as a NixOS-on-Pinephone user i 100% support funding upstreaming efforts 😉 that’s the type of thing which can have really broad reach. you’d never know it unless you were specifically looking for it, but we’ve also got people maintaining those OpenEmbedded musl+systemd patches for our distro (along with way too many other non-musl systemd patches: like you point out, it’s just not the type of thing that gets cleaned up without some focused effort like this).
worth noting that Pinephone does boot against unpatched mainline (i.e. kernel.org) kernel. it’ll boot to a DE with graphics and touch working, but you lose WiFi/bluetooth, inherit some quirks with the backlight, proximity sensor, etc. no idea about the modem or audio.
i use the web client through Tangram, which is just a web browser (webkitgtk) with UX tailored to hosting web apps.

+1 for Darknet Diaries. got anything else to recommend in that nerdy/edgy genre of story telling?
the first three are all tightly scripted storytelling: generally non-fiction, but exciting or interesting. sorted by general audience -> niche audience.
the next three edge into political territory, sorted from politically-adjacent to 100% political (not punditry):
Lex Fridman is if Joe Rogan was hosted by someone who actually did his research upfront, planned out his questions, and chose guests that are less divisive, and more academic or entrepreneurial.
if you listen to any of these, please leave a recommendation for something similar you think i would like! ❤️
John Oliver hosts a political talkshow. that’s fine if you’re showing off a specific Lemmy instance or community, but if your goal is to show off Lemmy as a platform, doing so with that topic is a recipe for disaster.
oh wow, often these efforts are limited to either a single metro area, or to those parts of Europe that are all well-connected to eachother but scrolling the database i see routes for every continent (i mean, except for Antarctica) 💛
