@debacle @sturmsucht @urbanprivacy @xmpp
Schon mal #deltachat in Betracht gezogen?
Bietet ähnlichen Funktionsumfang wie #Whatsapp #Signal #SignalApp und nutzt dafür aber Standard Internet Protokolle (Email Standards) für #E2EE über sog. chat relays. Diese speichern nur kurzfristig die (immer verschlüsselten) Nachrichten.
#deltachat läuft nicht nur auf #Android oder #iOS sondern auch unter #linux #macos #ubuntutouch oder wer unbedingt will auch #windoof
Man kann es gleichzeitig auf mehreren Geräten nutzen. Außerdem unterstützt es mehrere Profile.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

Ars Technica · Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releasesBy Ryan Whitwam

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin

@insl Generally yes, but while you can package everything into a .deb, getting it accepted into #Debian (and I assume similar for #Devuan) is a different thing. There's a reason why the #UbuntuTouch @ubports people were super happy and proud when they managed to get Lomiri accepted into Debian; and it's that reason why GNOME Shell Mobile is not in @mobian (afaik).

Maybe Debian/Mobian contributors can chime in here :-)

I just deployed a new version of disco2very.org which includes updated data from #ademe as well as the "Practical use cases" category.

It's also packaged for #ubuntutouch by @ubports if you want: open-store.io/app/disco2very.f

I still have an issue with the drag&drop of cards which is not as smooth as it should, but once fixed we should not be too far from a 1.0 version 🙂

The disCO2very logo, featuring a molecule of CO2.
disCO2verydisCO2verydisCO2very is a free game to discover the orders of magnitude of the CO2 footprint

as some might recall, we were working on a feature to allow multi booting different systems easily and without any hassle ( partitioning etc).

around that time we started to get in contact with known porters of different systems such as #UbuntuTouch and #sailfishos

after much effort and work, i can confidently say that the #flx1 will be added to the #UBports installer and OTA server soon allowing allow bare metal and multi boot installs!
