All Android devices are Linux, it just happens to be the worst kind of Linux possible: one that entirely depends on proprietary drivers and is controlled by a company hellbent on closing it down through total dependence on their services.

Learning to build both automated and fiber operated 3D printed drones is probably a better use of your time. And learning some fun chemistry and electronics.

What exactly is it that you heard about the Pleroma devs? As far as I’ve seen the only people who seem to have something against them always vague post and never specify what is it that bothers them.

You also get the same issue with trans men. We a had a local case where a trans man was convicted of a crime, and the local authorities decided to send him to a male prison, respecting his self-identification. He proceeded to immediatly challenge this through the courts for obvious reasons.

In this situation, it’s impossible to escape the drawbacks of your biology so long as prisons assume a dichotomy. And the vast majority of the population considers any criminal to be subhuman anyway, so asking them to acommodate a sub-percentage of what is already a tiny 0.1% of the population is impossible. They would sooner vote to just execute them to save themselves the hassle and expense.

The older you get the easier it gets to abandon all streaming services to be honest.

Every high production value movie is a cliche you can guess 5 minutes in. And the few outliers get so much publicity you will probably hear about them anyway and be able to get a copy through other means.

I guess it’s also why apparently CD sales have been picking up. Easier to just rip your favorite music and listen to/stream your own collection than deal with a mess of different services.
