This is great news!

For those unaware, Google is continuously enacting policies that are closing down the open environment of Android, and I fear this will significantly harm projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and others.

If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider throwing some money at PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux project you like.

Same for trans kids, or gay kids, or anyone that doesn’t fit the norm.

I understand that social media can have detrimental effects on everyone, especially the youth. But let’s stop pretending like social media is akin to heroin, with no potential benefits. Social media is a great place for some people, teens and preteens included, to find a sense of community and belonging.

Participating has really helped. I’m still struggling to post, but I try to comment wherever I feel I can add value, however small.

Build the platform you want to be part of.

I’m really looking forward to Redox becoming a viable alternative for desktop.

My shift was primarily ideologically driven. I was sick of privacy encroachment, enshittification, and feeling like my computer wasn’t truly mine. Linux changed all that.

I get a couple miles of range! There’s a decent number of nodes in my town though, and the terrain is flat, which helps significantly.

I’ve been experimenting with Meshtastic for about a year now, and I love it! It’s currently my backup comms plan for my wife, as well as a few friends and family.

Although, I am putting more of my hopes into the reticulum network, with the hopes that it grows in the future.

The device this user mentions is the Lilygo T-Deck, and it’s wonderful! It’s on the pricier side of meshtastic devices, but works quite well. It’s the device I’ve given to my friends and family in town, as it’s much less hassle than trying to teach them to use a device with the app.

After using Autotiling from the Cosmic desktop, I can’t go back to anything else. I’ve tried distro hopping to Gnome based desktops for a few reasons, but always wind back up on Cosmic.

Congrats!

As a quality of life upgrade, I’d recommended downloading the COSMIC app store. It’s still made by the developers of Pop!, but is significantly better than the Pop Shop.

Have answers prepared for some common interview questions, such as:

• Describe a time you had conflict with a coworker, and how you handled the situation.
• Describe a time, as a supervisor, that you had to make an unpopular or difficult decision.
• What is your greatest strength?
• What is your greatest weakness?
• What is your approach to leadership?

And so on. These are all questions that deserve a bit of thinking. Don’t do that thinking in the middle of your interview.
