I am so digging this!

OP bringin’ out good memes, this run

Thinkpads – a laptop with a rich history of Linux use – can be bought with an integrated 4090. The ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 can be configured with an i9, plenty of flexibility for drive space and RAM, and an RTX 4090. It’ll run you, even used, around $3k to $4k, which is the equivalent of a desktop replacement. But it’ll be pretty doggone compatible with any Linux distro you’d like.

Donated! Glad you are branching out, doing something to spur you on, and working to keep yourself encouraged.

Use the user profiles feature of grapheneos to make a “social” profile and only use that to access Instagram / facebook.

You’ll want to consider isolating IG from your primary profile, to start. The above user’s suggestion hits the nail on the head.

Once the profile ks created, and you’ve installed IG, you’ll want to deselect the option in your Manage Profiles settings on GrapheneOS to ‘Allow running in the backgroud.’ This way, you can ensure the app is entirely stopped until you want it open.

Another consideration may be to turn off your Bluetooth when it’s not in use, as well: BT emits an ‘address’ of sorts that, if another IG user has enabled BT access on their IG app, may be able to detect your phone and track a conversation knowing you are in the other user’s vicinity.

Is IG on a completely different profile in GrapheneOS, or is the app installed on the primary profile where you use your other apps? GrapheneOS’s profiles completely isolate from one another.

Woohoo!

+1 for StandardNotes. It’s been a wonderful product.

TL;DR use FF

Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.

Nice

I would highly consider leveraging the AsteroidOS project – a privacy-focused linux smart watch effort – on one of their approved devices. That link should bring you straight to the watches they support.

Pine Time works well with Pine Phone, but only has basic functionality with other Android devices, like notifications. Not much else last I looked, but I may be out of sync with the community’s development efforts.

The Bangle.js 2 smart watch is another open source device you could look into.

Dumb error messages like that have to do with the UI and UX. The user interface (UI) in APT has mostly to do with how easily users see, recognize, and understand descriptions of errors (that is, how text appears and is organized), and the user experience (UX) in APT has to do with how easily users can, say, follow-up, within the tool, to resolve those errors.

An example of a better UI in APT could be grouping to-be installed packages with clear linebreaks and color, or highlighting how much space is to be used by bolding it. All good stuff that isn’t gonna kill my eyes when I have to scroll around to find what was / wasn’t installed properly.

And that scrolling around is all about the UX. An example of a better UX could be installation bars rather than percentages to keep the screen from scrolling past errors too quickly, affordances for users to make decisions within APT to resolve dependency issues without it dropping back into the terminal (again, dumb error messages), or providing help within the interface without having to back out to the terminal and use APT with an operator.

I think it would be great to keep those error messages you mention, like, front-and-center, even after an operation has wrapped up. Who wants hunt/grep through a full log?

It’s Linux-based hardware, so any OS could be installed easily if PureOS isn’t a good fit for OP. And, unlike the phone, it’s basically a computer, like one of their laptops (which have been fine).

If we are talking about Pinephone, Fairphone, Librem 5, etc. – they all suffer uniquely. Modems drop on all these devices often enough, battery life sucks based on tasks, app support is sundry, screens are left wanting, and more. Phones are hard to make.

I might class Linux-based hardware phones differently from Linux-based hardware tablets.

Maybe against the grain, here, with all the comments saying No, but: If you were interested in trying something out, I would give Hypatia a go. It’s a FOSS-based app, available on F-droid. It’s basically a ClamAV front-end. Pulls from their signature lists for Android, alongside other more general AV signature lists. Just an option.

LibreTranslate has a FF addon:

Likewise, I think FF has (or will have?) a native capability to translate, as well:

Soulseek introduced me to so much new music! It was also the first software I had encountered that would randomize its port on connect – or at least let you customize it – to avoid firewalls.
