I didn’t get the C2 from Jolla. I got a third party device from a third party seller.

Sony Xperia 10 III from Jolla Devices.

The Xperia 10mk3 is one of the better (or the best?) supported SailfishOS device.

Jolla’s SailfishOS does work in the US on Mint Mobile. Source, I own a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS. I live in the US.

Qobuz is BOTH a music store and a streaming service.

SailfishOS is a (non-Android) Linux phone that may be viable right meow!

SailfishOS runs fine (well?) on the Sony Xperia or the Jolla C2.

I just bought one a few weeks ago, but I haven’t had time to fully set it up yet (my house has been falling apart). I’m in the US with Mint Mobile and calls and SMS work. Camera works. Battery life is pretty decent. They have an Android compatibility layer that integrates pretty well into Sailfish. I was able to install F-Droid on it and then Bitwarden and Molly (Signal client) so far.

One of the more trickier apps I may need to install is Tailscale… but I’m thinking maybe I can switch to Netbird and use their reverse proxy and remove the need to install a VPN client on the phone altogether.

I’m not a heavy smartphone user, so for me I’m thinking this might be a viable path to take.

p.d. Yes, you can bring up a terminal. :)

Is this still the case?

Yeah, 100% agree.

While not the ideal right now, I think Codeberg shows promise.

They’re working on federation: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation

Although, sure, it doesn’t seem to be their #1 priority. However, compared to GitHub this is a great step.

Also, again compared to GitHub or GitLab, Codeberg gives me more confidence because they don’t seem to be a commercial organization: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#what-is-codeberg-e.v.?

So “getting bought” or having to “please investors” seems less likely.

We need federation and open standards, 100% agree. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc are on the opposite side of that mission. SourceHut’s answer to federation is email… which I think most people will not like.

I’d love to hear about a source forge that is:

• non-commercial, non-VC backed to avoid enshittification
• FLOSS, self-hostable
• has federation today (or is even open to working on federation)
• doesn’t have awkward federation UX (like email)

No, really, I’d like to know. Codeberg is the only I know that approximates that list.

Waffling on moving to Codeberg because it’s not 100% perfect means supporting GitHub and drops the possibility of federated forges to 0%. Moving to Codeberg makes the future of federated forges go up to greater than 0%.

• option 3: self-host Netbird control plane
• option 4: use Netbird’s reverse proxy

Yes, yes, yes! It’s increasingly looking like Codeberg is going to be the destination lots of people will move to.

Also, direct link: https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/project-migrated-to-codeberg/

I’ll share more details about where the Ghostty project will be moving to in the coming months. We have a plan but I’m also very much still in discussions with multiple providers (both commercial and FOSS).

• GitLab -> too enterprisey, danger of enshittification, if not already there
• SourceHut -> too different
• BitBucket -> lol
• Codeberg -> GitHub without the bullshit

I was able to sign up for netcup without any hassle! 🙌 No passport requirement.

Thanks!

I need to start doing this… I think I recently got flagged for not using AI enough…

Let’s see! 🤞

Your order will be checked by one of our employees shortly. You will then receive further information on the status of your order by e-mail.

I’m in the US and when I tried migrating from DO to Hetzner, I got asked to upload my passport to prove I’m not spam or something. Same experience with OVH.

Is this a thing for all European hosting companies? I ended up finding some Canadian hosting that would just let me sign up and pay like normal.

I know, right! That’s a feature! This… might… just be able to get me off of Whatsapp. I recently learned about Molly, an open source Signal client. They have a F-Droid repo…

If you can install actual Google Play store apps, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. Lalalalalalala. 🙉🙉🙉🙉

Things were unique and fun. That’s just not true anymore. Every new software update adds shit that you didn’t ask for and don’t want (AI, ads, removal of user freedom).

Amen. Every time I hear about a new tech product or startup or conference, now all I see are ads, subscription traps, and generally just people looking for new ways to fuck me.

(And I don’t like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace)

I just started experimenting with SailfishOS, a Linux (non-Android) OS for phones. It’s got an app store, but since it’s not Android the app selection is pretty limited. I was actually wondering if this could be a compromise between full smartphone and full dumbphone.

I am able to run some Android apps, by installing them through F-Droid, like Bitwarden, but it seems like I wouldn’t be able to install Facebook I think? Idk. Literally just got this SailfishOS phone from Jolla Devices yesterday.

It’s satire, but also fully functional. And they take money.

So, it’s a bit like your boss saying: you’re fired! LOL. Hahahaha. It’s a joke! Laugh! But, also you are really fired.

HiDPI has been an issue on Linux for decades. If you’re new to Linux, I’d highly recommend you do not get a HiDPI display. You’re gonna have to apply workarounds to get your apps looking normal and for some apps you might just be stuck with blurry fonts.

If you’re new to Linux and want less problems, avoid HiDPI.

Just look at how big this thread got: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301

doesn’t mean every customer that wants high resolution has to suffer.

There’s no possible solution to this problem. Oh, no. If only someone could invent some way where customers that want to deal with bugs could buy a HiDPI display and customers who just want their software to work could chose a regular DPI display. Like, if 2 options were available or something crazy like that… Idk.

Also yeah, I’m on a super niche DE nobody has ever heard of: GNOME.

I’ve dealt with this first hand. It was so bad I returned my old Framework. Not doing that again. Anyway, looks like nothing has changed. Have fun dealing with scaling issues. ✌️

It better not have a HiDPI display… It’s not “fully Linux compatible” if they ship it with a buggy, non-compatible HiDPI display.

“Full Linux support” should mean I don’t have blurry fonts, oddly shaped windows, stuck using only certain DEs, stuck using only certain apps.
