Sure. Looks like on Ubuntu Touch the only thing not working is the fingerprint reader

The OS in general isn’t ready for daily use though. It’s maybe doable if all you need is text, calls, camera, and a browser. And the calls only work in some countries. But it’s fun to play with.

Do you live in the US or Europe? There are some possibilities out there, but it’s kinda region dependent.

It seems like Linux-compatible android handsets stopped around 2021. Except a few bespoke models that are hard to get your hands on outside of Europe.

I have a OnePlus Nord N10 flashed with Ubuntu Touch as a tinker device, unfortunately in the US it’s not daily-able because we shut down 3g and 2g networks and they still haven’t managed to get VoLTE working on Ubuntu Touch yet (though it may be coming in the next year!) so phone calls don’t work.

There’s also the Pixel 3a/3a XL which are plentiful and cheap but I like the N10 a bit more because of the additional RAM. Makes it feel a little less old compared to the Pixel.

If you can get your hands on a Fairphone, Pinephone or Volla those are great but hard to get outside the EU.

Most Americans don’t think about other countries enough to really grasp what you mean by rogue state

They’re anti-capitalist and militantly pro LGBTQ+. What’s not to like?

No, my instance has always federated with them and I have not had any problems with Hexbear. They can be loud and boisterous when prompted but as far as Nazi-ism? They are leftists I’m truly confused at what you’re on about. Could you be any more specific?

Nazis???

In what universe are these people Nazis???

I mean why do they make you that mad they’re usually pretty cool

It’s “Shit Just Works”

I’m glad my feed has been pretty drab with them gone

Nah Voyager doesn’t keep the line going past the comment

I gave you two links, one which is much newer.

I’m looking at this community you linked I’m not sure I can see how you’re proving that “tankies” admire the modern Russian government.

I really haven’t seen that? A while ago I looked into HexBear’s opinion on it and it wasn’t good.

Check out this thread, there really isn’t any Putin worship in these spaces.

In this one some of the top comments are hoping Putin gets shot in the face. https://hexbear.net/post/3270551

In here absolutely everyone knows this stuff and it’s all just common knowledge.

Absolutely not. Not even close.

10y and 400k combined karma (mostly comment)

And I actually managed cold turkey, partially helped by my creating an entire instance which kind of made Lemmy a hobby I was invested in both time and money wise.

I value it more on cinematic, designed and directed experiences like my movies on 4K Blu-ray than in anything I do on my PC so I guess I never really missed it on Linux. In my limited experience with Windows HDR it can be wonky too

Okay find me one with Dolby Vision

Forget trying to get a dumb TV at least if you care about quality. Just don’t connect it to the Internet - if you really are paranoid crack it open and disconnect the WiFi antenna.

Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.

Google gets to control the source code, what additions are added, and what features don’t get into it.

Yes technically some organization could fork it and then maintain a fork themselves. But it’s a huge undertaking that almost nobody has the money to fund. Browsers are free so there’s really not a lot of monetization schemes for browsers.

So nobody as far as I know has really been able to maintain a hard fork of chromium for very long. Remember, every change you make then has to be maintained by you and then you have to keep it up to date with the chromium master tree while also keeping all of your changes compatible. It is a big undertaking almost as big as modern operating systems. Browsers are just too complicated so Google in this position does still have a monopoly that’s very hard to fight.

Almost all browsers other than Safari and Firefox are based on Chromium, which gives Google a ton of control.
