Oh they can enforce it just fine. Some guy in UK tried 3D printing a gun and saw what's what, granted he called support which is stupid as hell, but everyone has a non-zero chance of slipping up. And once you do, I hope you don't have unfinished business outside. Impracticality of enforcement only becomes an issue if it's ridiculously widespread, which this is not.
Given that your phone will see far more active use and will have to be connected to some kind of network, the chances of it getting detected and landing you in trouble is quite high. You have a better chance with getting out of there if possible or getting rid of your smartphone if not.
On a side tangen I don't buy into the "anyone can build a gun" argument anyway. You have to make a frame, barrel, blackpowder, cast lead... it's a long hard process that will result in an underpowered / impractical gun or most likely both, something 99% of people won't bother ever bother with due to the sheer friction involved if nothing else. That argument holds weight with knives (sharp stuff in general), sheperd's slings, maybe a brass knuckle even but not really with guns.
I give up on having that thing. I'm unemployed, I don't have any income at all. When I have a well paying job though I'd rather just pay, there are a lot of people I would like to support.
I think an evergreen 8 bit system can be great for gaming an a tight budget. But whater this system will appeal to enough people to justify indefinite support or if the team is even capable of delivering this product remains to be seen.
Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna's Archive itself is a search engine, it's better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.
It took over twenty years just for Linux to enter the conversation at the enthusiast level, it took a lot, and I do mean a lot, of enshittification on Microsoft's part and decades of campaigning by free software ideologues for us to get to this point, and if Windows still worked like Windows 7 we still wouldn't be anywhere close.
OpenBSD is super niche relative to FreeBSD, which is super niche relative to Linux. I don't even know if it was built for desktop use, or if it happens to be usable as one thanks to Linux DEs being compatible so long as they don't heavily depend on Linux specific stuff. Though I guess it can be a desktop OS in the most conservative sense of that term even without all that stuff.
Ubuntu had issues with it's snap store as well. I think there will be more security oriented distros in the future like Kodachi, but it's best to be cautious in general these days.
Not for long, Linux will get targeted like this as it becomes more popular. It's more of an argument for OpenBSD if anything, since OpenBSD will never be popular on desktop and it's developers take security very seriously.
I try to degoogle the best I can. When I was shopping for a new phone I went with Xiaomi because those phones used to be famous for their community support, but it seems like those days have passed. Once I discovered that I looked for alternatives that are available where I live and saw they weren't any better, so I went with Xiaomi anyway.
Until I manage to move to EU and buy a Fairphone using a private, open source smartphone OS won't be possible.
