So do developers on Steam, you literally have a filter for free games. While also having user reviews, forums, a sane refund policy, regional pricing, curators, funding Linux driver development, as well as a shopping cart (though I heard Epic Store finally put enough braincells together to get that one too).

The Epic Store has always been anti-consumer so it’s no surprise he defends that kind of practice.

What about bitchat? It uses a local bluetooth mesh, no server required and you can install the apk directly from their site.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the same thing, and even if they cut off their services, so long as the phone can be degoogled and replacements installed I wouldn’t really care.

Banking apps could be the only problem I foresee, but then I guess I’ll just go back to debit and credit cards.

Also, if someone releases a working Linux phone with some extra polish that has actual global distribution that would also be a good option for me.

Both the Omarchy shilling and these attempts at smearing a lot of people with the least charitable interpretation possible of their words and actions feel incredibly artificial, so I’m going to do what is best for me and ignore both.

Well, one is a GPU like this one that only has 2D support and it’s apparently perpetually stuck as experimental. The second one is a trackpad / numpad combo that someone else got working but because the code never got upstreamed it broke. The last one is an internal microphone that might have support in the kernel but it might be missing quirk flags or a small change in how it works.

I admire people like this because even though there’s like 3 pieces of hardware I wish I could fix like this, I’ve got no clue where to start. And except for one, most are simpler devices than the M1 GPU.

Did they include AI slop, dogshit mobile game ports, low effort games, and the like in the dataset? If so, I’m not surprised.
