@eri Maybe. My banking apps work and IIRC they are sensitive to running on rooted phones, but YMMV. Do you have an example of one I can test?

@Cirucci That sounds super draining... I'm sorry. It's hard when you feel like you waste so much effort chasing your own tail, put out fires on all sides, muster up the courage to accomplish some challenging task only to discover or be told that it really wasn't a priority, or dump all of your energy into a high-priority task where something inevitably blocks it being checked off completely.

Speak your truth but try to cite your sources!

uses a container-based approach to boot a full system on a computer. It's also now on ! Donations or sponsorships are greatly welcomed and help accelerate Waydroid's development. This is something I'm personally excited about because it lets me run banking apps, etc, on my to make it viable as a primary phone.

Teardown is back! It's an awesome conference for hacking, discovering, and sharing hardware,
June 23 - 25, 2023, in Portland, Oregon crowdsupply.com/teardown/portl #Portland #PDX #PortlandOregon #Teardown2023 #CrowdSuppy #HardwareHacking

@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. 😊

Assembling chairs for tomorrow's inaugural Sound Hackers in Portland. The in-person event is now wait-list only, but we will also be streaming it live. Details at www.meetup.com/sound-hackers

@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

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.
