I guess I had some inchoate expectation that he’d be more influential. Sunak’s just turned him into a hypocrite.

Yes, I can understand that, but he’s been a lead voice on the environment a lot longer than most. I guess he’s swapped his beliefs & scruples for the trappings of monarchy, and that diminishes him rather than elivates him in my eyes.
Yes. But why remain as an impotent king?
Oops Dissolved
He ought to have sparked a constitutional crisis and refused to say it. Then he should have devolved the government.
OnionShare is available for Android.

Is there a fork of MuseScore too (the same devs, I think)?
Buying a used phone does save resources and stops potential e-waste though.
Plus with an older phone there’s more likelihood that an alternative OS is available.
67% of phones are made in China.* Many for Western companies. Using parts and materials sourced from around the world.
I guess it depends on what operating system you decide to use…
(There’s also Shift who make a similar product : https://www.shiftphones.com/en/)
FWIW I’m still very much an advocate of the Mark Shuttleworth Convergence vision. It’s the Holy Grail that makes sense to me.
I read recently that RPiOS has a Micro$oft key pre-installed (so that your RPi phones home to Microsoft)… It totally puts me off what is an excellent lightweight OS.

I think UBPorts’ calendar is excellent… I don’t think it’s generally available as a standalone Linux app though, sadly.
Lovely idea
Give it to someone with a greater need than you?
There’s a community effort, porting KDE: https://liliputing.com/pinetab-v-tablet-with-a-risc-v-chip-gets-community-supported-software-builds-including-kde-plasma-desktop/
What are your predictions on consumer hardware for the next decade in relation to RISC-V?
I had 2023 marked as the Year of the RISC-V SBC. But I think it’s more than that : with the Lichee Pi coming with Debian pre-installed, and looking stable, RISC-V is on the verge of consumer-grade hardware. There are other devices from Sipeed, Pine64 and others too, of course, including laptops and tablets.
I think the real watershed will come in 2025/26 though. It’s widely predicted that more powerful RISC-V processors will be ready by then.
We know that some Chinese tech organisations are working tirelessly on RISC-V, and I think we can expect to see them really pushing the technology. But Qualcomm, Broadcom, NXP etc. are going for it too. Qualcomm (feat. Nuvia) have real design prowess, and also have every reason to go RISC-V.
I’d support constitutional reform.
