Locking the bootloader (sh.itjust.works)

I've been looking through the documentation and installation guides for PostmarketOS, and I've noticed there seems to be no mention of locking the bootloader after flashing.

Is that because there's no issue with doing so, or because you can't?

I'm looking at installing on a Fairphone 5, but anyone with any device that's able to share their experience would be appreciated.

I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation by med in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yes. But also, despite having done it literally thousands of times, I still can't tell you which way round to put the target and the link name for a softlink on the first go.

My first guess is always

ln -s $NAME $TARGET

No amount of repetition will fix this.

Justice Department accuses Visa of debit network monopoly that impacts price of 'nearly everything’ by med in c/news@lemmy.world

According to Cory Doctorow, Rupert Murdoch owned newspapers have made over 100 editorials attempting to smear Lina Khan at the FTC. A cursory google search seems to corroborate this assertion.

I'm inclined to agree that there's nothing 'election year' about these cases, and that real work is being done to claw back some measure of control from these monopolies.

LineageOS 21 now officially supports the Nintendo Switch by med in c/android@lemmy.world

The time it took you to write this would have been better spent reading the article:

Because Android isn’t technically “installed” on the Switch, but rather an external microSD card, you can switch between the default system and Lineage at any time.

Running Lineage is a big deal for those of us who have a switch laying around that no longer have a use for it.

It can be an android tv device replacement
Buy a $20 goose neck tablet mount, and now it's a way to play streamed steam games or use the android tv jellyfin client to watch/play stuff without using the main TV
Bedside clock/radio with loads of extra features
Dedicated HomeAssistant remote

Or, the basic use case - Play emulated games on a neat handheld package with a decent screen on a plane or something, without needing to carry or buy another device.
