It's going to become a tech channel in a year reporting on opensource news. Hopefully on peertube.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Hell yeah please consider covering all the different mobile operating systems.
It’s always a bit funny to me when people make these videos on YouTube (since it’s owned by Google).
Degoogling in my book involves blocking all their domains and/or IP addresses at the network level rendering websites like YouTube inoperable.
Oh, wow. Guess it was a matter of time after he switched to Linux 😏
But I also still have much to learn before I can properly selfhost. For stuff I want anyone else to access, I've just put individual services on its own VPS... Probably a personal VPN, wireguard or tailscale is the choice if I want to think about selfhosting.
He made a video. About de-Googling. On Google's video platform.
Irony is dead.
Literally 20 seconds into the video he addresses it. 20 seconds.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
I wonder if he was thinking about Peertube in that moment.
He can’t monetise on PeerTube. He will be able to get sponsors, but YouTube revenue will dry up.
Of course he can, he can have a link to patreon for donations or even employ somebody to add a donation feature to his peertube instance. Monetisation =/= ads.
Didn't Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices
Yes, as the pixel hardware is ironically secure.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they're trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)
In the video he said he already had a pixel so it was a natural step for him.
Makes sense to me, especially since I'm in the same boat. I'm looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on
Sailfish does have the prettiest ux and is very secure.
Yeah. Got any suggestions about hardware? I'm thinking of a PinephonePro. It's not the beefiest or better hardware but should be enough to get a feel for things and tinker around
It’s hard to answer as I haven’t figured out which model is the best for Canada’s market as the Fairphone isn’t sold here.
Though I wouldn’t suggest the PinephonePro as the hardware is very slow.

Damn. I remember looking at the Jolla once and forgot about it. Hardware seems good but I do see reports of issues with the local providers (Canada) and unfortunately it doesn't look like they ship here either. Too bad as a Euro designed+built phone sounds great.
I wish irony was lethal.
