I don't understand my negative ratio here. "'The Final Solution' or 'the Final Solution to the Jewish Question' was a Nazi plan for the genocide of individuals they defined as Jews during World War II."

Hmm, I think the Lichee Pi image is almost guaranteed not to run on the BeagleV-Next, unfortunately. If you feel like creating a Frankenstein distro, I suppose you could leverage an existing/bootable kernel, etc, and swap out the rootfs with vanilla Debian.
I personally would expect Beagleboard to support Debian out-of-the-box, but it's still a recent release, so time will tell. RobertCNelson usually curates the Debian distros. Maybe it's worth reaching out to him on Beagleboard's Discourse forum or (Slack or Discord, I haven't kept up with it lately).
Do you mean the original BeagleV Starlight board? Yes, I do have one. IIRC, it did not have an OS pre-installed, but it's been years since I received it, so don't take this as fact. Debian and Fedora were officially supported while the project was in active development. I'd have to look deeper or reach out to Beagleboard, but I cannot locate a Debian image for it at this time, as all links seem to redirect to the current BeagleV-Next board.

While not a physical radio, a Linux phone such as the Librem 5 in conjunction with an RTL-SDR dongle and external antenna may be a good candidate for a mobile software-defined radio (SDR) transceiver.
SDR frameworks such as GNUradio or REDHAWK are well-established by this point. Newer versions of REDHAWK are designed to run on CentOS/Rocky Linux, however, and they don't (AFAIK) come with a mobile-friendly UI.
I do know that there are some web-based SDR tools in the wild. I'm not very familiar with them, their system requirements/capabilities/limitations, but they could be worth a look to jump-start a Progressive Web App for mobile devices.
Yeah, I really wish people would avoid using that phrase in general...
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
In general, "free" vs "libre" is intended to distinguish a difference between something offered free-of-charge (gratis e.g. proprietary freeware) from something guaranteeing user freedom (libre).
In my experience, "free software" typically refers to FLOSS and intellectual property with a restrictive license in alignment with the free software movement, whereas FOSS refers to "free-of-charge open-source software" and is a more generic term that could, for example, apply to restricted/proprietary intellectual property which is publically visible (i.e. arguably "open") yet may not necessarily use a software license permitting its implementation in external intellectual property.
Having said all that, many things commonly labeled FOSS could also be labeled FLOSS. It may either be a hopeless battle of semantics or a meaningful distinction, depending on one's perspective.
I can't say that I've ever used a single Megalixir in several Final Fantasy games due to them being limited in supply.
My experience living in the USA has also illustrated that, in order to benefit from certain assistance programs such as income-based discounted rates on internet services (namely Xfinity in my region), you must first be actively receiving public assistance. In other words, to receive aid, you must already be receiving aid.
I have not found consistent work for over 15 months but earn enough money to pay rent, utilities, and cover basic meals. However, I don't want to receive public assistance as it would make me feel like I am "officially in need" or "poor" rather than overcoming a temporary obstacle. I say this because, for the average person, there may be very little blocking the temptation to pursue the maximum amount of public assistance possible, as corroborated by supplemental internet service rate programs. I simply wish to accept only what is needed and nothing more.
I don't use a dedicated app at all to use Lemmy on my Librem 5 daily-driver. I access it via Firefox. To do this, I created a dedicated Firefox profile for Lemmy and created an app icon for it in the app gallery. More details here.
