The FP5 SoC is a industrial IoT chip, so there is actually longer term support from Qualcomm which is IMHO better for Linux use.

Impossible to say unless you want to do it yourself 😅

The basic Linux kernel patches will be in the next release, and then it depends on when the mobile Linux distros upgrade the kernel.

But I think entusiasm for the FP6 is relatively low in the mobile Linux space, as they removed usb3 and display out from the hardware. I suspect the FP5 will remain the best supported one.

I think ypu are mixing things up. Ubuntu Touch is indeed halium based and thus uses Android kernel versions and device drivers, which makes it realatively easy to port but comes with the similar update issues as Android.

On top of that OS there is the Waydroid app that boots a LinageOS in a container and allows you to run Android apps.

 

Quite nice looking new XMPP webclient. Still early days, but might become a Discord replacement in the future.

Another option would be electro-chemical processing of metals which uses a lot of electricity and could in theory be only turned on when there is surplus power.

Refusing to cooperate with the leftist parties, putting a right-wing PM in place and being dependant on extreme right wing votes for many of his recent proposals (because he refuses to cooperate with the left parties). Basically he is doing everything the Front National needs to win next time.

The devices overview doesn't go into so much detail: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp4/

Probably best to ask on the UT forums directly.

Yes from centrists like Macron that pave the way for the extreme right to take over soon 🤦

Our instance on https://photon.slrpnk.net/ was just updated 👍

you can’t tell a person “Hey paint that fence.” and expect them how to paint that fence if they don’t know what the tools for painting are, if they don’t know what fence to paint, and even more so, if they don’t even know how to paint in the first place.

You wouldn't be able to order people around like that in the first place 🤷

The actual way would be to say "Hey, lets paint that fence together" and the problems you mention solve themselves. The theoretical term for that is "prefiguration".

This only happend after a long line of other revolutions against the local aristocracy which always ended in an appeal to the monarch as people couldn't imagine a society without one. Of course the monarch always gave only temporary concessions and later backstabbed them...

Tchncs ist schon ok, aber das meiste Geld versickert in die völlig überzogenen Hardwarekosten des Matrix Synapse Servers.

Milan sollte sich ernsthaft überlegen den abzuschalten, da es deutlich effizientere Alternativen gibt (XMPP), und Element inzwischen dazu übergegangen ist die hohen Kosten als Verkaufsargument für ihre Synapse Pro Version zu verwenden (das wird also nicht mehr besser werden).

There is nothing inherently preventing these things to be done with electricity from renewable sources (and the carbon for the chemical processes only acts as a cheap oxygen acceptor). It is just that burning coal is still cheaper and has existing infrastructure.

There are many economic areas where replacing fossile fuels is indeed very difficult, and only mining somewhat falls into those. The material processing necessary for solar panel production would be actually more simple and energy efficient with electricity. For example a lot of aluminium ore is already processed with electricity produced from geothermal sources in Europe.

 

Still only on dev channel, but hardware support looks great.

 

Of course this also works with a Prosody or Ejabberd xmpp server.
