Competition is when Monopoly

So… Theyre doing what the CalyxOS contacts app has been doing for years? lol

there goes the entirety of people who are too poor to afford iphones choices…

(I know there are other options, but genuinely, when I’m out and about I hear that Motorola jingle more than the iPhone’s notification or Samsung’s spaceline)

I see, that makes sense. I feel like I should have been able to figure that out but my puzzle solving skills aren’t the best lol

genuine question from someone who isnt a cybersec major, wouldn’t E2EE chats and quantum resistant encrypted files negate most targeted government cyber attacks? Like I’m aware vulnerabilities will exist and you can take infrastructure offline, but they (they being any government) want the data of the opposing gov’t right? Doesn’t encryption make it stupidly easy to protect? Or are my encrypted backups & Signal chats not as safe as I thought they would be?

Thats actually surprising, when did they release that?

I mean theres a shit ton missing for discord parity. I agree that matrix needs more of these features, just wanted to share a couple things that already exist

If by linux version you mean completely broken electron web app I suppose youre right

Revolt also exists just btw. I dont use it just thought I’d mention it.

Cinny is a discord like matrix client :)

I don’t like the new Android logos. The whole space thing for like, 3 versions is a bit overdone.

OpenWrt mentioned!!!

also I feel like google knows they’ll lose like 25% of their phone market share if they dont allow custom ROMs on pixels. No one’s buying a pixel for the “status” and it is not a budget device by any means.

As long as it’s all wired correctly it should be fine.

Pixel 4a fits most of these requirements but its almost 5 generations out of date and has no SD Card, + the extra security requires you to install a custom ROM like Calyx, Graphene, Lineage etc. and the hardware vendors no longer support them, so you dont get hardware updates, only OS.

You can use /e/OS or Muerena or whatever its called now on the 4a though. It kinda looks like iOS

Thats fair. I use Fedora myself but Wine should be a lot easier than you remember lol. For me its been as simple as adding the repo and installing, then most of my Windows programs were plug and play :P I dont run any adobe or MS office but the alternatives are pretty good once you get acclimated to them

I mean 12 had some good features

What’s the alternative that would render them not a clown emoji?

Call it whatever you want, I don’t feel spreading a negative narrative to someone who wants to leave an abusive ecosystem on the internet should be something that should be defended though.

Feel free to DM if you want 1 on 1 support. Ive been making the switch for almost 4 years now.

As far as I can tell by skimming Wikipedia, no. Its based on something called OpenHarmony, which itself was based on something called LiteOS Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenHarmony

Edit: Looks like HarmonyOS used to be based off of Android, but has transitioned to OpenHarmony extremely recently. “It replaces the OpenHarmony multi-kernel system with its own HarmonyOS microkernel at its core, removes all Android code and supports only apps in its native App format.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS

So while you would’ve been correct a few months ago, it appears this is no longer the case. I can see why my comment would’ve seemed stupid at first.
