Traditionally, open source licenses have been enforced through the law of copyright.

However, arguably, open source licenses could also be enforced through the law of contracts.

Contracts can—under certain conditions—be enforced by third parties. Because they benefit from the contract, they can sometimes enforce the contract.

Thanks to Software Freedom Conservancy, this is probably the next best legal hack after #copyleft itself.

If you are looking to buy a new phone, consider #FLX1 from @furilabs. You can still run Android apps if you need to, but for most things you can use the same apps that you use on laptop (many of them adapted to fit on a smaller screen like I'm using Firefox right now). FuriOS is based on #Debian #Trixie. I have a Purism Librem 5, but most people in my circle find it very expensive/unaffordable, but FLX1 is very much comparable price to most Android phones of similar spec. #FreeSoftware.

Thanks to the bits and pieces collected by @isyourbrainFOSS we can now support the alert slider on the #Onplus6/6T to toggle #feedbackd's full/quiet/silent profiles.

@publiclewdness The checkbox to encrypt the installation is only visible when selecting the automated options in the partitions module, such as Erase disk or Replace partition. When selecting Manual partitioning, the user must use a new partition—not edit an existing partition—to make the checkbox visible in the individual partition setup window.

@Nitrux_NX

Have you noticed that in the most recent .iso there is no option for full disk encryption during install ? The check box is simply not there on the page where you chose your disk and partitions. I booted up an earlier .iso and it was there. Did I just miss it or was it moved ?
