@devSJR For postmarketOS? The PinePhone, as I mentioned in the above post. It's one of the originals, not a Pro model.

To all those who think it is fine to use AI to make images and not pay human artists for their creativity and time, I would like to remind you all that there is another free image service that has been around for ages - 20 years in fact - that has free images to use in your PowerPoints or whatever. It is called Creative Commons. I have always used it in my own slide presentations over the years. A ton of great images to use. Just read the instructions on how to credit the images, like typing in a little bit of extra text in your presentation. You can still read, can't you? Great. Check it out at https://creativecommons.org

New blog post

Building your first smolweb page

A simple news article that takes ten seconds to load and eats 50 MB of data. You've seen that. We all have. Mountains of JavaScript, giant CSS frameworks, third-party trackers, custom fonts pulled from remote servers... all of that to display a few paragraphs of text.

The smolweb pushes back against that...

@lerothas I would guess it is not.

Also probably not a coincidence that Kali used be be called BackTrack and Nethydra used to be called BlackTrack.

Their branding has historically been quite similar.

@osnews "Tap a few locations on the screen to calibrate the touch layer, set the date and time, and that’s it – you’re at the home screen ready to go. I wish modern smartphones were similar."

All of my phone setup experiences have been like the experience you wish for (except with putting in my WiFi password instead of setting the time). Is the article describing an American-specific problem?
