I believe that but I do have to wonder how much of that is due to no credible leads being offered on most cases vs them just cheating their own narcs. “Money paid” vs “Money offered” doesn’t give any clarity to that.

Why bother asking the bullshit machine

Yeah but like, it’s a handheld device? How was it delivered

+1 for Immich - it’s actually great

Dropped by drone?

And you fully control the service?

Which is exactly why I never installed Plex and went straight to Jellyfin

from nokia candybars and palm pilots to having a an always on camera, microphone, location and wifi sensor controlled by foreign advertising companies

We could build things with all that tech outside of those group’s control. That’s what brought you here to the Fediverse isn’t it?

For example I like Smart Home stuff. I’ve got dozens of devices I can control through my phone or automations etc around my house. My lights even. But I only like it because I control it thanks to FOSS stuff like Home Assistant. It’s local. Not reliant on external servers and works exactly how I like. If you bought cheap-o wifi gadgets that all rely on 20 different apps you’d have a really shitty experience and all your data harvested and your lights not turning on because whatever company shut down.

We can take control of phone tech in a similar way. Unfortunately I doubt we will as a whole but I think it may be possible for the more technically minded to carve out a small niche in the hellscape.

Most Android apps can be run under a mini-VM in the Linux systems I’ve tried - but some apps won’t function well that way (banking, NFC tickets, etc)

(non-Android) Linux phones aren’t really ready for daily driving even for relatively advanced users - but it looks like we’re gonna have to deal with it anyhow

Hell yeah

Whichever interests you more. Flip a coin and when it’s in the air ask yourself which you’re hoping it lands on, pick that and ignore the result.

One will help you learn the other eventually though. It’s a very long process to learn a language though so take it one at a time.

Never, thanks for the shout

I doubt it’s possible to have them all installed and have a functioning system anyway

By nature of federation it really trains on basically all Lemmy data

I doubt the stuff was human-picked

You’re good. If you like your setup please don’t feel like you need to change. Ubuntu will serve you just fine.

Now if you just like tinkering or configuring…

The main drawback of Ubuntu is mainly that people don’t like Canonical, the company behind it. They can be very opinionated in their decisions. Also many prefer rolling-release distros (like Arch, or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) where you get much quicker software updates over Ubuntu and other traditional distros.
