It doesn’t help with the reasoning, but defed.xyz has been a lot easier to use than scrolling through the /instances endpoints

For some reason I thought it was more annoying to work out than it looks to be. @RegalPotoo@lemmy.world you might want to check out nix-versions

I only started diving into nix this year so I’m still learning, but yeah, I’m pretty sure the lack of granular versioning is a common pain point with nixpkgs. I’d suggest checking out flakes if you haven’t already, but be warned, it gets hairy lol

Is this Nix bait? Cause I’d say Nix.

My mind auto harmonized with this comment

Add on to that the REFUSAL TO ACCEPT HOSTAGES because “we don’t want your dirty bargaining chips (our citizens)”. Yeah, really fucking weird.

I like how the first one is basically just a Jojo pose lol

Proton on Linux is annoying to say the least. I’ve got it mostly working on my distro and without a DE. Have you checked the protovnpvn_reconnector service, assuming you’re on systemd? It’s kind of odd that it just slows to a crawl but maintains connection.

I like NewPipe x SponsorBlock on Android and piped.video for desktop

I’m not really sure, apart from fdroid needing permission to install apps. I don’t use fdroid, at least not directly. Most of my apps are installed through obtainium.

Yuuup, Verizon is exactly what I was getting at lol. They seem to be the most common refurb/second hand devices.

No problem, glad I could help!

In settings - about phone, tap the build number tab at the bottom like 7(?) times. That’ll enable the developer section back in settings, and there’s a bootloader option there, OEM unlocking.

I definitely second this. From what I’ve read, graphene’s sandboxed google services work a little more seamlessly compared to microg.

Edit: you might want to be careful with secondhand, though, regarding locked bootloaders. An unlocked bootloader is necessary and is NOT the same as “carrier unlocked”

It should be right, like Dataprolet said. Lemmy’s handling of linked comments can be confusing though.

This comment explains the drama and concerns pretty well. In short, the problematic lead stepped down and there isn’t really a reason to discredit the dev team as a whole.

As far as auditing goes, the code is available on GitHub. Only slightly joking, following release updates would be a good way to see what’s changing at a high level.

FlorisBoard has swipe support, but it’s still a new feature and doesn’t work all that well. It also doesn’t have the suggestion bar yet iirc.
