Well, in the case of the liberux and the 9 pro, you get a lot more storage space built in (very fast storage), way more RAM, etc.
Its up to you whether that’s all worth it. To me it is, I max out sub-$400 phones very quickly. The pinephone feels very choppy to use too by comparison.
Wow, that’s quite the difference. What’s more shocking to me though is the fact that the rockchip somehow is built to handle a higher resolution than the tensor despite being weaker (8k@60fps vs 4k@60fps), and has AV1 support where the tensor doesn’t.
That’s a good callout. I’m not super familiar with it, do you know how it might bench against the Tensor G4?
Liberux NEXX is supposed to be a thing but they sorely need backers. It costs about the same as an equivalent Android phone (pixel 9 pro 1tb costs $1,500, liberux nexx 1tb costs $1,300).
8 core/32gb RAM/1TB storage phone in a very sleek body, Linux phones could have their flagship soon (and unlike pinephone it sounds like Liberux is gonna do the actual work on developing the software).
If you have access to the actual files themselves you can even edit them with a text, binary, or hex editor depending on the format.
Its just whatever is built into copilot.
You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.
That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.
Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.
I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.
Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉
Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.
I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.
Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.
I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).
Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don’t like what they’re doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.
You can stream remotely via jellyfin if you expose your server to the internet. VPN is safer but not the only option.
Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it’s slow.
Don’t reject connections to port 22, honeypot it and ban on connection attempt.
Kmail is simple and to the point, and at least in my experience is easier to set up. Bonus, if youre on KDE, it integrates very nicely.
It’s also more performant than Thunderbird.
AMD drivers: use the built-in MESA drivers that include the official AMD support.
Gmail: ProtonMail for the service, Kmail for the desktop client.
Chrome: Firefox, or Librewolf if you care about privacy.
Office365: LibreOffice for full FOSS or OnlyOfficr for less freedom but more comfort.
iTunes: depends entirely on what you use it for, but I buy my music mostly off of BandCamp these days.
MuseScore: MuseScore
Norton: Why were you using Norton in the first place? It’s practically a virus itself. If you need an antivirus on Linux, you might want ClamAV/ClamTK for something that runs locally only, or Microsoft Defender for Linux.
Py-Charm: Py-Charm, VSCode, Vim, Kate/KWrite
Remote Desktop to iOS: I got nothin’
Star Citizen: Star Citizen
Steam: Steam
VPN: Wireguard
Windows Games: install locally using Wine and then add to Steam as a non-Steam game to use Proton for better support.
Windows 10: run it in a VM if you still need it, or keep it on a separate SSD and dual boot into that.

I don’t like flatpaks or snaps or anything like it either, but I think they help a lot in situations like the Steam Deck or PinePhone where you want the base to be able to move slowly and be stable, while letting the apps on top move quickly.
The problems with flatpaks and similar is that it allows and even encourages developers to stick with horrendously outdated libraries, and your system is only as safe as the container’s isolation defenses.
They also make it more difficult to go in and directly modify or tweak the program as the user.
And many developers are no longer offering bare-metal options.
