Lawnchair is GOATed, especially after nova sold out

Got a 486 DX4 to sell you 🤣

For anybody else looking for alternative solutions, there’s Native Alpha on IzzyOnDroid

It will make the search even harder, but I’d recommend to add “removable battery” to the list.

My only gripe with GrayJay is the lack of proper rotation support. On a phone might be fine, but on a bedside tablet I’d like to be able to use the whole thing in landscape orientation. And no, the experimental landscape mode under options refuses to rotate the main feed screens…

Bonus points if it’d allow me to use the 180° rotation so I can leave the tablet upside down on its stand and charge it while using it

Think of it as a very generous unlimited trial, kinda like winrar but without the nag screen.

I’d say keep that machine as is, and whenever you build a new one, just put whichever distro you like. If possible I’d roll back to win10 and after support ends, keep that machine VLAN’d off the internet. This way you turn it into a music production appliance without disrupting your workflow

Who would dare to ask why

If you’re on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it’s a mess

Safari is the new ie6

Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

Librera reader off f-droid works great for me

IIRC Uber has patented dynamic pricing based on a ton of data, including your phone battery being low. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hiked your fare just because you were on the car shop.

Obviously they say its not in use but who could check

I’m on vacation and my shitty Chromebook made me rediscover how atmospheric Diablo 1 was. I’m using DevilutionX source port, pretty good IMO.

Just nextcloud will do. Get Davx5 from f-droid and give it a long term login (on NC settings > security). It’ll sync contacts, calendar events, tasks, etc on its own

Dangit, misread outer wilds… Thanks for the freebie heads up tho!

As a non pixel user I’m locked out of options like Graphene, but /e/ has been a great daily driver for me for over 2 to 3 years.

Since now I’m on a decent powerful phone, I can leverage android’s work profile (via Insular app) to keep a few annoying apps happy with MicroG. The main portion of my phone has it disabled and you can really tell the drain play services (even if used indirectly via microG) has on battery life.

I’m doing my part.

Ffs i only olayed one match of Starship Troopers… Im getting dismembered by an oversized animstronic alien ant

It’s more of an action platformer, but a little obscure NES game from my childhood that deserves a loy more of attention: Vice Project Doom

I’m using TelegramFOSS right off F-droid and until I read this thread I didn’t even know there was a stories feature

Agreed. I’m in the same way mad as how quickly Canonical dropped support for ubuntu touch. Still lives as ubports but its not enough, as much as I appreciate the community effort, these kinds of things need a company that can liason with manufacturers for widespread support.

FirefoxOS lives on as KaiOS

You can fight physics tho: better batteries, more efficient LEDs on screens, lower size fab chips, more integration of components…

That being said as much as I wanted a zenphone10 I’m glad I didn’t pull the trigger, after reading they’re blocking users the ability to unlock their phones.

In almost every phone I’ve put a custom ROM, I’ve gained significant performance and battery life

Oh wow thats super neat, thanks for the info!

Kenshi pretty much fits that request a 100%

The main drive for normies is avoiding friction. From chat platforms to the phone brand or OS, they simply don’t want to learn something new, unless “everyone’s using it”.

The only reason that people stick to GAFAM is because it’s made super convenient, no learning required, and if there’s a problem or limitation, they can bypass it for a few bucks per month.

I’m all in for a decentralized self-hosted future, but the barrier to entry right now is too high for the average normie.

just a PSA, remember you can still use Lemmy as a PWA (“install” lemmy.world from safari as a shortcut)
