That. Is fucking. Amazing.

This might be the single reason I buy vacuums of this brand on the future.

Fuuck duck 🤣🤣🤣 genuinely cried laughing at this! Thank you 🙇‍♂️

Real Linux is definitely the way - but GSI Roms are totally capable of microG if I’m not mistaken! On that github’s FAQ page it mentions the FLOSS version comes packed with f-droid; microG can be installed from there and works fine - it doesnt need to be bundled in the ROM! 🙂

Or just stick with the vanilla gsi & you’ve got bare aosp. Throw F-droid on there, pull down microG and bam!

THANK YOU! Such a glaring hole in graphene os, I dont know how it doesnt get talked about more!

Keet, is a messaging app! It’s in beta right now, but its already pretty stable and has a ton of promise!!

More info= works kinda like torrents - your client’s IP & connectivity info is encrypted, then distributed across their ‘hyperDHT’. Users you’ve connected with can ping the DHT to get your current IP info, then you establish a direct connection to whoever you’re chatting! File shares are also accomplished over that DHT, so you can send files of any size, even terabytes!

While I’m not at all disagreeing, it’s pretty wild this comment is still up 😅

Gahhh mmaaaaann I was really hoping it was just a trend to chuck rubber shlongs at sports games for the lolz. Jesus fucking Christ.

There’s a lineagoOS fork that comes prepackages with microG as well, helping to keep google services style stuff working (maps links etc) without using any actual google services. It’s my daily driver, would recommend!

YMMV - some stuff still flat out doesn’t work if it’s too reliant on google services. Graphene is definitely better in that regard, if you have a pixel.

Nah, still no v6 server. At least, not on their main download page 🥲

Sick! Are you running a Linux client? Last I checked the self-hosted V6 server binary hadn’t released, if it’s finally out I’ll drop a brick!!

There was a post recently on c/privacy for a self hostable (relaying) peer-to-peer web based option! Its effectively release 1.0 and has some bugs (some serious security ones at the moment), but I think it has lots of promise!!

I’ll go grab the link for the post I saw…

Revolt is still extremely beta, at least last I checked it out?

Vesktop (on flatpak I believe) is just a discord wrapper with plugin support, actually a really great experience!!

Still, here’s hoping literally any FOSS discord clone gets fully off the ground sometime soon. The enshitification is so fucking real.

Ah nice, seems I misremembered that URL also! Fixed my comment 🙂

So excited to see this progress!! 😃❤️

I have been searching for a discord alternative for so long 😭 THANK YOU THANK YOU! Cannot wait to start testing this out with friends 😃

How do we get this listed on alternative.to alternativeto.net ? Would love to get this posted on there for more folks to find it on their own prerogative!!

This is the way

As someone working on wrapping up my bachelor’s in software engineering… Yeah… Fuck frameworks.

Everything I’ve been taught thus far has been nice, neat, logical code that has been explained completely. How does memory get allocated for that string? What exactly is a memory stack? How do pointers work? It all just made sense.

Then I get to the last 10 classes of my degree, and as a prerequisite for the last 9 I got treated to “java frameworks”. The classwork essentially teaches me to explicitly ignore how the framework accomplishes the end result, and to instead focus on memorizing bullshit one-line commands that are specific to whatever jackass framework I’m working in.

I’ve spent like 3 weeks straight watching crash course after crash course, trying to find anyone that actually explains the fundamentals of frameworks. Best I could find was an explanation of MVC (model/view/control), but I still don’t see how all that bullshit is easier that writing your own code!!

Fuck frameworks.
