If you get a usb remote you can bind the home button to rofi or something similar to make a quickstart menu for apps and websites you use most often.

Good looking out. I edited the link.
Damn i still say that like that sometimes, and i totally forgot where it came from
As someone without an electric car, i always assumed it was for something to do while charging.
Im using freebsd on my nas because it has better zfs support than linux does. Or at least was the case as of a couple years ago.
Originally i just threw a few extra drives into my old Arch machine, but i noticed my package upgrades were being held back because zfs on linux (or whatever they called it) was dependant on older kernels or something. I cant remember the exact details.
Yeah, reading these comments, it looks like they are not legally able to call it unix, despite having direct lineage. Linux however is a complete re-write, making it more obviously not proper unix by most definitions.
Linux is unix-like, and not from the same family really. ChromeOS is based on linux, so similarly unix-like. Mac is Darwin, which is actually unix. Also all BSDs are unix
Yes, but hiring some devs to modify the code to be run on a home server could be seen as an investment towards saving the cost of running the servers themselves.
If a company is going broke and cant afford to port the code to a home market, they could simply open source it, and let the fans do the work.
And as i mentioned to the other guy, i think this should be the law.
Don’t misunderstand me, I absolutely think there should be regulation over this. I’m saying ultimately if a company wants to discontinue a service they should be forced by law to release the server software. That way the player base can still use the product they paid money for.
Didnt watch this specific video, but the solution seems simple to me. Just release the server software. Bonus points to open source it.

No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.
Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi’s wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.
Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.
For me a hotspot has been the least headache
What i usually do is set up a wifi hotspot from my phone, and connect the pi that way
I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.
The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed. Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.
If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.
Thats a fair point, i never tried banking on waydroid. Most of the stuff i would need on the go seemed fine though.
Although, as far as tap to pay goes, i could see that getting baked into linux properly. I dont believe apple pay and google pay tap pay are using a different protocol. I may very well be wrong though.
Waydroid runs decently on the pinephone. On a phone with better specs, it might be downright usable for proprietary apps.
Potentially a proton-style layer could really ease transition, like on the steamdeck
Leaving my house for over an hour
My point is really just that it is an entirely different software stack than the traditional linux experience. I cant just download the source for a standard linux app and compile it for android, it needs to be ported.
I think pinephone and librem are the closest we have gotten to a proper linux phone. But the specs suck, and the mobile optimized app ecosystem isnt there yet. Thats the point of the op meme.
Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.
