Why still this obsession with battery life? Every where I go trains, bus, hotel even cafes, airlines offer free power. Look at health! Ideally for helping keep my eye sight I need proper matte screen. Staying with dell/thinkpad lin

KaiOS is run by "Operators and device manufactureres" like Reliance, by bundling proprietary code. Not truly OSS.

Mozilla wanted really FOSS. KaiOS never released source code. When asked they always tell me that contact vendor (who do not want to release). You cannot compile and install your own KaiOS

I have been to several synchrotrons, central facilities. Most had stock install of centos (whatever stable on that day). All user software was always installed in a nfs mounted /soft/+++ so that everyone could source it and use it

Linus Torvalds once said in an interview with the "IBM Kid - from future is open" that he appreciates all sysadmins. You are one of those. Cheer up!

But you cannot ever the source code of kaiOS. Despite several enquiries, they told me that ask the device manufacturer as we are NOT legally needed to provide you source. KaiOS is kind of open but not totally!

Yes, you can run latest iOS. But it is dog slow. Try to use it with at least 3 apps. For a typical user with > 10 apps it is useless.

Why is it clearlinux always wins in every comparison? Seriously I wonder Intel can squeeze everything out of their chips.

Nice that even the first MotoG still has LineageOS development active - hopefully will get Oreo from LOS!

FYI: Motorola is also friendly towards ROM development. You can easily unlock bootloader and slap lineageOS/AOSP. Of course, for people from US - it may not work if you have a carrier branded phone. https://motorola-global-e

Instead of putting link to your Twitter you could HV typed which articles you plan to edit. Editors need to be strict otherwise it is a slippery slope and will be ruined with pure junk. Do not take it personally, chill and contribute later.

While I agree it is an apt idea, it is not so useful. See this post https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/google-has-most-of-my-email-be... The graphs may change a bit but the overall trend is communication involves big 5 SV.
