That’s what I’m actually afraid of
Hopefully Linux can soon step up and fill the gap.

On a site note:
I’ve pre-ordered the new jolla phone in hopes to have pretty much a Linux phone with Android app compatibility layer.
But since my pre-order I haven’t heard anything about it anymore and I can’t find a blog/news page providing any information about progress or something.
Maybe people in this thread are similarly inclined to Linux phones and have a link for me…?
I’ve already sent a mail to Jolla about that - but just today…

I don’t think so either, but at the current level off stupidity all around, I would like to have something at face value

I pre ordered the new jolla phone, but since then I haven’t heard anything.
Hopefully this will give me a phone with Linux and Android app compatibility layer, until there is more competition in this sector

Do you have to go through this procedure for every APK or just once?
If it’s for every side loaded app, does this include updates of already installed APKs? That would make the system actual more insecure

The whole idea of ID/age verification on OS level is complete bullshit anyway

Just another (big) step to mass surveillance

Codeberg

Fuck github - since Microsoft bought it

Nice picture, but is there also some link to an actual article?
At least in my client, it only shows the picture :⁠-⁠\

I have one as a media server

Does it run on Linux?

Yeah, they don’t even trust themselves!
Also just looking for falsification…

How does one look cool with that shit keyboard and headset?

Saddest thing ever that it got killed in the first place

Yeah, stupidly checked after posting…

Although it shows up to be compiled for an earlier Android version and might not be compatible

Well, at least an option more… ;⁠-⁠)

FlashDim on F-Droid can do this as well, if you look for an open source option (don’t know Torchie, maybe it’s OSS as well, then I at least brought up another option)

Pixel 7 Pro on GrapheneOS
No issues. Been using Firefox on mobile and especially Linux since ever

This seems to kill my USB C Port, as the dongle is attached while I move around and I’ve already destroyed 2 USB C DACs and 1 phone port.

I have switched to Bluetooth because of that, but a headphone jack would be really nice, because I do have some custom in-ears and some nice over-ears around, which I now never use…

Thanks, will check it out!

Edit: just started the first pages and it reads great!
Thank you very much for the recommendation :⁠-⁠)

Any good book recommendations?
I’ve just started reading more since a month or so as well, but I’m having trouble finding good books - especially sci-fi stuff

I read the children of time books (2 of 3) and although the idea is cool, the writing style and also the (later) story itself isn’t really good.

So I’ve looked into the Foundation series from Asimov. I started with the prelude and went on to the second book, but after Dune it feels very shallow and somehow written like an action movie (with easy/stupid solutions)

Isn’t really the thread topic, but if your have any good books in mind, I would really appreciate it :⁠-⁠)
