Coming from someone at the helm of a new reactionary movement, that's pretty tasty!

to edit CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT all night long
When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?
(i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)
for sms+calls to work much much there i a little bit of very easy work: to install the "modem distro" instead of the original OS running the modem chip. yes it means you can ssh into your modem and edit its crontab also...:)
Sorry if i am late to that party, but i have been daily-driving a pinephone for 4+ years now. 1/ It's not for the faint of heart. it is work. serious admin work. 2/ i chose a hard line of PostMarketOS edge (equiv of debian "unstable" updated continuously) and sxmo (a lovely, experimental interface, fully hackable, lightweight etc.) 3/ most of the shortcomings described by people who tried it only or expected a lot from it are related to comparing it to android or ios. it's a mistake i think. it should be treated as its own thing, with no expectations, and most of the shortcomings can be fixed by adaptation and custom work.. for me: most tasks via CLI (mail, matrix, mastodon, etc.) and lightweight browser, combined with lightweight interface (sxmo) considerably extend battery life. in suspend i get 48h (which is more than most android phones i used before) and with moderat use it lasts way over 24h for me.
I would totally recommend it IF you value computing freedom, autonomy and taking back control of your communication infrastructure and data more than an ideal of "comfort" or standardized streamlined processes modeled after the ones that put everyone in the hands of big US corporations (aka "user-friendly" lol)
Also that feeling that whatever tiny bit you may invent, fix or hack for yourself, can be put back into a wild community of avid trailblazing hackers is invaluable. Yes it's all work, but it's work for you and other people who value freedom. not work for Google and such...
Let's start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!
Retrospectively, wasn't a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?
were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?
yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)
"porte" in French means a door.
Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned... some of them can be opened and lead to something... (a service)
don't use it if you're flying a plane, though!
