I recently learned about it from Benn Jordan – I think his anarchism video referenced both Metastatic and Reticulum. They’ve kinda been stuck in my head since I have a unihertz atom phone that’s supposed to have built in radio (400-480mhz). Was thinking I might see if I can set something up on that. I’m sure someone has already set something up on android, but I haven’t made the time yet.

My advice is to switch each of your programs to the open source version one by one before you switch to a new operating system. It lowers the barrier since there’s less new stuff to learn at any given point of the process. Also, linux-for-windows subsystem if you’re on windows – then go to mint instead of Ubuntu. If your on apple, learn the terminal there, then go to Ubuntu.

It’s wild that people politicians think they’re going to legislate linux into age verification – as if the community isn’t half DIY techies who’d sooner set up shop in international waters than change their preferred settings.
