Magnetic whiteboard

I use fossify for most of my core apps, they are what their predecessor was; simple.

And like other said, Simply was bought out, but the fork lives on.

Honestly, its not perfect, but at least I’m not having ai prompts and constant adverts shoved in my face.

The stock Graphine apps and home launcher are very basic, they didn’t focus on them because there are a prethora of better options already out there. For the basics, I recommend lawnchair, fossify gallary, fossify file manager, fossify phone, and open camera. For messages, I’ve got nothing. Only thing I’ve found that works right with group chats and sending pictures is google messages…

I left spark once the AI crap started being introduced. I also realized how terrible the “single sign on” feature, where you make an account and it saves all your email accounts in it for you.

K9 has worked fine for me for a few years now.

Reviews are from people opposed to any change when Thunderbird took over, which were pretty negligible btw.

With whatever client you pick, check the fetch settings, which for K9 are found when you click on an account in the main settings menu.

K9 doesn’t use google play services for push notifications, so it will never be instant. You can have it check every 15 minutes or up to 24hrs depending on how you need to balance battery vs checking. I have mine set to an hour (I think that is the default?)

You should also check the app’s battery settings and make sure background usage is enabled or battery saver is off.

I’m probably going to have get a separate phone for work, need a few apps that I don’t foresee working on a Linux phone anytime soon.

“The apps don’t work on my phone” won’t fly as an excuse lol, and I like my job most days.

I wouldn’t call it a get out of jail, but it is evidence for a jury to look at it.

I would much rather read news stories about police stopping these things, but here we are.

I agree, in principle vigilantism isn’t good for society. It opens the door for, let’s say heavily misguided, people to carry out whatever justice they want. Yes, it is also dangerous for the individuals with good intentions.

However, if the “proper” system does nothing, who will?

In the case of Roblox, I’m going to compare this to a public park;

In this park some adults set up a free candy van for kids. The park rangers/owners (moderators) see this, and choose to ignore it. Some other people at the park report their concerns to the rangers, yet a week later they find 3 more vans have shown up.

Finally, one person steps up and calls the police directly. The police can do nothing with the information, as there’s “no evidence”. Desperate to stop them, the person disguises them self as a child (don’t ask) to get the evidence. Police show up and apprehend the perpetrators.

The rangers are now angry that the person called the cops to their park, and bans that person from the park for “pretending to be a kid”.

If Roblox is unwilling to participate in the justice system set by society, they have no place in it.

As for schelps making YT videos, I say keep doing it. Not only does is help spread awareness to issues like this, it documents the “vigilante” actions. Society can decide from there what to do with that information.

They wanted to silence him because he was slowly brining attention to the problems. Luckily, that backfired on them, and the message got to everyone.

I hope whatever executive in charge of the “moderation department” and everyone else up the chain is arrested for this shit either. Nothing will ever change if people can hide behind a business name and face zero consequences.

It has a proper dark mode now. Also there’s different icon themes, I like the Breezy theme. Makes it look early 2010s

I suppose, but reading the article, it seems this was related to a windows defender update. In other words the anti-virus became malware, again.

P@ssw0rd no one will ever guess this one!

I agree Power Amp is amazing, I don’t care its not Foss and its worth the cost.

I was think more as a troubleshooting step to see if something else has the same issue.

I’d rule out Poweramp for sure, do other music apps work? Poweramp does works fine for me on graphine OS, which is also android 16.

You’re on a beta version, so it could be related to that?

I miss that.

My 5 died randomly one day. The 9 under screen sensor works nice, heard the 6-8? light sensors were bad.

Play services work great, even Android auto works.

Personally, I don’t bother with seperate profiles. I want push notifications for somethings. However if you only want bank apps, a separate profile may fit your use.

There is a “compatibility mode” you can turn on for apps that don’t work. This relaxes the restrictions the app has and sometimes works.

OTP works fine for google account 2fa and MS authenticator. I don’t think you’ll have an issue with an app’s 2fa as long as whatever other app needed are also part of the profile, be that SMS, email or notification.

No problem. I’m not happy with the current state of things either, but crossing one thing off the list, even if its lower priority to us, is still good for someone.

I find it interesting that some of the other comments go on picking apart my thing, that basically boil down to military = bad, so right to repair = bad and its not a problem because they are already wasting money. Be glad something good is moving forward.

Consumer rights have been increasingly stomped on by the mega corporations for years now, and they continuasly push the boundries. The very concept of a terms of service “contract” that can be changed anytime by 1 party (and heavily in their favor) is insane. The more control we get back the better.

This is important. Rossman did an interview with a few military techs, and here are few highlights

• they couldn’t get the router password (that they own) for troubleshooting. Imagine your ISP locked you out of the router?
• it cost 200k to ship a 100k part because they weren’t allowed to fix the broken one. 300k - thats a decent sized home in some areas, just to replace a wire or something. (Look up military pricing too, I remeber seeing something about how the military pays $400 for $4 bag of fuses)
• they have to fly manufacture service techs that don’t get schematics, if they need them, an engineer is flown out who closely guards them.

Its a complete waste of taxpayer money. Money that could be redirected into more important stuff, but alas our corrupt politicians will find other things to waste it on.

We’re allowed to fix our own cars (although manufactures are trying to stop that), why can’t the military fix their own equipment or farmers fix tractors? Get a foothold in the military sector and the rest will follow.

Unfortunately yes, there are technical reasons I don’t fully understand. I think has to do with how it’s locked down, and that it can be relocked after graphine is installed.

Graphine takes security seriously, so leaving the boot loader unlocked is not acceptable to them.

Although, that may change with google removing pixel specific code from the android source.

I’d like my phone to last 5 years minimum.

That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what’s the point?

Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.
