@johan_m_o jag tror det menas "nedsippringsteorin", alltså ju mer man gynnar miljardärerna desto bättre för fattigt folk, för miljardärerna är de som driver allting och skapar det välstånd som sedan sipprar ner till de fattiga, så att de inte behöver vara fattiga längre.

What I hate the most about the leftist side of the fedi, especially the EU types is the extreme anti-American sentiment, and I'm not talking about hatred for America as a country or the American government. I'm talking about hatred for American people in general.
They just assume that just because we live here that we support all American policy. They think that we automatically support the Israeli invasion of Gaza (despite the fact that even most US republicans are less supportive of Israel) or whatever human-rights violation the US government is participating. Or if you are not indigenous, then they shit on you just for being born on stolen land.
>Oh but you voted these people in that means you are all for it
It should be obvious that voting doesn't work here anymore (or maybe it never did). And even if it did, that doesn't mean that we support everything the government does.
You can hate on America all you want, but please don't hate on the people.
@vardagsteknik jag tror det är en liten typo i din profil här på mastodon, det står "Vardagsteknik fokuserar huvudsakliga på" -- borde det stå "huvudsakligen" där?
@vardagsteknik kanske prata med Redpill Linpro:

Här är mina slides från i förrgår om sånt, hade med lite om varför företag bör andända öppen källkod: https://eliasrudberg.se/foss-lecture-may2025.pdf
@phersinger kursen hette "software engineering" och det var studenter i slutet av sitt andra år i utbildningen, deras utbildningsprogram heter något i stil med datavetenskap eller systemutveckling tror jag. Har inte riktigt koll på det, tur att jag inte är kursansvarig 😃 🙃

the difference is that people find all kinds of excuses if it's android or whatever made by the big players. if an os is made by someone different it suddenly has to be perfect or is "not ready".
example: the youtube app on android frequently gets into a state where one just can't use the search button anymore. it's there but nothing happens. one has to restart the app.
it's digital stockholm syndrome.
if not t least half of the major services were shit data silos using something like sailfish os (i know, it's not perfectly free) would be no problem. everything native works and has better UI/UX than android. it's the web of shit and hardware manufacturers that make things hard.
@nemorosa I was thinking that if you want to describe a place but you have not been there, then maybe your dream of it would be the next best thing 🙂
@nemorosa maybe you had a dream about it, then you could describe the dream? 🙂

There are devices having these issues but there are others that don't so I'd rather not throw everything into one bucket.
I find it more straight forward to talk about limitations than telling people that something isn't "for them yet" as that leaves people in jeopardy for longer and might just underestimate their abilities.
If people don't know something exists they can't even try it.

True DeGoogling means removing Android period.
To me Android is also everything that derives from AOSP, that originates from Google ...
You can't say you're free while you are in the middle of the bridge (because if bridge falls you're dead)

@justsoup @Sturmflut @MuhammadFreeSoftware @eliasr @Tutanota There's also #UbuntuTouch and #SailfishOS as additional alternatives.

@MuhammadFreeSoftware @eliasr @Tutanota Please speak for yourself. Lots of us are daily driving #linuxmobile on our devices.
@MuhammadFreeSoftware @Tutanota I think it's appropriate to mention true alternatives, instead of pretending that there are none. They work fine, I use them every day. But of course I am not "normal" according to you. 🙂
I think many "normal" people would be interested in alternatives that are not based on Google's Android, if they knew about them.
GrapheneOS is on the list, even though as far as I understand it GrapheneOS can only run on Google Pixel devices. Is that really degoogling?
Discovered a new beautiful mastodon instance: snabelen.no ! https://snabelen.no/
"Snabel" means the trunk of an elephant, or in this case of a mastodon, I suppose. It's the same word in Swedish but somehow when you pronounce anything in Norwegian it suddenly becomes funny 😄
> no first class citizen Linux Mobile device
The phosh page here https://phosh.mobi/about/ explains that phosh was initiated by #Purism for the Librem 5 phone, so I think #Librem5 should be seen as a first class citizen Linux Mobile device. They do exist! 🙂
@Tutanota great stuff, but I'd like to see also some real Android alternatives listed, I mean there are also mobile operating systems that are not based on Android. See #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux @linmob #mobian #postmarketOS #pureos #phosh #UbuntuTouch @phosh and so on.
Yesterday I was giving a guest lecture about Free and open-source software at Karlstad university. Here are the slides (mostly in Swedish) if anyone wants to look, or to use them for something: https://eliasrudberg.se/foss-lecture-may2025.pdf
@b0rk I think there is a need for an option somewhere between "no idea what it is" and "somewhat confident", becuase it's the kind of thing that someone might know perfectly well what it is and for that very reason have zero confidence in it 🤣
