Their firmware isn’t opensource. At least not fully. Only the EC firmware has been opensourced, that is the firmware for the micro-controller responsible for the battery, keyboard, buttons, LEDs, sensors, and so on…

The boot firmware, responsible for getting the CPU and hardware in a bootable state, is absolutely proprietary. There is initial support for one specific framework motherboard in coreboot, a partially libre boot firmware, but it’s very new and I don’t know exactly what is and isn’t supported…

That was a fantastic read. Highly recommend (despite old site)

For β- yes, but not for β+

Fair but Ubuntu Touch is not mainline Linux. It’s a hack to get a GNU/systemd Userland working with an Android kernel (which arguably is also a huge feat)

Sure, but PMOS is by far the most complete and “daily-ready” mobile mainline Linux distro out there. In fact I’m pretty sure both Mobian and MoA use the PMOS kernels…

No. Most people mean PostmarketOS, which is Busybox/musl/Linux

A project is in no way, shape, or form obliged to to accept and maintain your code, especially if it’s not a feature they want. If you want your feature so badly, maintain a soft-fork yourself. Don’t want to put in that effort yourself? Then why should the project maintainers?

The serious answer is to whatever your country’s internet regulation agency is (assuming your in the EU, else you’re out of luck). So for example, in France that would be the CNIL, in Germany it’s the BfDI, etc.

Yeah, my university’s intranet (and I believe also their homepage, but I’m not sure) has the same

It’s really a skill issue if replacing T by [T ] in your regexp is hard

Yeah sure, I’ll admit defeat. Btw, weird flex for an Irishman to write a play in French…

No, it’s a play

Your Mac technically runs a modified FreeBSD with a modified Mach kernel.

I too am at a loss as to where the meme is
