@mntmn Do you think there would be any EMI-induced crosstalk given the proximity of the WLAN card?

@noellemitchell It's worth mentioning that the Aurora Store (you can install it via F-Droid) has completely replaced Google Play for me. In Aurora, you can log in through your Google account or anonymously. All functionally worked even with Google Play completely disabled. 😊

@kop316 @purism This is my understanding as well (and same here - things may have changed in the last several years since learning this 😄).

I do recall, though, that GoogleFi mobile data did not work on my Pixel 2 with LineageOS VANILLA until I installed GAPPS. microG may also suffice, but I did not test this. I've heard that others have been able to access mobile data on other carriers using only VANILLA, which was the premise of my surprise.

@didek @purism I cannot verify since I don't have a non-Google SIM available to me, but I believe it does. People reported being able to use LineageOS VANILLA using other carriers and had mobile data capability. I was not able to use mobile data with Google Fi without first installing GAPPS.

From my experience, my devices require numerous libraries in order to function properly with , my current carrier. However, I swapped the physical SIM into my ( , not Android) and calls, SMS, and mobile data worked out of the box. Great job, @purism!!

Next, I'd love to migrate to a Librem mobile plan once it's possible to transfer my existing number. 😊

Tons of names in my phone are "Kenny Landlord" or "Mike Electric" or "Pete Do Not Answer" and just realized this is how anglo surnames have always worked

Hey peeps! Do me a huge flavor? I moonlight with the immensely amazing Open Source Hardware Association, and we have a new baby mastodon account. Follow and share it? We know our folks are on here, and would love to reach them.

Can confirm, especially when having to develop mission-essential applications for the military where a case we had to consider was "user leaves an object on top of keyboard," etc.

We have way too many patents as it is. The last thing we need are AI patent troll farms generating millions of trivial "inventions" then suing everyone actually building stuff.

I added a configuration for eclipse to easily download/install in my Debian live project. I had flashbacks to high school when having to jump through hoops to install cygwin/eclipse on Windows...

Thanks to loading and a few OS on a USB boot drive, I can use the tool I wrote to enable a persistent desktop or server environment that's both (mostly) distro-agnostic and hardware-agnostic!

It's still a work in progress, but I'm starting to lean toward supporting more desktop environments than and more OS options than (I'm currently improving support). I should probably reconsider renaming the project. 😉
