They’re spending money on this pollution? What a loser

TIL, XML ded

It has security through obscurity, for what that’s worth. As in, no one’s tailoring large-scale phishing efforts and the like towards a Linux phone. Also, being willing to daily drive a Linux phone probably means you have good enough opsec awareness to avoid becoming low-hanging fruit.

All bets are off if a nation-state or the likes of Palantir go after the platform or a specific user/device, but you’re Probably Safe™ from most run-of-the-mill bullshit targeting phones these days. Your phone might not be secure in a technical sense, but the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

This post got me bricked up

That’s a wild idea, but you know what, I wouldn’t be surprised. The past several years I’ve seen a switch happening - Linux and FOSS overall not having to play catch-up nearly as much, and MS aping or full-on (but quietly) adopting certain aspects of Linux to keep the dwindling captive technical customers from complete revolt.

Yes… for some it is difficult to remember whether medication for the day has already been taken.

THERE’S MORE?

There’s a large number of people talking glp-1s (ozempic et. al) and they actually are looking for smaller portion sizes, which is driving a huge trend in grocery now of boxing up larger quantities of smaller items.

Of course the industry has used this to their advantage. Instead of just offering a 4-pack of frozen dairy treats at 2 oz each, they can offer an 8-pack at .8 oz each (less total product) and sell it alongside that one for even more, and they actually will sell more of the 8-pack.

Pinch of thermite should do it

I’m not sure how many shop there because it appeals to them

It’s a gnu+Linux OS with a default desktop environment. It’s intended to be installed on bare metal where it’s accessed directly by the user.

It’s not for server use. (At least not primarily or by default.)

So I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that it’s not desktop Linux.
