Yes it does.

Cyberdecks are 1) pocketable 2) computing devices 3) often wireless, and 4) run Linux.

That’s what people want from phones, so I figured it was a valid contribution to the discussion.

I guess not…

Are there any Linux mobile OSs that do not use a compatibility layer with Android underneath it?

I tried Ubuntu Touch a couple of years ago and couldn’t get mobile data working with UK provider but apart from that it was very cool.

There are already some very cool-looking Linux cyberdecks.

I’ve been using YUNOhost for the last 3 years and it’s been great. I had no prior experience and would have had no chance of self-hosting without it.

Plus one for Star Labs. I have one of their laptops and it’s a really nice bit of kit.

YUNOhost FTW!

I would never have gotten into self-hosting without it.

You’ll just get used to it over time. Think of it as spatial rather than numeric.

It’s actually easier on the brain in my opinion.

I think this is cool and will make it easier for the average person to move away from the big tech providers that do the most damage to privacy.

Libreoffice is rad and I use it all the time.

Crazy. DDoS attacks are illegal here in the UK.

Thanks for your work on both!

What is Intel Microcode anyway? Been bugging me for ages seeing it reported for violating vrms.

I think the original wasn’t getting maintained properly or something. There was a big conversation about it a couple of months ago on one of the open source communities here if you want to search for it. Nothing shady iirc.

It’s great. It’s the most “just works” experience I’ve had with Linux.

If you’re struggling with your windows plugins I highly recommend checking out kxstudio for native Linux ones. There are excellent plugins for audio production on linux. I also recommend using Ardour as your DAW.

Thanks :) I’m happy to chat to any musicians who read this and are curious about alternative release options.

These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom.

That’s exactly what they are and exactly what they do.

I don’t have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments and just wanted to say that I’m 100% with you.

I have a similar conversation with other musicians I know and it’s the reason that I (and many others) won’t release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

I hope you find something and keep standing up for what’s right!

Jami ftw 💪
