Yeah. And if nobody’s done your specific model, you’re all the way out of luck.
Technically most things we call “Linux” aren’t even Linux, they’re distributions that use Linux as a base. Android forks their own Linux kernel and then shovels on a whole bunch of non-Linuxy stuff on top of it and then locks it all down so that you can’t make any changes.
So what people mean when they say they want a true Linux phone is that they want an OS on their phone that behaves more like most Linux distributions (where you are in control, and can even install a different kernel if you wanted).
As for the forking question, being downstream of Android means A) undoing everything they did it lock it down and B) constantly having to do that moving forward as they do everything they can to stymie you at every turn.
Not easily anyway. Probably if you could do it at a hardware level, but manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to even get the dang thing open, and every model and revision would require intense research just to prove it out.
15·2 months agoIn Dark Souls, gravity is tied to frame rate and frame rate is locked to 30fps. When it was released on PC, a very popular mod unlocked that frame rate to whatever you wanted it to be. They cleverly included a workaround (the backspace key) to re-lock it for the two spots in the game where gravity matters.

This and Stranger than Fiction are my two go-to “dislike the actor except for in _____” movies. Tends to be comedians stepping out of their narrow role to do something serious and experimental.
Also you can’t lose with Jon Brion composing.I bet all those underscores are going to render weird.
Wait 'til they find out that Joe Shuster was an immigrant too.
Check out Model Minority by Cory Doctorow.
It’s about an unnamed superhero (who wears a red cape, and a spandex suit with a big S on it, and is engaged to a journalist named Lois, and his best friend/rival is named Bruce (who has a bat-themed alter ego)… anyway) who realizes that the cops are just beating people up and hiding it, so he makes a stand, but isn’t quite sure about how to do so.
Rust is calling to me
Yeah hey what’s your IP address real quick? No reason
Shut up, Wesley
I appreciate you sharing the link, but it’s too late

My two wifi bands have always been Castor and Pollux.
I take a word that’s related to the purpose of the new host and put it in an online translator and cycle through languages until I get something cool.
No you.
“looks inside” meme with the “oh. oh no” meme spliced onto the end
Confirmation from the Sega Genesis Sonic 2 manual:
Two images, one of the front cover of the instruction manual for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (giant shadowed Doctor Robotnik head and arm in the background, reaching for and clutching a giant checkered numeral 2 in the middle ground, with Sonic and Tails in the foreground, with game title and the text INSTRUCTION MANUAL below them, with the console logo at the top with stylized text reading SEGA GENESIS / 16 BIT CARTRIDGE.
Second photo: the manual opened to page 10 (greyscale), title text Super Items, description text: Spin, bash or bounce to break open monitors any way you can – to get the Super Items inside.
Five square pixelated images are arrayed in a row beneath the text: a shoe, a ring, Sonic’s face, three four-pointed stars, and a circle with a horizontal gradient.
Beneath these is a bulleted list of names and descriptions:
Under this list is a cropped screenshot of Sonic in a shield sphere, with Tails behind him and a mechanical preying mantis in front, the latter of which has launched small curved blades at Sonic’s shield.
The following page is visible in the photo but is outside of the scope of this post. It’s about Star Posts.
