Yes BB seems to be the closest option but in order to unlock it’s bootloader you also need to authorize on some manufacturer’s site which is (to my understanding) a concern in the “consumer’s right to repair” way - if I can’t upgrade a system after its support ends the phone becomes e-waste, and giving your phone number, name, email address to the Chinese government is at least questionable from privacy standpoint. I could be exaggerating though

Exectly my thoughts recently! My smartphone is starting to show some problems with its screen and it’s a Xiaomi device which makes it very hard/unpleasant to get root access to reinstall the OS (you have to download a windows app and use it to share your data and reasons for voiding your contract by asking to get root access) so I thought maybe there are non-touchscreen smartphones and when I tried looking for one I only got dumb phone suggestions and I realized that such a phone would have to have a specific version of Android that is not designed around touchscreen technology. I’m not sure what I want, but the options seem to be polar extremes without a middle ground option, something between a smartphone and a dumbphone that will be helpful in detoxifying from doom scrolling and yet still usable for productive activities.

I really hope that in the near future we’ll see some change in the direction towards smartphones that are not made only for watching videos, playing games, but to some combinations of useful ideas from both dumb and smartphones, like having a decent screen to be able to use maps and with also a “mechanical” keyboard or smth. But then again physical keys will have problems like if they would be made from cheap plastic, there always will be downsides…

Wow turns out there already is one: c/discordianism

Wait guys there is already a community and I even was a member already: c/discordianism (sorry don’t know how to find a community link on voyager mobile, just use search)

I have sent my telekinetic powers across the noösphere, now we wait until a brave soul actually starts doing it because I have no idea how to create and maintain instances either but maybe I’ll look into it

It’s like descartian but with a twist

I remember facebook had a really nice Discordian group, but people there were mostly older and I don’t think they would consider moving to an alternative platform or if they are moslty even aware of fediverse, but by my papal decree I shall announce a new instance devoted to our Lady

So tor is compromised?

Bodhi linux is ubuntu/debian based (but no snaps out of the box) and is good for older hardware both because it is lightweight and because it has support for 32 bit architecture, but it comes bundled with chromium not firefox, but you can easily install ff (or even better librewolf) and remove chromium.

Also there are bsds - I don’t know about Bottles and Inkscape but you might be interrested to try out NomadBSD which is for USB boot but can also be installed on hardware, it is freebsd based and comes bundled with FireFox+UBlockOrigin (altho it’s an older version you’ll need to update the packages)

You mean electricity bills for powering the storage? I guess buying 100pb worth of storage disks would be pretty expensive enough but since it’s an archive there is no need to keep it powered 24/7, just turn them on only when you need to. It’s just a hypothetical situation anyway, it’s a thing I wish to have access to; only an experienced sysadmin can actually maintain such great archive or its copy/backup

If you’d download the whole wikipedia be sure to download the whole commets section for each article to have a perspective on discussions on conflicting reasons for edits. Also include all the wiki media materials for all of the public domain literature, project gutenberg, entire archive.org, a good offline OS to be able to consume all of the information and you’re golden

They are referring to the original software and protocol of Soulseek not the slskd one in the link, no?
