"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I thought the entire point of Postmarket was to extend the life of older phones???
Edit: Yeah, it is. The list of supported phones has 3 Linux-first phones, and all the rest are just standard android phones that you then have to flash and install Linux onto

That device list is much bigger than it used to be! Good on them. Sadly, it doesn't look like many/most of those devices are still usable except to tinker. I imagine it was just devices that devs had handy. I'm quite impressed that they got it working on the SGS III.
