Android basically is a Linux phone, it’s a distro(ish).
It has a Linux kernel and a Linux-based OS wrapped around it. And just like you can compile FreeCAD for Debian or Arch, you can compile Fossify for Google Android, GrapheneOS, or LineageOS.
“Linux” phones in the sense you mean won’t be a “Debian” or “Arch”, they’ll be something else, just like Android.
Not to mention Apple decided to make passkeys Airdropable. Fun.
I worked on a cool projected called FedID: https://fedid.me/ that creates a distributed identifier (DID) out in the world, federated with AvtivityPub, and gives you a key you can sign in with via OpenID Connect. It allows the DID to have multiple keys for multiple devices, and delegate authority, so losing a device/failure is no big deal.
That being said, Web passkeys can be stored in password managers, just like passwords.
Yes, but in 12 months a Linux phone won’t even be close to where even 4 versions ago Android is. As long as Graphene (or Lineage, or Fairphone, plenty of models) keeps the security updates covered, there are good options out there.
True, but what I’m saying is there is an open model. If another community of devs wan’t a “Linux-based mobile OS”, they can fork AOSP like Graphene did. IE complain about Google, not Android.
Graphene works. No tracking, tons of FOSS and commercial apps, it just lacks some banking apps. One gap, vs all that exist between now and another Linux phone.
LineageOS is another option for other phones, also far ahead of other Linux ideas.
Isn’t the first just AOSP? GrapheneOS ships Google free.
+ aliases are convenience aliases only. They are often stripped from ID datasets. Better to use a real alias.
Barber. Someone didn’t go to cosmetology school.
Hah, yea. 100% adding on 😀 Hopefully tomorrow is a brighter day!
Not only did the British invent imperial, they only halfway switched back. America just takes all the fire for it.
Or open an editor?
640x360. They claim it’s 480p. Maybe oy half-interlaces? Hah

In the Monday announcement, OpenAI claims the recently updated version of GPT-5 responds with “desirable responses” to mental health issues roughly 65% more than the previous version. On an evaluation testing AI responses around suicidal conversations, OpenAI says its new GPT-5 model is 91% compliant with the company’s desired behaviors, compared to 77% for the previous GPT‑5 model.
I don’t particularly like OpenAI, and i know they wouldn’t release the affected persons numbers (not quoted, but discussed ib the linked article) if percentages were not improving, but cudos to whomever is there tracking this data and lobbying internally to become more transparent about it.
If you have to tell someone something, it means the something is not obvious.
Funny seeing this as the first thing in Top as I am missing my flight connection due to it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The 2.0 release resolves a large amount of technical debt and shifts the focus toward compatibility and easier upgrades.

The reason this reminds you of Relativity is because that’s what it is with modifications.

He basically built (and advanced) Relativity’s open source headset.
Huh?
Control of your phone does not equal Linux. Plenty of FOSS OS’s do that (including Android). And Android 16 brought Linux app support with GPU acceleration if you’re into that and want FreeCAD on your phone.
