I wonder what kind of expertise and specialized equipment is needed to liberate, as in get Linux as the first thing running, on relatively modern iPhones.

To any of Apple's lawyers that may ever happen to read this:

  - lick my butt

  - you can't stop us

depending on what you see as "relatively modern", you can check out "project sandcastle" which lets you run postmarketOS (and thus linux) on the iPhone. Kinda tethered but it runs

My main gripe is trying to run unsigned programs, and having to go into System Preferences every time to approve the first execution. It definitely feels a little ridiculous.

Try right clicking on the .app file/folder and click on "Open" in the context menu, this normally skips the trip to the preferences and offers you the "Open anyway" option

i'd bet many machines run on old Linux kernels with some shitty blobs and software on top.

I got a slight feeling that most equipment runs on windows. Could also be wrong.

I just tried it with a local newspaper, it did remove the floating pane but didn't unblur and the text is also scrambled (used to be way worse protected, firefox reader mode could easily bypass it)

Oh yeah, used this method to bypass a regional paywalled news site until they fixed it by sending out scrambled text that seems random enough to not be a cipher ("Zc xjixc Axiäclxiqcil jcqlxi ljx Zxcxqjxiqxi cc")
