BuyFromEUIsn’t Mattermost basically open source Slack?
It will have unlocked bootloader and quite standard SoC, so you will be able to install PostmarketOS or any other mobile Linux on it.
But in that case you might as well buy FairPhone 5 right now and do the same to it.
Impressive. Always nice to see more interoperability.
Also, I fail to see how second link has anything to do with Bluesky federation.

Until it is suddenly there, while you are unprepared to do anything about it.

Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.
Yes, and so is a virtual machine. I’m thinking install Linux to disk so that it can then run directly on hardware.
Yes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).
lolwat.
can you explain the reasoning in your second paragraph?
Also I'm not sure that your definition of Enshittification is correct.

USB 2, therefore no external monitor.
If they make 6+ (like there was 3+) with USB 3, then I will consider getting it.
Programmer Humorthere was this satirical "web browsing simulator 2025" or something like that where you had to do all those things.
but I don't remember the exact name and can't find it with a search engine. Maybe someone else knows what I am talking about.
My first Android phone was Motorola Dext, second one was HTC Desire Z, which I held on to for a long time. By the time I had to replace it, there were no slide-out keyboard phones any more.
Then some time later F(x)tek X1 Pro was released. Looked like a perfect phone for me, but was too expensive, so I did not get it. But now that it's time is over as well, I look at the reviews and see that I did not miss much.
So now I am sadly on a glassy rectangle like everyone else, but I do carry a collapsable bluetooth keyboard around with me sometimes, so that I can still type some longer text in a proper way.
Also, I solved my no-headphone-jack issue by getting USB-C headphones. And there are USB-C to 3.5 jack adapters if you need to connect existing headphones or other equipment. So I don't really get how this "I miss a hole" is everywhere and lasts for so long.

Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?
Would it be possible to lower barrier to entry that low? To the point where installing some Linux distro would be as easy as installing a game on Steam or installing an application on a phone? There is existing software for installing Linux from Windows. For example, old WUBI for installing Ubuntu, and linixify-gui (fork of abandoned tunic) apparently does this as well.
