Most of what you use is built by "code monkeys" and is on the way to being vibe coded.

>A small amount of essential software is pinned to the last version which is not tainted. We pin software as a last resort, preferring to find alternatives or move the package into the tainted repository. The current list of pinned software in “base” and “main” is:

>binutils gcc gdb libffi perl xorriso

Good luck replacing those ...

How many times are you going to copy and paste the same message?

We get it. Your behavior makes reading the posts hard for no reason.

This is not Facebook, people take time to read here.

mrbn100ful··on AOSP Source Releases Are So Late Developers Disassemble Libraries to Report Bugs
How are /e/OS, GrapheneOS, or LineageOS alternatives?

Google can kill them in an instant, they need the AOSP source to survive.

mrbn100ful··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
Go on the Motorola website, over 40 SKUs! We all know that the most expensive one is not going to be the most popular.

Every Google Pixel model per generation ends up supported.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE TSA.

Social hardening is a real problem.

mrbn100ful··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
Yes please buy the low volume phone from a 5% market share manufacturer.

Someone high up got tired to pull over every pixel user at the border.

With the new Motorola, TSA line are going to move faster that ever!

If you care about privacy, stay away for the moto release and stick with pixel.

mrbn100ful··on On non-rooted Android 17, ADB uninstall of system apps fails
What does GrapheneOS have to do with this?

This is very useful on OEM ROMs with a bunch of scrapware, no one expects a custom ROM to have this issue.

mrbn100ful··on US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search
I mean, yes?

If 1% of iPhone users are criminals and 5% of GrapheneOS users are criminals, border search agents are going to be interested in your GrapheneOS mobile.

I am pretty sure criminals are more likely to use a super safe and secure phone that is easy to obtain.

I guess you have macOS, but that just it.

It's called https://github.com/features/codespaces or https://codeanywhere.com/ or https://claude.ai/code/

YAY, let's build the same thing over and over :/

Did you know that before reinventing the wheel, you can ask LLM your requirements, and they can find the most suited already existing tool ?

mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
They also have the Jolla c2 for 360€
mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
Yes and most people don't realize that the current "AOSP" apps are the LineageOS apps.

A true AOPS image is missing most core Apps.

mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
The compositor is open (Lipstick) : https://github.com/sailfishos/lipstick

And OSS projet based on the SFOS core exist : https://nemomobile.net/, https://github.com/nemomobile-ux

mrbn100ful··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
They are (slowly) releasing more and more components

https://github.com/sailfishos/jolla-camera

It's still more open than AOSP

Like Waydroid or Appsupport (only on SailfishOS) :p
mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
How is it nowadays ?

I can't find recent demos of the phone, everything is a few years old on YouTube now, and I know the device is still in development.

How usable the browser and camera are ?

Can you get a full day of battery ?

mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
Pinephone/pro

What else use main line kernel without blob ?

mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
Not now, and probably not in the near future.

Don't buy if this is your main goal.

Your Toyota made in Kentucky is Russian because it uses Siberian steel lol
mrbn100ful··on Jolla phone – a full-stack European alternative
How so ? It's not like this is an Android Skin.

It's running a custom Wayland compositor and UI.

Still use all the Linux stack you expect (GCC, Wayland, SystemD, Pulseaudio, RPMs, Dbus ...)

Yes they do ship phones !

Everyone is stuck on the 2015 tablet failure.

Let us clarify here as it is very different indeed.

The Jolla C2 Community Phone is done in collaboration with Reeder, who is the HW vendor. This means Reeder sources the components, plans the production and does the manufacturing in Turkey. Jolla provides the complete software stack (Sailfish OS) which is installed by Reeder in the manufacturing.

In the new Jolla Phone everything is different. Jolla is the vendor, has designed the product itself, done the component sourcing and pays directly to the component vendors. We control the pipeline. Further, we have secured our position for the initial memory batch with advance purchase.

Also, to be clear: Reeder has no involvement in the new Jolla Phone.

Thank you for asking, very good points to clarify!

Buy a Xperia XA2 on Ebay for 180€ + 25€ for SFOS license.
mrbn100ful··on /e/OS is a complete, fully “deGoogled” mobile ecosystem
Not everything have to be perfect.

For some user, /e/ is more approachable (Friendly and colorful UI)

I could not get my mother to use GrapheneOS, /e/ is a lot simpler.

Still miles better than to use a Default ROM from most OEM.

Mind to share one of those models ?

Far has I know, pebble user have spent the last 10 years searching for another pebble without luck.
