With #GrapheneOS announcing support for presumably more smartphones by #Motorola starting with with 2027 models, I can finally dream of getting a clamshell flip phone that combines good HW, a nice OS with a small form factor: #RazrUltra! 🎉🕺

However, with Google's new #desktopmode rolling out these days, it might probably worth to think about large folding phones like #RazrFold which might double as a notebook replacement using a BT keyboard & optional USB-C monitor connection. 🤔 It comes with more weight, size & a higher price tag. 🫣

My #Pixel8 will last a few more years anyway. It's more likely that the #OnePlus5 of my wife finally kicks the bucket so that she'll get the Pixel while I buy a Motorola.

Would you accept the downsides of the larger #Fold in order to replace your personal notebook? Would you be able to replace a #Linux desktop with an #Android? Well, at least there seems to be a native #Emacs for Android. Unsure if it'd provide same UX though.

@publicvoit @la_li_lu_le_lo ach schade, da wäre ich auch drauf angewiesen :-/

@publicvoit Das kommt genau zur richtigen Zeit! Freue mich drauf.. 🙋🏼‍♂️

Bei den #Graz​er #Linuxtage​n werde ich einen Workshop zur Einführung in #Emacs uns aufbauend darauf gleich einen zu #Orgmode halten.

Wer sich also prinzipiell für das coolste Tool zur Selbstorganisation interessiert, der hat nun eine Chance auf einen Schnelleinstieg. 😉

Wow, I just reinstalled NixOS and I didn't have to download gigabytes of data!

The trick was to build a custom ISO using nixos-generators. This ISO contained the same programs and configurations as the system I wanted to reinstall. When I then ran nixos-install from the live installer, it was able to source most paths from the local Nix store!

Every year I end up revisiting the fact that #Apple #Photos has absolutely crap exporting and archiving features, so this year I decided to rewrite my #macOS #export scripts in #Swift:

Hello world! We are Modal, a new collective born out of the local Berlin community around Linux infrastructure. We're involved in projects like GNOME, postmarketOS, p2panda, and systemd.

We organize the #BoilingTheOcean events, and work upstream on a number of difficult problems in emancipatory computing, including local-first networking, mainline Linux on phones, and platform security.

Our long-term goal: A free software platform that's competitive with the iPhone 🌈

You can now run gokrazy on NVMe disks on the Raspberry Pi 5 🥳

The user guide shows you how: https://gokrazy.org/userguide/nvme-disk/

The bootloader firmware and configuration is fully managed via your gokrazy instance config :)

Using an NVMe SSD not only speeds up your updates (writing+booting a new gokrazy image is now possible in 30 seconds!), but also makes for a more reliable storage medium than SD cards longer-term…

Y’all. I just released an update for Ratio (v1.3), my macOS color contrast checker for accessibility compliance.

I fixed on small bug and added a support link. Wait for the prompt or download the update now:

https://ratioapp.markwyner.com

Color contrast is easy with Ratio. As the app says, “you can do it. I believe in you.”

Tucked away deep in the Settings app on Android are all sorts of privacy and security features you may have never seen. It’s time to get to know those settings. https://ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-get-to-know-android-privacy-and-security-settings

TIL: there is a source trying to answer the question, which banking apps are compatible with #GrapheneOS => Banking Applications Compatibility with GrapheneOS

@pallenberg sehr cool!

Finde es im übrigen richtig stark, dass Du gerade so viel über Self-Hosting und digitaler Souveränität sprichst und machst..

Great ep of @verge’s Decoder podcast re: How Silicon Valley Enshittified the Internet w/ Cory Doctorow @pluralistic.

In this clip: "You look at all of those foundational problems with AI, and you look at the answers that the AI sector has, like, maybe if we keep shoveling words into the word-guessing program, it will become intelligent. Well, that's like saying maybe if we keep breeding these horses to run faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive, right?" 1/
