I killed my own ssh session twice with pkill -f, because the pattern matched the command line containing it.

i have owned nearly every Google phone since the G1. i will not be purchasing any future devices from them unless they change course.

What will you purchase instead? It sucks that the modern smartphone OS market is a duopoly.

The Motorola one, when it comes with GrapheneOS!

Fairphones are easy to unlock, repairable, have a long lifetime and offer a variety of different operating system distributions.

Fairphone with its 8-year updates, swappable battery, and decent repairability is great for those of us who doesn't like to be forced to change phones often. I'm not sure, however, what variety of distributions you mean. It supports 1 Android, and 1 de-googled Android. Which isn't bad at all, but still doesn't sound like "variety".

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_mobile_pho...) lists /e/OS, CalyxOS, IodéOS, LineageOS, postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch, the latter two being non-Android, the rest Android derivatives on Fairphone 5. Fairphone 6 has only /e/OS and IodéOS listed at the moment, but that will probably change after some time on the market.

There are also various reports of things like running e.g. Fedora on an FP6, https://www.notebookcheck.net/Fairphone-6-turns-into-a-Linux... or Debian on FP4/5, but those generally aren't something that is usable due to lacking support for basic things like calls.

It also supports PostmarketOS. This post made it to HN yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49338285

They just launched it in the USA a couple of days ago! Link to HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49344811

Oh, nice!

It's been possible to buy Fairphone indirectly in the US for quite some time, as I understand.

Fairphone have just announced direct sales within the past week or so (noted by others here).

Since they're saying "Google phone", not "Android phone", I imagine the next purchase could be a Samsung or such.

Comments elsewhere in this thread say other major brands are even more locked down.

Edit:

> With One UI 8, Samsung removed the OEM-unlocking capability globally,

> Samsung uses a physical Knox Warranty Bit/e-fuse. Loading unofficial software can permanently trip it.

This seems far worse than google releasing source slowly

Samsung was a bad example of a plausible alternative, yes.

If you want GrapheneOS, the only other option, still pending, is Motorolla.

A partnership was announced earlier this year, but no devices will be delivered until 2027.

@danielhanchen may be able to answer this

these links never work for me. always "Error: Enter a valid URL" when opening in Firefox. maybe a URL escape issue with Glider?

Can confirm. Also use glider which seems to double encode. I have to open the comment in Firefox/browser and then click on the link

Is this really the right place to bring up an issue with a 3rd party frontend for HN?

to be honest, i hadn't affirmatively diagnosed, but i'm glad i mentioned it because another Glider user corroborated!

my firefox works

lightning is sparse, glimmer is dense

Oh, good to know, I just quickly tested and published the results.

I will add model sizes (total/active params) for each model, good point.

seems to underperform on Terminal Bench compared with qwen3.6-27b: 51.7 vs 60.7

To be honest, I never give benchmarks a look. I just use the models for whatever I need to work on, so I can't really make comparisons that are useful for other people.

sometime in the energy sector once told me "the solution to pollution is dilution"

If we all just get a little cancer instead of some people getting a LOT of cancer then Amazon will be able to power its robot factories!

Which is nonsense. There's plenty of pollution that's been diluted as much as it possibly can be and is still problematic. CO2 is an obvious example. Or consider leaded gasoline or mercury. You have to be careful not to eat too much fish or you'll have trouble with the mercury in it. That's been diluted by the entire ocean and that didn't solve it.

They meant "to not get caught, we just dilute".

*someone in the energy sector

also, i don't necessarily mean to endorse this worldview in terms of its potential impact on policy, though there may be some truth to it, technically speaking.

uh, that’s nonsense.

co2 is problematic because of concentration - the sheer volume.

leaded gas and mercury are a problem because of bio-concentration.

dilution still helps!

Of course it helps, but where are you going to dilute more co2 these days?

bulk volume is a different problem from concentration

when people suffocate in the fire from CO2 - that's concentration

and dilution helps people to not literally die from that

global warming due to CO2 levels everywhere is entirely different problem. (and if we could dilute CO2 into the space, it would also be solved, lol)

that is exactly the issue. still worse 6” from the tailpipe.

The quip doesn't say "dilution helps." It says "the solution to pollution is dilution." Dilution solves the problem. And not only that, but it's the solution, not merely a solution.

This is just not true, and you seem to agree with that.

Yes, CO2 is problematic because of the sheer volume. The sheer volume means that dilution does not solve the problem.

Leaded gas and mercury are a problem because of bio-concentration. Which means that dilution does not solve the problem.

pi also installs and runs just fine

Cool

this seems to be an advertisement for Modal. is it really your own infrastructure if the hardware is leased?

sounds like Japan
