  • If we wish to change the status quo yet ignore the ones actively challenging it, what are we left with? I can almost guarantee you that a Canonical-produced phone would certainly progress mobile Linux but would not be released as OSHW.

    And it sucks last I heard.

    I've been using one as my daily-driver since March 2023. It's not a phone for everyone; I wouldn't recommend it to my parents, but it doesn't suck as long as you are not expecting feature parity with flagship proprietary options in a trillion-dollar market. Bugs get squashed over time, and there is power in numbers. Even the iPhone started out somewhere.

    And the hardware is very outdated.

    I'm sure that Purism would appreciate ideas you may have for an OSHW/FOSS-friendly processor unencumbered by NDA, that's well-documented, has long-term market availability, doesn't take half the real estate of the L5's PCB, would allow more than 2 hr of runtime, that...... you get the idea. Available processor options are limited if the device should be even remotely open. Spinning one from scratch is prohibitively expensive.

  • Just a single sliver of indirectly-related memory-paraphrased context which may hopefully be helpful:

    I worked for the U.S. government from 2010-2018. In my new-hire handbook, government employees and contractors were directed to not portray a political alignment while working in an official capacity (say, while wearing a uniform or other identifying clothing, while using a government vehicle, etc) regardless of political party. We were allowed normal civilian rights if presenting as a civilian. Some form of administrative action was mentioned if this rule was broken, presumably up to and including termination of employment.

  • Man decides to keep box of cables he’s had since 2002 for another year

    Jump

  • There's a myriad of reasons to retain a healthy variety of outdated cables, but the most important for me has been ones to make digital archives. You probably have some hardware laying around in your attic somewhere and, someday, you may wish you had archives of your content. If you don't, you probably know someone who does.

    Old tech like this is something that would be nice for your local library to keep stock of. I've been to libraries in the past that had a section carved out as a "library of things," where you could rent odds and ends like sewing machines, non-consumable art supplies, and even assorted computer equipment. If your local library doesn't have something like this, maybe you could propose that they start one and perhaps donate some equipment to help them get started!

  • This issue always baffles me.

    The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there's never any drama. Have to poop? Don't even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.

  • I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate

    Jump

  • Unpopular opinion: profanity is massively overhyped and people that excessively swear tend to irk me. There are so many ways to passionately express emotion, at least in the English language, yet so many are fascinated with only a few. The word "fuck" in particular loses all gravitas after hearing it 150 times a day for most of my life. I've had to stop watching certain shows because swearing felt so excessively forced to perhaps come across as edgy, and it broke all immersion for me.
