Pretty excited about this myself; currently using GrapheneOS on Pixel 6 as a daily driver and Arch on my Pinephone.

Battery life sucks on Pinephone and the camera is unsuitable for social media, but it's sturdy, affordable, and mine is still going strong after being left in a storage unit for a year, extreme temperature variations, and being bumped, dropped, forgotten about, and rediscovered repeatedly since '21.

Breaking Free from Abusive Software Relationships

Wouldn’t it be something to see this rolled out to people working on free (as in freedom) technology for the common good so we didn’t have to bake in ways of surviving under the current capitalist system into the tech we’re designing just so we can pay the “cost of living?”

“Sustainable” under capitalism has a very different meaning – it means making a profit (even if you’re a not-for-profit) whereas “sustainable” in general has no such connotation.

Emeritus Prof Christopher May (@[email protected])

Meanwhile in Ireland, a cultural Basic Income (focussed on artists) has moved from pilot to sustained policy, with the confirmation of an ongoing programme of awarding 2,000 artists €18k per annum. Interestingly the cost of the programme was less than the benefits to the Irish economy, and the artists in receipt of funds were able to switch earnings from non-art activities to work related to their art practice. A more general lesson here for UBI? #UBI #workers https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/ireland-basic-income-artists-program-permanent-1234756981/
