@nil @foone People have done it; and I can even easily script my phone to work this way 🤪

@xethos Sadly, GTK4 regressed in this area.

@bhearsum Well, it wouldn't "flip its lid" otherwise, that one's purely on you 😄

@bhearsum Is it a 20 years old installation? Not sure how to explain having /dev/sd* instead of UUIDs in fstab otherwise 😜

@williamtries LN920: No audio. Theoretically it may be possible to get VoLTE working, but practically we're very far from being able to do so.

FN920: Same as above, plus no 2G/3G fallback. Not sure why would one want to use it without matching antennas anyway.

@williamtries Oh, glad to see it renders stuff! Back in the day the version of Mir used by UBports was way too old to support split display/render devices with non-linear implicit modifier, so it didn't work on Librem 5. I wanted to check if newer versions deal with it correctly since forever, but never really came around to actually do it:)

@cb @ptrc ejabberd already has Matrix support in its paid version, and it's supposed to move to community version soon

@silmathoron @vantablack You can even use it to talk between two PCs. The list of available plugins may be slightly different though - it is a separate implementation on Android, but in the end they're both just clients for the same protocol.

@vantablack Valent implements the KDE Connect protocol as a GTK4 app; and on Plasma there's... well, KDE Connect 😂

@Suiseiseki No, my reaction when looking at how to integrate a CMake-based NDK app with external deps into F-Droid's build system was "uhm, maybe later".

I do have an F-Droid repo with them though: https://dosowisko.net/fdroid/repo/ ...but there's also plenty of barely-working jam stuff in there so don't expect to be amazed 😂

@tudza "Telling them otherwise" is the hard part. Look at the troubles Conversations (XMPP client) is having with Google Play right now.

Also, it's not some kind of a wide net I've been caught into. Some of my other games are still available, and I see no pattern in ones that got removed (randomly over the years). And the only game I uploaded that's not FOSS and likely does some light analytics (based on Defold engine from before it went source-available) is still there.

POV: a few years ago you uploaded a bunch of games into Google Play that:
- are fully Free Software
- don't gather any user data
- are fully local, no ads
- are complete and finished
- don't really need updating.

One of the games was removed because of "missing privacy policy". Others - I don't even know, they didn't bother to tell me 😜 Seems like the idea that some apps may simply respect the user and not exist to mine for data is unfathomable to Google.
