    Which reviews had you read? Earlier reviews of the previous model aren’t going to be as accurate as a lot of updates have led to improvements. You’re not wrong that things aren’t fully out of the woods (as is inevitably the nature of things, at this point in time) but most people who drive it daily have said that things just generally work, usually, these days. Their Matrix/Telegram channel may offer a more accurate depiction of the current state of things.

    Now, Android/iOS level performance may be what’s necessary to make the cut for you (that sounds sarcastic, for some reason, but I genuinely mean that as neutrally as possible) but I figured I’d mention since people will often mention the Liberux NEXX (a device which doesn’t even exist, yet) without even mentioning this one and it’s by far closer to an actual possibility of being daily driven out of everything else out there.

    EDIT: for example, here’s a review from a few months ago: https://clehaxze.tw/gemlog/2025/07-20-flx1-actually-usable-linux-phone.gmi. Again, I don’t want to make it sound like bugs don’t crop up occasionally (I don’t we can expect otherwise this early in the game) but I do think this one’s potentially actually feasible at being a daily driver far closer to what you’re looking for comparatively to anything else out there, at the moment.










  • If we strip all context from the original circumstance, I imagine we could.

    But that’s not what happened, is it? You elected to editorialize that the user is doing it to be fake-different and to gain attention, despite them never going out of their way to do so, never once that I’ve seen actually say it has anything to do with poisoning AI (not that it matters, either way), and never responding when people disparage them to their “face”; literally, just typing the way they want to type and not responding to the behavior of others, the literal opposite of seeking attention.

    Which any autistic person could tell you is highly relatable: they’re just off doing their own thing and it just infuriates the allistic folk who now have to make fun of them and say shit about them because, “Can’t they tell how annoying they’re being? Can’t they read social circumstances? I mean, I’m all for tolerance but they should really understand the way their behavior inconveniences me and makes me uncomfortable and now I’ve got make it their problem.”

    It annoys you; fine. Different strokes; but you didn’t just say it annoys you: you assigned motive and character to this person because you’re so annoyed and any neurodivergent person would recognize that behavior from when it happened to them.

    That’s clearly what AstralPath was referring to and you, then, lined up to the plate to participate further.

    That’s what I was pointing out; it’s not a generalized argument: it’s a capturing of an explicitly neurodivergent experience and taking it out of that context is, of course, going to make it fall apart.

    I think that’d make more sense if we’re considering the actual, underlying topic under debate but they were responding to gramie’s comment which didn’t challenge their assertion that the cows were hurt but just went (more or less): “counterpoint: ice cream is yum yum”.

    In that context, going “sex is pleasurable, too, but rape is still wrong” isn’t terribly out of left field, to me.

    But I get what you mean, for sure.

    I wouldn’t even know where to buy milk that doesn’t come from factory farming.

    I mean, that’s fair – I expect a lot of people don’t or don’t bother to do the research – but that’s still, definitionally, a contextual framework and isn’t universal. The premise that dairy consumption is universally (in all possible circumstances) evil assumes these arguments always apply; and they don’t.

    You can get milk from a cow without harming the cow or violently ripping away her calf. Maybe it’s difficult, etc. But it’s not impossible. So such a universal argument is simply incorrect.
