Many years ago I spent some time playing with running a graphical interface from chrooted Debian userspace on a jailbroken 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite. I posted a video that showed it and called it "Debian on Kindle Paperwhite". Some tech media had then picked it up and reported on Debian running on Kindle.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault. All those people calling Halium devices "real Linux phones" are just my karma coming back 😭

🤣

It's ok, we all make mistakes. The hardest part is often admitting it.

@dos Now that we know who made the mistake:

Can we please start talking again about the degree of control we have through all the stack until data actually leaves our devices?

Adding it explicitly: this includes imho hardware and firmware.
