They use a custom-made Firejail-based solution called SailJail: https://github.com/sailfishos/sailjail

Yes, both (official) SailfishOS and FLX1 offer decent/good Android app support. Not every app will work, but when I have needed Android (rarely, for basic stuff), the applications …

I'm not familiar with postmarket, but I imagine it shares a lot of the same phosh+GNOME app ecosystem, in which case, the apps aren't in a better state. In terms of polish and app/…

Yes, I used SailfishOS as a daily driver since ~2014 until last year when I moved to the Furi FLX1. The FLX1 has been my daily driver since. SailfishOS is much more polished, but i…

>Is there a single Linux phone/tablet that can last an 8 hour day of actual use? What's "actual use"? Furi FLX1 has the best battery life I've seen on a Linux phone. Idling, it las…

>I found it very noticeable how similar the text of actions was between MUDs and EverQuest This was discussed in the recently posted Everquest article: https://www.filfre.net/2025/…

How do you expect W4 games (or any other porter) to release FOSS exporters to proprietary consoles, when they rely on SDKs that are covered by an NDA?

Here's a list of other 3rd party porters: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/platform/co... Stop spreading FUD. It's FOSS. It's like saying contributing to systemd li…

IMO, yes it is complete enough (note: I only went as far as the assembler challenges, I'd done enough assembler beforehand). But I did build a general purpose computer from NAND ga…

There's a gamified version of nand2tetris available on Steam called "Turing Complete" ( https://turingcomplete.game ). I completed it up until the assembler challenges, and I felt …

A huge number of developers started in HTMl/CSS/JS because it was a super-low barrier to entry. I also know a huge number of professional developers that started off as teenagers t…

>The real problem are mobile operating system There's SailfishOS. It still uses Android kernel+drivers, but above that it's a "real" GNU/Linux system (glibc, systemd, bash, Qt, con…

>There is still no real Linux (or any kind of FOSS) mobile-oriented userapplication scene. Disagree. openrepos.net has existed for (more than?) 10 years. It's not huge, but it does…

>Spectrum is garbage and ZX81 is even more garbage... especially when considering that Commodore 64 was only slightly more expensive. Jack Tramiel (owner of Commodore) was hugely i…

I've wanted something like this but for "screen" for a long time. Does anyone have such a solution?

Appreciate the effort the article author put in, but I'll be contrarian here (in the hopes of saving people time) and say that I think this is the wrong approach to take to getting…

SailfishOS is officially supported on a number of different Sony mobiles (e.g. X, XA2 range, 10 and 10 II ranges). All these devices continue to receive updates. SailfishOS is not …

Wow, very sad. I remember listening to Accordion[1] for the first time and thinking it sounded like no hiphop I'd heard before (no chorus, really unconventional song structure, den…

In my opinion the shift from desktop to mobile across the wider industry took the wind out of Gnome's sails (and desktops in general, no matter the platform). It feels like there's…

A simple one, that perhaps doesn't scale (unless you open multiple gyms) is to provide a boxing/MMA/BJJ gym with good coaches. It's so cliche, but giving teens a physical outlet, w…

I use the Xperia X. Newer phones are supported (e.g. XA2), and I'm speculating here, but I imagine even newer phones are in the pipeline (e.g. Xperia 10 II). I don't recommend Sail…

This is why I use SailfishOS. Modern Android and iOS are so insanely complex, it seems impossible to do the simplest things with code. Yes you can root your phone, and you have acc…

That's only part of the solution. Energy generation makes up ~25% of emissions, agriculture, manufacturing, transport, etc. make up the other 75%. All of these will increase as the…
