i don’t share the assumption that LineageOS doesn’t run on any phone, welp

last i checked it runs on phones from every brand ever

okay some pajamas then. sunlight shining in your face, hands and feet is adequate too

just takes longer ime

try sleeping without curtains and letting sunshine onto your skin

don’t force your eyes open. don’t force your body to move.

let sunshine awaken you in the morning. literally activates mitochondrias, which travel around the body to wake up all. sleep naked therefore

says everything about iPhones ‘security’ & ‘privacy’

repeats it

i wonder where the cross-examination of deaths of tattooed people compared to non-tattooed people are

surely those are made

and we can just check causes of death checking out with immune system issues

learn magic tricks. walk up to someone with an unsuspecting stance but a glimmer in your eye: they either look or ignore.

move your arms gently yet dramatically in large motions to bring attention to your hands being held comfortably at a distance from your chest.

perform the magic trick.

smile.

you are now connected to a conversatinal partner.

not american but wondering which good politicians you have

Summer Lee in the democrats seems awesome

indeed! even neat stuff with the “stable volume”/AI post-processing i say

idk thats fallacious assumption of knowledge and generalizing i feel uneasy to let go unchecked.

most people talk to are intimidated and confused about mobile operating systems. by your assuredness i assume you use Linux and are cynically pragmatic about “non-tech savvy users who are fucked anyway” /my bias speaking

imho a video of a phone teardown to physically remove front camera & microphones & what else the person don’t feel a want or need for together with the overview that shows the beginning-to-end of the brief process assures people they can take the plunge into governing their own digital tools.

you’re not the state, just a person online, so not aimed at you, but i find others deserving of positive encouragement. leaving the door open and lights on to people wondering if GrapheneOS & a Pixelphone is the silverbullet or if stock android is as good as LineageOS (edit: yes, even on the phone held in their hand right now, or found about to be sold for 20$.)

people keep bringing up buying a new phone for thousands of non-dollar currencies. . .

consider this: pick a trashed phone out of the literal trash and 2nd hands around high-income households, look at ‘teardown’ videos like me, use a screwdriver to unscrew fromtcamera & whichever other component (Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, gyroscope, …) & install LineageOS.

ah shite! =(

you and all lurkers are welcome =)

wouldn’t be motivated to divulge anything without ya asking or bringing it up

i find i overcame the fear after rewriting the how-to on lineage os’s site. it is shite, seriously fifty “steps” to do something that takes 3

edit: i am recalling downloading the OS and the “bootstrap OS” (think of mobile-computers as having two OS:s. in the case of every thing good ever i use TWRP as the bootstrap OS as it is the facto and free libre open-source. each OS on a mobile-computer is coded to fit that mobile-computer, so in a sense it is stepping back to the time before the PC and undoing the case for portability. like undoing GNU/Linux. which runs on any PC. the bootstrap OS TWRP is uniquely programmed for each mobile-computer. as is the OS LineageOS. think of it like an ignition motor and a car engine. you need both to be fitted to the (mobile computer.) that all typed out: so i download both for that specific brand/series/model/variation and that’s done. seems overly complicated because it is unusual for us who otherwise just install the same Linux on any computer we have.

no worry about bricking if you flash wrong OS version. you reflash and don’t read what the fearmongerers type online. the mobile distro community ar worse than the bad parts of Windows & Arch followers combined: lots of l33t h4ck3r5 without substantial claims to what they’re frightening you about or suggesting you do (“it just works trust me bro”) and elitism about which opinion is the best opinion to hold. like “oh, you use That? idk anything about that but use this one it never failed me =)” links to a google drive with a proprietary file they just asked you to install based on Trust Me Bro.

so anyways TWRP and LineageOS stands out as the most organizational or institutional in that uh digital landscape oe whatchamacallit.

second is to enter the phone’s BIOS into a “flashing mode” to install the bootstrap OS TWRP. next you restart and directly boot into the bootstrap OS TWRP - shittified as mobile-computers are the BIOS will delete TWRP and reinstall the factory default bootstrap OS if we start the main stock Android OS… inside TWRP the OS LineageOS is installed. once this is done the main OS will keep the bootstrap OS.

that was all the steps. done.

1. download TWRP & LineageOS to your Linux distro. turn off your phone, connect it to your computer.

2. turn to your phone and boot it into flash mode, turn to your computer to have it send TWRP across the wire: this is installing TWRP.

3. turn to your phone and boot it into TWRP, inside you have an install mode that mimics the BIOS’ flash mode. turn to your computer to have it send LineageOS across the wire: this is installing LineageOS.

programs required on your Linux distro: ADB (Android Debug Bridge). period. you use ADB to verify if your connected phone is picked up by ADB by using a command to list all devices found by adb. i take this as a given troubleshooting step after rebooting my phone for the first time. into flash mode. it is assumed to be all good while rebooting the second time. (into TWRP.) by te third reboot the phone it’s already done so no need to verify ADB picks up the phone.

depending on brand you can require a program for flashing the bootstrap OS & main OS. Samsung brand phones require a program called heimdall to send TWRP & LineageOS since doing it by ADB is - thanks enshittification - made tedius to do by hand. think of heimdall as an automation script for using ADB on specifically Samsung phones.

ask for more experience. remember this is daunting because people are scaremongers and you are missing out on something child’s play simple.

praise be

just install LineageOS or but a fairphone or vollaphone or shiftphone or furyphone with it preinstalled. or get a linux handheld device like the comet or pinephone or precursor et al

there is no using exploitative tech without financially running off a cliff. sooner you change the better

i adore deltachat and arcane chat

p2p im:s like cwtch and jami come to mind

they know and are too arrogant. money to buy an AC won’t save them nor will whatever hope of nationalists in EU governments for climate change to hit “enemies” help these countries in europe.

sure! trying it right now. it is snappier and a consistent amount of input delayed (somewhere below half a second afaict)

so it’s systemic and needs cultural activism at grassroots level to truly change the landscape?

i suppose death of such people only inspire such grassroots change after all, not actually changes as much by itself- like directly.
