@left_adjoint smartphones are TV for the eyes. I've been building up my personal OS setup from the terminal and it's so nice go be able to know everything going on on it and being able to cut out the BS. Personal computing on the go is possible but such a time sink

@mauve @left_adjoint What you're doing might be exactly what I'm looking for as an option. I mean, you think I'd want to give a child one of these things? They might as well be remote authoritarian devices. *thinks of Star Trek tri-corders telling everybody what they need to be doing from their pockets* 😩

@Filene @left_adjoint it's a major pain in the ass at first but I'd suggest someone play with a friendly linux that does everything for you for a bit, then dive down to a tty-only install and slowly build up a wayland desktop with like sway or niri. Having a second device for searching up how the fuck to do wifi from a TUI is handy for the first while

@mauve @left_adjoint that's difficult for me and a lot of people, but i think XR can help by having even more space than a desktop in which to set things up, synoptic diagrams and such could let you see your computers' systems in context and rewire them using your hands easily...

i believe anyone can operate a complex computer setup as long as it's designed well and it shows all the relevant information in 1 place, real world interactions are much more complex than computer interactions yet computer interactions are often harder because the design is separated from many of our senses like proprioception...

@mauve @left_adjoint How do you handle the firmware/driver issue?
