I feel like I’m missing something here, but isn’t knowing what’s under the hood exactly the point of projects like Lemmy? The source is available on github, and they explain the algorithms or talk about their political bias pretty openly in most communities.

Were you thinking more from the angle of the way our social biases work as a group, or like the risk of maintainers tampering with the sauce pre-release?

I hope this didn’t come across shitty - genuinely curious.

I’m so glad it’s not just me that’s had this lol. My laptop blackscreened after a house move and when I saw the GPU was offline I thought it didn’t survive the journey.

Do you fancy giving it a go for an uneducated potato such as myself? Never heard of the MIT license hate before.

Oh that’s totally fair! Honestly it’s been a really pleasant surprise? I thought I’d have to fight it but even the few Google apps I needed still worked without an issue. I’ve been gradually sunsetting them one by one and just removed the last one the other day.

I love Organic Maps for nav. The voice is a little clunky but everything is computed offline.

Did you want any help? Tech support is literally my job, lol. I’ve built an are stack + jellyfin, mailserver and home assistant before for what it’s worth.

I flashed e/os to main and I love it! Automatic blocking of trackers. Clear notices when apps access hardware. Falsified GPS to a plausible location at the flip of a switch. It’s still not perfect but it’s a big step and very easy to install.

I think Graphene is similar?
