I don't think depending on Android drivers and having to run a small android just to access said hardware makes it a "linux phone". Especially when the linux experience is compromised because of it.

postmarketOS has no hybris and everything works great, but no device has all the drivers (in fact, no device at all is reported as having a fully functioning camera, let alone everything else) so there isn't a "flagship" device.

If I were to overspend on a linux device I want it to actually run Linux, not a handicapped version of it.

And even then, why stop at the OS? Why is this overpriced "linux" phone not boast having user-friendly and sustainable things like a replaceable battery (probably because it doesn't?). People in this niche don't want just a Linux phone, they want a phone that respects them.

Google One for 10TB is 274,99€/mo (at least in my country) so you'd make the entire nas price and subscription cost within a few months, let alone years.

There just aren't compelling public cloud for large sizes (My NAS is 30TB capacity and I'm using 18 right now) and even if you go the more complex loops with like S3 and whatnot you still get billed more than it's worth. Public cloud is meant for public files, there's a lot of costs you're paying for stuff you don't need like being fast to access from everywhere.

It's pay once and it comes with a free version if you just wanna give it shot, the only bad thing for me was how annoying the website was with dark patterns trying to push sales, the software itself is great.

If the next Undertale/Minecraft gets built in Godot, W4 Games would be the easiest way to get that game to consoles and rack in tons of royalties, so I think the investment is justified (though hoping it doesn't poison Godot in some way)

This happens less where the FOSS choice is a drop in a sea of established proprietary packages (FreeCAD, KiCad, Godot) but way way more when they have already established themselves as the popular pick (OBS Studio, Blender) so they get flooded by less tech-savy, more casual users that don't really see the value of open source other than they don't pay for it.

"Normal" people have always had stuff given to them for "free" (either "you are the product" or built-in licenses like Windows) so they don't realize the goodwill and sacrifices that FOSS goes through.

Given the amount of already digital tech in our gov (we also have "legal mail" via PEC[2] and a bunch others minor standards) I think it would be insane if EU just went "nice work you have there, now scrap it all and use ours instead", so I see why component states still have so much authority (even if it means some will not have a good time).

Also I like to note the cable length on the label, measured by myself since manufacturers always count the connectors on the total cable length and on some of them that can add up to almost 10cm

Also it just fails every vibe check: AI art in the homepage and they had some drama by publishing a quote saying that they were "the only real open source game engine"[1] (which has been retracted since)
