@rebel_luddite I agree. I only use distros where the free and nonfree repos are seperate just incase I need to install nonfree apps. The only distro Ive used that doesnt have google as the default search engine is postmarketos. Theyve created a firefox config installable (and if the user chooses uninstallable) via the package manager:
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox
I just have to go through and add that package to all my favorite distros...

The update was a bit rough, did stumble into some compile issues, but we should be up and running again. Sorry for the inconvenience - we are now at latest pleroma
@amolith I actually use this workflow and wrote a blog post about it!

@detondev I think talking about how often people in the industrialized world buy phones and how much is in landfills would an interesting topic.
ie. Planned obsolescence on the part of phone manufacturers (unrepairability, no security updates, firmware that prevents replacing screens, batteries that cant be replaced etc.)
Full disclosure - I love postmarketos and theyre trying to make phones have a 10 year lifespan and thats part of the reason I got involved in the project.

Daily reminder that hanging out in irc/xmpp channels for your favorite free software projects and helping new users is a great way to contribute to free software.
@polarisfm This is such a cool sticker. Might put one on my corebooted x230 =D
@polarisfm @resynth1943 If amd dropped their psp. I would become a full blown simp for them.
@amolith diode.zone often has some pretty good content and afaik follows your rules.
Just switched from archlinux to openrc devuan on my main workstation and it's surprisingly really good!
@jbauer I ran matrix synapse for 3 months and it was such a headache. Just making your software free software and allowing federation is not enough to avoid centralization. You need to make sure self-hosters are able to setup a server easily and cheaply.
I think 404.city estimated synapse costed 1$ per device:

Ive been waiting for a good matrix server implementation for 4 years now and I think it wont be here anytime soon.

@werwolf Welcome! Try to send a toot with ":arch:" or ":void:". It should autocomplete with other distros. You can add those distros to your name :)
Still thinking about that time my engineering prof was like "Ya, so this is a really nice signal. The signal to noise ratio is very good. No one will complain about this. Well, some people with sensitive ears might complain. Or should I say - people who think they have sensitive ears might complain"
@polarisfm This would be really cool! If I can add some suggestions:
- Show how to make your current laptops, desktops, etc. more freedom respecting (repairing and changing parts)
- Please post on a freedom respecting platform as well - ie. peertube.
