Is there any other functional Linux (not Android based) phone, though?

... Is it functional? Which device do you have to use it on?

[-] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Fully functional, I run it currently on a Fairphone 4. Every phone feature works, AFAIK. Native app selection could be better, but android apps work via waydroid. Probably not banking apps, though... Haven't even tried. :D

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Oh, cool! Does it also work on more modern hardware like the Fairphone 6...? I need more raaaammmm

[-] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

I think that on fairphone 5 it works, but not on fp6. As far as I can remember, I checked quite some time ago. Out of curiosity, what do you need the ram for?

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

running local AI models lol

and also like, having multiple apps open without them running out of memory and reloading, that's annoying

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Run a server at home with a big GPU, set up a VPN to get remote access, get access to high quality self-hosted models regardless of how much RAM your phone has

Also I need lots of storage (at minimum 256GB) because my phone is an offline backup of my photos, music, English Wikipedia, movies, etc

Phones are like the worst place to back everything up. When shit goes tits up, you have to read data straight off the chip rather than a removable drive.

The Fairphone, however, has a MicroSDXC slot, so even if you get a 5 with less storage than the 6, you can just buy a microsd card, it supports up to 2TB I believe. As a bonus if your phone dies, you'll still have access to your data unless it somehow manages to take the microsd card with it.

i do have a microSD card, it's broken and I've needed to retransfer over the data 4 times, whilst my internal storage has never failed (on my current Motorola g73 phone)

My phone isn't my only backup, but I can't carry my server and laptop with me everywhere, and multiple times it's been useful to have a local backup of various kinds of data

I do still store some data on my microSD card, but it is really annoying having to transfer it back again every time it breaks and it means I can't store anything I always need to have on it

postmarketos is almost functional

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
