@dos @lupyuen The CHIP also had a custom distro. NTC and the community did a lot towards the same goal. The Pinephone was impressive but the community behind it seemed to have many goals. There was supposed to be a BSD distro available too.
Having received the early released PocketCHIP and the first available Pinephone version, neither were a disappointment. The Pinephone was arguably the best Linux Phone in terms of hardware support and the community.
The hardware isn't very powerful and that's a fair point to make but it's about as open as possible. Perhaps it's not powerful enough now but it was always underpowered. The budget SoC from 2012 lasted in a Linux smartphone for about 4 years.
My point is that it is possible. A phone that could not play videos made Linux phones a reality.
@lupyuen The PocketCHIP ran Debian Linux with Gnome on much less powerful hardware. The evolution of GNOME: 512mb of RAM and one 32bit core is plenty to I can't be responsive with four 64bit cores and 2gb to 3gb of ram.
It definitely seems like GNOME is part of the problem.

@AmpBenzScientist Cant get too dark for me
@freemo Ah just like Raytheon or the US government ignoring Skunkworks about the ideal coatings.

@freemo A Kent Knot kind of day with a solid tie. It's a good choice. A Windsor would look somewhat out of place.
@freemo Hmm so I missed a joke and made it darker than it should have been.
@thendrix It's very refreshing.
@freemo We could have created jobs and industry but our nation said to think of the children. Apparently there was an island where they did just that.

At this point some good old fashioned drugs might do the USA some good... they never should have put a stop to the opiate epidemic, they should have encouraged it :)

@bibliolater I would think so. When I started diving i was extremely scared of deep water. Took me about 10 dives post training before the fear went away. I'd imagine the same would be true of cave diving.
@freemo @bibliolater A beta blocker might be beneficial because of the reduced adrenal response. It's not going to stop panic but it should help with the physical symptoms.
@freemo The caves without breathable air are instant death for free divers. It still sounds fun though and there are worse ways to go out.

the USA feels like a mental institution where virtually everyone has some sort of personality disorder... Anyone who thinks guns are the problem are completely disconnected with the reality, americans are so toxic and vile as a society I would expect them to be killing each other en masse regardless of access to guns or not.
@freemo Our society was fine on Benzedrine, whiskey and having a relaxing smoke. We need to go back to our roots.
We should also probably look into the times right before 9/11. There was mostly peace and hope. The culture of fear, among other things, has changed our society and I believe it's a major contributor to why we are unhinged. To put it simply, we have become accustomed to not being okay and that has distorted our perceptions.
