Heres a shoutout/question to all those freedom techies (is that how you spell it?) out there:

For over a decade now I am using Linux on my computer and for about 7 years I am using a "custom OS" on my phone...And...Sometimes I really question myselfy whether there is something masochistic about it....because...I sometimes miss the sleek design and functionality of AppleOS and man, on my phone, I cant take proper 2024-style photos because big corp. seems to put special emphasis on making the camera drivers closed source.

I am truly curious: WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO ABOUT IT?

I'd love to hear from 100+ people :-)

So, here I try a nostr-thing: I'll zap the first 21 replies :-)))
