Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

grapheneos, calyxos, lineageos, etc.

[-] socphoenix@midwest.social 10 points 11 months ago

If these supported phones I actually wanted I'd consider it. Even better if they weren't a pain in the ass to install.

[-] Im_old@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it's a breeze.

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I know, just a matter of a few buttons.

[-] socphoenix@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

That’s really nice to hear, lineage on a tablet a while back took quite a bit of work to get installed. Nevermind then having to get it able to load apps that needed Google.

Still a bit salty they gave almost no warning before retiring that image though, one month notice that they were getting rid of it was dissapointing to say the least

[-] helpmyusernamewontfi@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago

blah! Android forks!

postmarket os is where it's at!

or Ubuntu Touch if you're... that type of person.

[-] Zeon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Still got to worry about firmware. We don't own shit.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago

Imagine devices you can actually repair yourself. I looked into switching the battery on my phone the other day and in the process it seems I could very easily break my display if I am not SUPER careful. It's literally easier to swap the display than the battery.

Would have been nice if they actually shipped devices to people who paid.

[-] Canuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

They finished shipping their backlog of Librem 5 crowdfunds and preorders last year...

[-] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

After diving every buyer stress for over a year.

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I'm not sure what you mean, but they do ship devices. Whether or not they are interesting is another topic.

[-] socphoenix@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Do you have a link to their store? I haven't seen one

[-] helpmyusernamewontfi@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago

purism is literally a scam company and shouldn't be promoted

[-] erasebegin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Everything we think of as owned is only borrowed from the Earth

[-] olmium@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

You're going to give it back?

I mean, I think it's a silly point, but yeah, ultimately we're going to give it all back

[-] velvetThunder@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago

I will be taking my shit to the grave! Fuck, that's literally giving it back to the Earth.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

No you won't. When you die you lose control of your bowel muscles. You won't be able to retain your shit.

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Imagine buying a piece of hardware knowing full well that doesn't work the way you want it to and then bitching that it doesn't work the way you want it to

[-] phar@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

There are no phone OSes that work the way we want, so we should just never say anything, as consumers?

[-] Nobsi@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

LineageOS does pretty well for me. Don't know what youre talking about.

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago

But only supports expensive devices, as far as I’m aware.

[-] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

nope. I used it on my 150$ phone for 5 years!

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

If you can't find an OS that works for you between android, iOS, the multitude of custom android roms, symbian, and Manjaro on the pinephone, then I suggest you either stop being so picky or make your own.

[-] phar@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The true Linux alternatives for phone are not usable like android and iOS are. Android and iOS are still garbage. I am unable to make my own. However I am also able to see obvious faults. Luckily on computers we have Linux, but we really don't have options like that on phones. The best we have is custom Roms but it's not the same as having a bunch of really good options.
