@cyberwolfie I used postmarket with phosh interface on it for a month. I am impressed with its stability and overall experience. Most of drivers are already out. Is even better supported than Fairphone 4. However, it has no audio support. No microphones or speakers are working ATM. You can use sound via Bluetooth or USB for now.

Once it gets audio support I will get back on pmOS. Until that, I am also daily driving calyx on it.

@markkdark also waiting for a decent phone size to use with Linux myself.

Currently, I use a Fairphone 5 only because size is its only negative aspect. Apart from size, it has upgradeable battery and storage, decent performance and very good camera. As soon as there is another option at around 6 inch ready for Linux, I will sell this tablet from Fairphone.

@RecallMadness @poVoq oneplus 6/6t is the one supported by most of linux distros and also has close to 99% compatibility and stability.

@gunnm bitcoin might upgrade to monero soon enough 🤭

@haui_lemmy not more than any other interface. We need to have options. You would probably find less than 5% of people who will be selecting an iOS like interface, due to Apple being ferociously anti Foss ecosystem. But is good to have that option too.

@GregorTacTac energy consumption is not the reason for the monero adoption dilemma. The corporatist propaganda is.

@lud @helenslunch Just because most idiots only use cards these days, it doesn't mean that only criminals use large amounts of cash.

I only use cash, to prevent the CBDC scams from ever implementing. I also use large amounts. Need to pay rent, buy a car, borrow money to family and friends etc

@prancing389 @SummerBreeze is not the OS developer duty to do quality check on every third party app and its subsequent version updates. This consumes a lot of time for OS developers which should be focusing on OS development.

This stifles development and adoption for both the OS and third party apps. What OS developers should do is to check the authenticity of every app. Like flatpak is doing with verified apps.

What I can definitely say is that real assets can be stolen/confiscated from you, therefore, it does not have stable value. Monero on the other side can not be subject to these events. Monero might not be perfect but is the best we have at the moment. Satoshi themselves agree with this.

The regular 4% inflation clearly proved over time that is not beneficial. there is an alarming percentage of population which is homeless, and living in foreign houses on high rents.

Monero has a constant inflation of 1%. Actually less than that due to people that loose coins. I can not say if this is the sweetspot to both help economic growth and social prosperity. Only time can say this. NOT THE ECONOMISTS.

I so much love these intelligent polemics. You guys please go on. Don't stop here. 😆

Frankly, I have to bring my input too. While I understand the need for inflation to stimulate economic growth, I can not understand the need for illegal inflation. During planned emergencies the establishments took advantage and created inflation of over 40% in South America and even 15% in the west (the "democratic" countries).
