@justine

All of your choises mentioned above are the RIGHT steps to opt-out from the data monsters!

Graphene is the best option, in 2027 Motorola will launch a new device compatible with GOS! Whilst you're stepping away by flashing GrapheneOS, you currently still need to buy a Google device, hence supporting satan!

If you like #IodeOS I want to recommend the SHIFTphone 8.1 designed by #novacustom I personally met the team at Fossdem and the device is really slick.

The AI 8 all our Memory Chips!
***Global Memory and Storage Shortage***

Did you recently rediscover how slow electro-mechanical HDDs are?

Do you now wait eons to compile?

Do you carry around some of the few remaining solid states worth their weight in precious gold?

Recommendations:
* Kicksecure (RO) for default-mgmt-dvm & clockvm to protect salt functions like update > timedatectl show > qubes-prefs
* Development of highly isolated templates with tor transport an onion by default
* purge ALL lxqt! (xTerm works)
* If your wallpaper has someone else's name on it, then
certain somebodies shouldn't have gotten to Dom in the first place

AI is dominating the world’s memory chips. That could make phones more expensive

As chipmakers rush to serve AI data centers, consumer electronics are left in short supply.

Introduction of fwupd support + Capsule Updates - NovaCustom

For easy installation of firmware updates. Firmware updates were unnecessarily complex for a long time. They required manual command line steps, were error-prone, and carried a real risk of “bricking.” In addition, updates often depended on specific BIOS settings. If something was wrong, an update could fail. This not only caused frustration for users, but ... Read more

Any operating system that comes with a subscription model stay clear of those things!

To add to the conversation, Prusim is not walking a straight path what comes to custumor care but nothing major.

My 2 recommendations would be:

The #novacustom Shiftphone 8.1, they run on #IodeOS with harware removal options or physical killswitches.

With my #NovaCustom I now have the most diskspace that I've ever had in 2 pieces in my life (2x 4TB). B/c the computer remains usable under heavy load (as long as I don't mind the fan at max & the old-school crunch of spinning disks), I'm consolidating a stack of old hard drives.

Welp, I filled 4TB overnight. I cleared about 200GB, but df still says this:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/md1_crypt 3.6T 3.5T 0 100% /spare

Rounding error for big disks?

@neal Ugh, everything is compatible and nothing is. I have returned more peripheral related hardware than I've kept since getting the #NovaCustom laptop.
Bradley M. KühnDec 24

@sortova Thanks! That's a very comprehensive post about the #Framework laptop and convinces me for sure that I made the right decision to chose #NovaCustom over Framework.

I sent an email to the blog's author to thank them as they don't seem to be on Fediverse.

I really appreciate all the help you all have given me in the minor things here and there with my #NovaCustom laptop.

I have one last strange problem: every day or so, all the keyboards just stop working. Pointing devices mostly still work (although some oddities). I thought maybe it was some modal dialog. or something. Get this: *hibernating* and returning from hibernate fixes it. Come back up and keyboard works again!
