I haven’t done it on Android, but you get to do remote debugging through Safari on a Mac when you plug in a developer-enabled iPhone.

I’d expect Chrome and Firefox to do the same on Android in sone manner.

I’m a bit torn.

I want there to be diversity and free choice regarding where I get my apps from, so one less choice only strengthens Google’s monopoly.

As a user, Amazon’s app store was just sketchy.

As a developer I don’t want to be submitting every update to yet another store for every release. I have had users mail me and ask to add my app to the Amazon app store, because their device didn’t come with Google’s play store.

They work on both desktop and android versions of Firefox, at least. I haven’t tried other android browsers, but I’d expect it to work.

I like to make bookmarklets for these kind of things.

Just make a page with a link that runs a javascript snippet. Drag that link to your bookmark bar, and you have a new action button. Firefox syncs them from desktop to mobile, there’s probably a way to add them straight on your mobile browser, too.

The snippet could post the current URL, post what you’ve currently selected. Tinyurl has an example for creating a tinyurl from where you are - probably a good starting point.

I’ve got one that posts to my personal URL shortener. One that grabs metadata from a ticketing system and makes nice linky markdown in my clipboard for me to paste on slack.

Sweet!

I’m always jealous of EN-ANSI keyboard users who get neat devices like these in their native keyboard layout.

I don’t think I’ve had one in my choice of keyboard layout since the Nokia e70… 20 years ago.

The CMF phone 1 is a lot of phone for little money.

The ‘translate what’s on my screen’ was a thing that google assistant could do around Android 8. I found it very handy when living abroad and not really knowing the language.

That one didn’t use OCR, but could only do text in UI elements. Don’t know why they killed it. Maybe some security reasons caused the API that reads another apps UI elements to be canned.

Consider a Chromebook tablet instead.

They have play store and android apps. I have an aging Lenovo duet with a USI pen which is really nice for sketching. Comes with a keyboard, because that’s how you actually take notes.

MeeGo, then Maemo. It lives on in the successor SailfishOS.

What filesystem do you have on that SD-card? Likely FAT32, which does not support ownership.
