Fuck you, Linus Torvalds.

What’s wrong with KDE? 😅

If you are using the stock Fairphone OS, you have Google Play Services installed. /e/OS comes on the Murena version, or you have to install it.

Sure enough, no login wall from Debian desktop. This is some Android autodetection BS that is realizing I don’t have a Google account on the device and trying to force a login.

Ugh, I neeeed a Linux phone.

Ill bet they detect the Voyager client or Android. Lemme try this from desktop too.

On a non-google android (Fairphone 6, e/OS) this is what I am forcibly redirected to every time.

Do you have google play services on your device?

You have to login to see their patents? Lol.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahha…

deep breath

Hahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha…

Fuck off you twat. Your chatbots are stupid.

Login with your mom 🤣

Complying with this shit is nuts.

Is there an Arch fork that is not implementing this shit or do I have to go non systemd now? Because this BS is not going on any of my machines.

Magic link is lazy 2fa.

Implement TOTP support, you lazy fucks.

Personally, I think this first response nails it.

Linux is not sold. So you either need to force users to install this on their systems, or go eat rocks.

Enterprise distros on the other hand… Need to do this.

Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

Lol, lost the internet because they have less DCs?

Meanwhile most of America is still on dialup or early 2000s broadband speeds.

This is a fucking shallow definition of winning.

Working hardware drivers. Stable phone and SMs applications.

Have yet to see either on any Linux Distro for Fairphone
