Audio now working on the Fairphone 6 running Linux

    I find it crazy that there are people out there who care about ethical repairable tech enough to invest hours and hours into Fairphone, have the know-how to hack away at Linux on mobile and develop hardware support, and nevertheless use Reddit and Twitter as the only channels to communicate this work.

    I get that the Fediverse is still pretty niche by most standards, but for FOSS development it seems to be a pretty obvious meeting point.

    Edit: It turns out the other FP6 hacker is also making their own non-federated Reddit alternative, which probably explains the absence from the Fediverse. 🙃

        so to summarize, in increasing order:

        • uses twitter (and other big tech-only platforms)
        • uses grok
        • wants grok on android, in an app
        • has the mindset to ask elon directly in a tweet

        also develops a centralized social media site, which does not even load text content without scripts and HTTP fetch requests being allowed.

        so far I was thinking maybe you two could join efforts. now I understand if you don’t think that could work.
