Is there a fork of MuseScore too (the same devs, I think)?

Buying a used phone does save resources and stops potential e-waste though.

Plus with an older phone there’s more likelihood that an alternative OS is available.

67% of phones are made in China.* Many for Western companies. Using parts and materials sourced from around the world.

I guess it depends on what operating system you decide to use…

(There’s also Shift who make a similar product : https://www.shiftphones.com/en/)

Perhaps partially. But growing and producing more stuff locally would be better. And perhaps learning to go without stuff out of season might be good both for us and for the planet.

FWIW I’m still very much an advocate of the Mark Shuttleworth Convergence vision. It’s the Holy Grail that makes sense to me.

:) Thank you. Yes Mail in a box has been around for a while. Still not straightforward, though.

Hehe You answered your own statement! If it were ever to become non-trivial : I’d certainly do it (even though I know people who do, are bombarded with spam).

Yes… I guess if someone were to only use Tox, the device they were using it on would have to be on all the time, with one of the Tox clients running at least in the background.

Addendum At least you know when the other person is online… There’s some advantage to that.

They’re kept on other people’s servers, is what I meant.

I’ve wondered before now about an e-mail system which hosts the emails on one’s own device, and uses the activity-pub protocol : decentralised email, I guess…

The closest I’ve seen is Tox.

It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.

Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk

There are RISC-V cores, whose designs have been published, which are capable of running a lightweight Linux distro, and even SBCs with them on. T-Head’s C906 on the Nezha board is an example.

Pure speculation : the idea of open source sells. It’s more appealing than the alternative.
