That’s the intent, at least:
Are you intending to ship a (close to) mainline kernel, or a Board Support Package (BSP)/vendor kernel and make it work with a libhybris/Halium approach?
We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.
Don’t Equifax, Experian and Transunion already have that?
At least they have enough info about where you lived, what credit cards you had, what loans you had, what vehicles you owned, enough to be used as “verification” to prove your identity.
Organic Maps / CoMaps is not some corporate platform, you “migrating” to them does not gain them anything. If you have a constructive suggestion, open an issue or contact them.
I have not heard of USB-C wearing out yet. What devices are those? Have to be new enough to have USB-C.
Thanks for pointing this out. The list is made by a scraper (and I haven’t updated it in a few months), so it probably missed some models depending on the model code.
Thanks for reposting, I subscribed to this community too.
postmarketOS is fully Linux (based on Alpine Linux) Choose this for more technical projects or if you want your phone to be like Raspberry Pi++.
LineageOS is a clean Android. Choose this for Android experience.
That would be great and I might add a scraper for xdaforums, but even XDA has a lot of dead links for old devices now.
forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider
Whose CEO publicly stated that “Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses”. Oh, the irony.
I run GrapheneOS and can send RCS to both Androids and iPhones mostly without issues. But then, my GrapheneOS is still the actively supported version, so I don’t know what will happen in a few years.
The only reason I have Google Messages is for RCS.
.NET applications using .NET Core or later are intended to be cross-platform, so technically, Linux can run .NET apps. (The use-case I know is running .NET sites on Linux servers)
Not looking for a dumbphone at the moment, but
There’s a KaiOS jailbreaking community … I’ve seen an XMPP client and a Matrix one too.
This is good and opens up a path for using other messengers via bridges.
Right… My favorite “promise” so far was the Tesla SpaceX edition (with rocket boosters or microjets or some shit, IDK doesn’t make sense) and die-hard fans defending this PR stunt as “the car that might fly”.
I don’t find it difficult, and have enjoyed sxmo on the PinePhone. I understand the suckless approach, but I do have to admit that many people that I know, even tech-savvy ones, probably would not want to rebuild to configure something.
To configure most suckless tools you need to… recompile them. The readme says:
Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
But if you are trying to compile suckless tools, you are already in too deep.
Plus, AFAIK, Purism is one of the few companies that pays their developers to write FOSS code, which produced the Phosh UI, basic call and text apps, and mobile-friendly UI library.
By “nonstandard SIM” do you mean one of two common SIM sizes that are not “nano”, which is preferred by current phones?
GNSS means it’s global. Which includes US GPS, as well as Europe’s Galileo, Russia’s GLONASS, and China’s BeiDou. Wikipedia
Has been since 2018, and acquisition news caused quite an upset at the time.
IMO the best on-boarding I have seen in a chat app. Just scan each other’s QR codes or click a link. No account management because ID is unique to each conversation.
Signal and WhatsApp need a phone number, Matrix/Element is needlessly messy, XMPP/Conversations is sensible IIRC (ID + password)
