looks good! I think these kind of regulation were really needed. But i would like to hear your opinions!

The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

I've been proudly using Lineage OS with microg on my phone for a while now, and while it wasn't ideal, it was good for my daily use.

Now that i'm traveling, however, i really miss some important features, like a properly working geolocation service (i'm using the Mozilla one and it's slow and buggy), and a proper navigator, sad to say that google maps works just too well for certain things like buses or trains.

Magic earth was okay till i moved with car, i could get a position on google maps and then get there with my car and the navigator was working good, however when i need to move by foot or transports is terrible, it takes 10 minutes to find your position approximatively, only working with mobile data, and it doesn't follow you when you move..

So i found myself in some unhappy situations where i would need to rely on someone else's phone to not get lost in a city or to call an uber to my right location. I also got lost when i needed to move only by walking. Of course you can get wherever you want with older methods, like asking to people or signs, but sometimes you just need quick solutions that are reliable.

Is there any real way to use gmaps unonimously except that with the containerized version that graphebe offers?

I do not really want to buy a Pixel and give google more money.

I see i can find a foss version on f-droid, and that's something not a lot of social networks can have, i don't really like all the crypto bullshit and ads testing they've been up to lately, but still looks better to me compared to what Reddit have done lately or what other platforms have done in these years..

I don't know about their privacy feature, but i wouldn't trust their chat as for as far as i knew they were not end to end encrypted some time ago (except for secret chats).

Anyway it still looks like one of the at least still decent platforms out there, or am i wrong?

I've been using linux for some time now, i would still say i'm quite a noob but i've tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i've tried cinnamon before and couldn't really see myself using it, i've seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what's in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?

I reaserached for hours but it looks like since they added typesense the 32-bit armv7 is no longer supporterd with docker.

I have a raspberry pi 4b with Raspbian installed which sadly is 32 bit, even the docked docs say they require a 64 bit, but i heard people usually habe no trouble setting up docker packages in a 32 bit.

Docker is the only way to install Immich right now, i tried to install an older version without typesense but docker can't find the package for those ("unknown") pheraps because it's a pretty old version.

I wonder if someone had the same problem and found a solution outside of that crazy dude in the repo discussion that managed to get it running somehow compiling it on its own.

The course i'm following says primitive types belong to the execution context in the call stack, but are they part of the context variable environment?

I guess variable declarations would surely be part of the variable environment, but what about the other primitive types, like null or undefined? Do they need to be attached to a declaration or are they stored in as well?
