  • Where did you find the info that the TTFone uses a fork - XDA? Possibly it can take CFW?

    It's a de-googled Android hence AOSP and the source code is nowhere to be found, as far as I can tell. That said, I don't really know where they wrote the device-specific changes, just guessed.

    As for the 8020, it's obviously an unproven product at this stage so picking that at this stage is pretty much a gamble.

  • Oh, the TTFone OS core is a proprietary fork of AOSP, and developed in China. That is probably a nope for me.

    But I appreciate for letting me know of it. Might be good for the kids in the near future.

  • Thanks! Interesting, I hadn't heard of that one.

    I wasn't able to find if the tt970 (or the newer t990) provably can run Signal, but seems like it's an Android 14 so I guess it should.

    Do you have one?

  • Point me towards a dumb phone that can run Signal properly and I'll cancel my 8020 order right now.

    (yes, it's still a bit of a guess whether the 8020 can actually run it properly, but that's what they're promising right now anyway)

  • I guess they wanna throw a shade by contrasting the numbers. 1.5 million deaths in 2 years vs 76000 deaths in 3 years. Or in relative terms, 60-70% vs 4%.

    They kinda have a point there, even though the official UN definition of genocide of course doesn't rely on number of deaths but intent. But usually, genocidal intent leads to high number of deaths, doesn't it? Especially when your military is so much more powerful.

    Then again again: Srebrenica. "Only" 8000 deaths. But in 11 days.

  • Thing is, this is the strain that's gonna be legalized if any. So any fun use would still be illegal.

  • Only Libertarians actually believe that stuff, and they are a sad (on many levels) minority.

  • What you get: coffee that walks into your colon, flips a table over, and says, "Get up. We have responsibilities."

  • That might just be a function of popularity and scale though. Spotify has 750M active users. Qobuz (by this article) reached 1.2M in 2025.

    They might be paying more from the goodness of their hearts or they might be paying more because they have no leverage. As the artist, if you get roughly 70x more streamings but each streaming is half the price, you're gonna get more money obviously.

  • Disclaimer: I mostly agree with Daniel Ek's political stances and I'm especially a big fan of him putting significant capital into defence industry. And I like that Spotify is from Sweden and is still mostly owned by swedes. Just to say that the following is not politically motivated.

    I just switched over to Qobuz because I got fed up with Spotify's convoluted UI due to it trying to cram in podcasts and audiobooks in there in addition to just music.

    It's pretty cool. The QBZ client from Flatpak can output bit perfect audio to my DAC with just a few tweaks that the client itself helpfully guides through. QBZ UX is way better than Spotify for mindful listening: it guides towards listening to whole albums instead of badly created mixes.

    I tested sound quality with Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. Was way better on Qobuz for reasons that probably have more to do with mastering than actual sound quality of the client. Because, you know, human ears just don't.

    I've missed one album so far: Benedictum's Uncreation isn't there, but it is in Spotify. Oh well.

  • No, Alko is pretty much the same as Systembolaget in terms of quality of service.

  • He has certainly achieved many things from his list. Which I think is a good thing: politicians are obviously supposed to do what they promise to do.

    The actual effect of those changes will be seen in the next decade, not right now. I mean the economic changes like rent freezes, childcare funding, "affordable housing". Devil is in the details, so those things might go fine or they might go pretty badly.

  • Seems to me when we get the boomers out of the way, a lot of problems also go away.

    Perhaps, but then we'll have the more difficult problem of having to fix things ourselves with nobody else to blame. If you think Democratic Socialists have all the right answers, you're gonna be a bit disillusioned soon.

  • Por que no los dos

  • Niri & Noctalia are awesome. It's not quite as easy to configure as Cosmic Desktop, but the paradigm works way better and faster when you get used to it.

    I was also a bit resistant to the idea, but somehow finally got it. Probably on the 5th try.
