Okay it appears I never actually unlocked, just prepared for it. Still have to enter my unlock key...
bit excited and too fast, gotta hold my horses...

minor setback: I ran the flashing script in terminal, but it tells me that my bootloader is not unlocked.
Do I have to unlock it again? Did that earlier today... gonna investigate... 🤔

And it's blue! 💙
(really had to push the volume up button _while_ plugging in the micro USB)

Hmm... Sony LED should be blue to continue, but it's orange... still, the screen says USB debugging is activated. What to do? 😕
Guess I'll go unpack something first...

Downloaded and unpacked vendor binary image – I went for version 16, Sailfish still seems to have problems with the newer version 17b (weaker WiFi in some instances).

Confusing Sony Open Devices instructions a little disheartening, but then I had to fill out a Google Captcha 👺 – ahh thanks, that little shot of anger is motivating af – and got my unlock code! 😤

#FuckOffGoogle

So here goes:

I already downloaded the free Sailfish Os version.

I'll be working from my Linux Thinkpad running #elementaryOS, so I'm installing fastboot tools for #Ubuntu.

So I'll be going through the step-by-step instructions by Jolla and Sony – if I succeed, I'll know how it's done an can help others in the future! 💪

Daughter will be getting my beloved Aqua Fish phone from #India for Christmas, so I'll be needing a new daily driver.

On the Aqua Fish, #SailfishOS was preinstalled (I'm fortunate enough to never have used Google or Apple phones), but now I will have to flash myself I want to keep using it.

Dear followers and new arrivals from #India: once you have settled in, I would love to be educated about current Indian #comics that you love.

Not necessarily of the Amar Chitra Katha kind (where the gods are fair-skinned and the darker demons sport Muslim-style beards), but unique voices like [i]A Gardener in the Wasteland[/i], political work like [i]Kashmir Pending[/i], or queer fiction like [i]Kari[/i], be it print or webcomic.

Thank you!

Abandoned website header design.

Trying to coin a term for being mindful about the effects your digital behaviour has on others, like:

• not having a #Gmail account
• uploading files to #Nextcloud, not #Dropbox
• using #Invidious when linking to #YouTube videos etc.

It’s not “digital mindfulness” (that’s when you turn off your device for your own sake), and „digital solidarity” doesn’t seem right, either. Maybe something like “ethical XYZ”…?

Is there such a word? We need such a word! 🤔
