Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @frantictdrinker@mastodonapp.uk @gh05t @Gina I went from a OnePlus 8 Pro to a FP6 with e/OS. The biggest adjustment for me was getting used to a smaller screen. I don't find the hardware and OS problematic. @frantictdrinker That's great news thanks for sharing @Gina

Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @Gina@fosstodon.org @gh05t Not yet, I do use F-Droid on my Samsung phone though. My next phone will be a Fairphone (soon). @Gina oh awesome 😀, I love using F-Droid myself 😀. I am thinking about getting the FP6 myself. I had the FP4 a few years ago but it was very buggy at the time and it was very slow using, not sure if it was e/OS/ or the hardware.

Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @angiebaby@mas.to @alexpsmith Mastodon is a place for people with something to share. Twitter is a place for people with something to prove. @angiebaby NGL but you have a point. @alexpsmith
Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @alexpsmith@beige.party This is such a terrific corner of the internet. Elsewhere you'll find vicious people mocking others, dogpiling without remorse, laughing cruelly at suffering and misfortune, etc. But here? People generally support each other, and discuss their lives, passions, hobbies, moss and mushrooms, birbs, scientifIc discoveries, language learning, travel, music, cats, and everything else that keeps this planet from descending into complete disrepair. Well done, you. Yes, YOU! @alexpsmith Its a great community here

Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. https://xoxofest.com @xoxo Was this a legit homegrown creative festival?
Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @lehtimaeki@snapp.social I am very happy to join the @fdroidorg@floss.social Board of Directors for the upcoming two years. F-Droid is in the heart of the Open Source community, which I see as a very important part of the shift away from the US big tech here in Europe. Success of Open Source on mobile is success we all can share. F-Droid gives visibility to software developers who want to build experiences without predatory practices. This is important. https://f-droid.org/2026/04/28/board-appointments-2026.html @lehtimaeki Congrats Juhani @fdroidorg

NOstr without knowing it's nostr I mean, though also "vintage vines". Some of the #fediForum stuff that just wrapped was brushing up against the idea that the TECH needs to be a little less visible to the human, so they can roll on in without a barrier. Signin' in! @johannab all I heard was Nostr Lol @box464
Open post gh05t @gh05t@mastodon.online · 5mo ago Replying to @eff@mastodon.social <p>Massachusetts's social media ban (H. 5349) blatantly violates young people's First Amendment rights, but that's not all: it burdens lawful adult speech, destroys online anonymity, and jeopardizes everyone's privacy and security. We've asked the MA legislature to oppose. <a href="https://www.eff.org/document/eff-letter-opposing-ma-h5349-social-media-ban" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/document/eff-letter-op</span><span class="invisible">posing-ma-h5349-social-media-ban</span></a></p> @eff How did I not know about this until now.
