I grew up on Vancouver Island, and currently live with my spouse in Sonoma County. Enjoy a weekly hiking ritual to roam different regional parks. Re-calibrate by going north to YPL every year. :-)

Last Notes npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense I like that TuxedoOS has decided to shift towards supporting a community based distro, such as Debian. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Congrats CoMaps! npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Sounds good to me. The info app is a perfect place to get information. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Just wait until CoPilot starts submitting pull requests on its own. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense I hope that Google changes its mind, but as a shareholder company, they aren't a community. So I don't hold out too much hope. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Night time in California, and now I'm hungry. :-) npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense My Ai kill switch is called #LibreWolf. :-) npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense I see where you're heading. Yes, I mostly agree. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense There are ways to customize most of the Linux distros on your list to solve most of your complaints. It just takes chosing one and exploring the nuances, and getting involved in their community. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Nice review. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Gargoyle sculptures attached to the down spouts of Winchcome parish church, in England. Hard to see all the detail from the ground, but they've got personality. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Dang. It just never ends does it. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Are you concerned that Google will further lock down the play store? Limiting AOSP to installing apps only from the various open source stores? This wouldn't affect me, but maybe a lot of other folks. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Do you think they will eventually make Android a proprietary platform? Why does Google even keep it open source at this time? Maybe a silly question, but I'm curious where the project is heading. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense If I run GrapheneOS without Google Services running in the background on my main account, its significantly more battery efficient than stock OS. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense I like the recent Android update for Mastodon. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense I think this is great, but does the Pixel Tensor cpu really have the horsepower? npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Eventually, we are going to need "someone" other than Google, making mobile devices with cutting edge hardware, but open to installing any OS (like PC builders can). npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Apple continues this trend by slowly locking down MacOS to allow only signed software to be installed, and soon, only software from the Mac Store. npub1vgwflhdk0ugmpl859a9nvydgwuclmndruxzkl3d55w5wq5te38nq6up2t8 AdventureTense Actually this reminds me of a question about OS updates.
