No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'd say on the Hardware side, degoogling is a pain. Android devices are not very 'open'. I think graphene is the only alternative that's easy to install and that only works on a couple of devices. For others like linage there are a few more devices but some of the install procedures are shonky and can leave you with unlocked bootloader and stuff like that. Scares off many people I'd think. I think a device that was designed to allow you to install an OS and is not basically locked down is attractive.
Put another way, you can fork android all you like, but what are you going to run it on, and how do you install it? If there was a device that made it easy , it might get popular enough to attract more interesting open source innovations.
On the software side , once you ditch google there's also way fewer applications. F-droid is ok; but being able to use one of the major distro with an ARM repository would give a decent amount of stuff - albeit not optimised for touchscreen.
I think there's an options also some technical stuff about how much call and cellular data has to go through your cellular network, and whether bypass or switch off is an option - I think that's for the real privacy people - I don't really know about it.
upvoted for use of the word "shonky". I dig it.
I've noticed a glyph in several of your comments, including this one. Are you doing that intentionally, or is it a character that my client just isn't deciding correctly?
I'm not doing anything intentional, where is it appearing?

Does that work?
It looks cool, and I see it in many of your comments.
Interesting, it's where I put a simple line break . If I put a line space then it creates a new paragraph block .
I guess your viewer doesn't like within its blocks.

Fascinating! Are you adding the HTML tags manually, or are they being translated from a new line at some point?
