A lynx for the modern age?
Have you tried https://brutaldon.org?
Or perhaps you're the type of person that'd be willing to self host https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 or https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk?
DFRI are working towards a FOSS solution[1].
I'm not too fond of the term either, but I think that's because it got gentrified and somewhat misunderstood. Everything personal on the web was suddenly a garden.
> But yeah, if someone want to own the definition of blog and digital garden and not accepting a certain overlap with "personal website", sure.
Of course there's a overlap. My point was not that the listed sites had to fulfill the criteria for classification, but if there's not a single hint of gardening going on, then we might as well call en.wikipedia.org a blog?
Also, is a website "personal" if it's just there to market your services? Sure, it's personal as in your website, but content wise it's not particularly personal. Gardens or personal wikis are usually not there to market services, but to build some kind of personal knowledge base (that other nerds, not employers, might find interesting).
> If you are putting an effort to curate and grow your own site, is that not a digital garden?
That's really stretching the definition IMO.
What characterizes a garden is the slow growth and constant pruning — the making of a personal wiki. https://indieweb.org/digital_garden and https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history are good intros to gardens.
Most of the websites I visited seemed to be and forget sites targeted at potential employers.
Does the creator not know what a digital garden is?

I see some games can be bought, but I doubt it's big biz. People do lots of things for shits and giggles and out of pure passion.
GrapheneOS installs easily via your desktop web browser with the Pixel device connected via USB.
It could make available only the LLLMs that your Mac is able to run.
Many Silicon owners are sitting on very able hardware without even knowing.
That said. You can order a Pixel with GrapheneOS pre-installed and Google Apps and services can be isolated.
GrapheneOS only works on Pixel devices. Pixel devices are fine. We have reached a point where just about every mid-tier device is fine, really. I run my devices until they are FUBAR or can't be updated due to EOL. EOL for Android (and GrapheneOS) is ~7 years from the release date now.
> it locks you out of a ton of apps people rely on such as banking and money transfer apps.
These can be installed and isolated using work or user profiles in GrapheneOS. Also as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42538853 points out, a lot of work has been put into making Graphene work with banking apps[1].
> You must recognise that it's not a practical solution for most people.
Of course I do. We can act on two levels. We (as a society) can work for regulation and we (computery people) can take direct action by developing and using software and hardware that works in the user's interest. One does not exclude the other.

I find that the popular apps for basic operation from F-Droid do a very good job of not screwing with the user either. I'm talking about DAVx⁵, Etar, Fossify Gallery, K-9/Thunderbird, AntennaPod etc. No nonsense software that does what I want and nothing more.
I've been running deGoogled Android devices for over a decade now for private use and I've been given Apple devices from work during all those years. I still find find the iOS devices to be a terrible computing experience. There's a feeling of being reduced to a mere consumer.
GrapheneOS is the best mobile OS I've ever tried. If you get a Pixel device, it's dead simple to install via your desktop web browser[1] and has been zero maintenance. Really!
This. In Plasma I swap some keys, but when I switch to TTY the keys are not swapped. Frustrating. This should clearly be done at hardware/firmware level.
With latest Firefox stable on https://demo.blackcandy.org. Is this right?
What's maintenance in the context if immutable distros? Running "ujust upgrade"? That's done automatically in the background for my Aurora installation.
Also, they're working on CentOS based LTS versions of Bluefin: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/call-for-testing-bl...
