Sorry Google, PostmarketOS will scratch that itch and soon enough eat your lunch: https://postmarketos.org/



I couldn’t get a good understanding if AI will only be used for Frame Generation (which I’m not so enthusiastic about, with its latency and quality issues) or for upscaling too (that I’m quite a fan of).


If you’re interested in Lineage, just check their device page and filter for set top box:

The latest release hints towards F-Droid availability: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/releases/tag/v1.2

Just updating 1.1 APKs would have created issues with incoming F-Droid build.


HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

Features I value:

  • Multilingual typing (as someone who writes EN, PT and dabbles on DE and NL daily, having to check which language I’m on and switch keyboards/layouts every time sucks)
  • Glide typing (with optional closed source library)
  • Clipboard history
  • Comprehensive layout customization
  • Autocorrect (with customizable level of confidence)
  • Emoji selection and history

It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.

Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).

RIP SwiftKey.


If you wanna stick to Fairphone, they maintain a de-googled version of the OS, the Fairphone Open (only open source code): https://code.fairphone.com/projects/fairphone-2/fairphone-open.html


Appears to be a useful app, with a plaetora of features, but gathers your personal data, including voice, just to sell it to the highest bidder, all under the umbrella of an ads platform (which is also a very sketchy business).

Yup, sounds like a virus to me.


… supports DLSS3, a more modern upscaler that is compatible with more recent Nvidia cards.

Gotta love errors in tech articles.


Just thinking out loud: could you move the yuzu data folder to a place that Syncthing can access and create a symlink from the original to the new location?

I think the biggest problem would be file ownership/permissions, but otherwise should work.


Additionally, you would have to uninstall and reinstall the app after you’re effectively out of beta.

I don’t think that the Play Store would ever downgrade an app version, as Android doesn’t allow that.
