KDE is working on a unified on screen keyboard across all their desktop environments. Gnome has apsirstions for something similar for gtk. Intrgrating into these efforts?

That’s crazy!

Anyone know the new best place to get French content? It wasn’t perfect, but it was the only place I could find many French shows, movies. A lot of places have only the English version, or don’t have it at all (French only)

I use Gourmand on desktop and Tournat on Android. Most feature rich recipe apps

😂🃏

I had a trusty note as well around that generation, they were truly some of the best phones, eh? I upgraded to the Moto G Stylus to have a modern take on the form factor

Google has no incentive to walk back, especially given what they saw Apple has been able to get away with on their end. And as we’ve seen with AOSP publishing delays, device tree information restrictions, locked bootloaders, they are making it increasingly hard for Android to be an OS that can be forked and installed on devices, let alone for you to install your own software.

The community ought to prepare for the realities of this, and put mitigation measures in place. Valve saw the similar direction Windows is going years ago, and made the same decision: GNU/Linux is the next best truly open/free-as-in-freedom experience, and we should all aim to use and improve that ecosystem on smaller form factors. Waydroid/ATL can act as temporary bridges for both developers and users alike while native binaries are ported.

If you’re making new apps, target to develop with qt/qml + rust so it can run on the only GNU/Linux equivalent of Android WearOS, AsteroidOS. This let’s you deploy one codebase on watches, phones, tablets, and computers screen sizes with a convergent design.

Nice, this looks like a good solution that could be solved with a script. The other solution I was thinking might work but would also require a script to get per channel url updates is from iptvcat.com

I tried thetvapp.to on a few devices recently and couldn’t get it working and previously found it struggled with big sport events, it was one of my go to’s. Is it working still on your end?

If it has a headphone jack, you can plug in a dummy aux port. I’m convinced that the removal of the headphone jack was to ensure the microphones are always reachable

Everytime I see stuff like this I’m thankful most of my devices (hopefully all one day) either have cameras/microphones that have hardware kill switches (HKS), or can be unplugged from the device

Israel & their Offence Forces have no respect for non-Israelite Canadians or our peacekeepers. Simple as that.

You could try installing Samsung’s Tizen GNU/Linux OS via Termux and let us know how it goes.

To my understanding, they have the same looking UI such that if Samsung ever wanted to move customers over from Android everything would look familar, without their customers knowing it’s a different OS under the hood.

I’m sure it’s possible, but you’d need a device specifically supported by the distro, you’d probably need a custom bootloader, among other things that make it not as easy as doing dual-boot on a less locked down device. It’s probably harder on purpose by Google.

Oh yes good point, forgot about those. I will update the post so more people know about these options

Dat shit cray. My grampa has no idea how to use a mobile phone so he just doesn’t have one. Thankfully no such requirements where we live

Fair enough 😆

If you have a SIP provider, this can be hooked up to the GNOME Calls app, and GNOME Chats lets you connect to XMPP and Matrix. Not everyone will have those, but it is one step above the native Android & iOS apps in that you can actually use them without telephony.

They have better wake mechanisms than something like Signal Desktop, Element Desktop etc do currently.

You’re right in that you will not be able to forward calls and texts from Android to your app-based Linux distro call and text apps, but internet-based apps should work.

This method is how the Nexphone provides a GNU/Linux environment
