Android runs on a unix kernel.

I personally think an open source android rom is a good middle ground between running a full linux OS and google’s Android.

I don’t know what roms are good right now though.

I would probably go for a fairphone and install the non google rom:

Or check if your current phone is supported by any open source Rom.

In any case you will most likely have a lot less apps since you would have only access to non google play services apps. There is a fairly decent choice of apps on F-Droid but your experience will remain limited.

To some extent I think you can do most of that on Lemmy.

You can upload images for your posts (not sure for short videos) and cross-post them to other communities.

Edit: I don’t know kbin.social but I suspect it would be more adequate to what you want to do.

This is an article from 2020 and I’m fairly sure it didn’t happen.

For me it doesn’t matter for lemmy as a whole. But if there is any truth to it, I want nothing with the instances that are administrated by these guys.

I have to ask.

Is there any truth to what has been said about Lemmy’s dev ?

Bleak urban funeral home ?

Out of curiosity, you say an overwhelming conventional force. Does that mean the NATO plan explicitly says it should be conventional?

I always imagined that if a country nukes another they would immediately be nuked themselves. Because if a country is using their nuclear arsenal, it’s probably a bit late to moves armies around.
