Oh, nice. Thank you, I'll take it for a spin.

Went to look into it, and seems to be in very early stages. I'll set up the flatpak on my computer and laptop to help where I can, seems like a very nice option. Do you know how to integrate it to Android? I could not find anything on that.

Edit: So it works from the KDEConnect Android app. Nice.

KDEconnect or gsconnect if you're on KDE or Gnome respectively.

Hands down the best screen shot app in Linux, in my opinion.

No idea, I haven't used anything form that company in about 7 years.

I don't say I trust him, don't even know him. Having said that, his videos are mostly well evidenced, and it is still super fun to see him blasting these companies.

Awesome. No idea what that means, but AWESOME!

Gotta love this community. So many people, most trying to smooth the road for newcomers.

This is the best suggestion for this purpose. Check out degoogled ROMs like e/os/, Divest, Graphene, Calyx, etc. Find which one better fits what you want, and then get a device that is 100% supported by that ROM.

Damn 🤣

This could, in theory, speed up the birth of actually usable Linux phones. Dreaming is still free.

Yeah, now go crazy trying shit you probably should not be trying. From my perspective, that's the best perk of any Linux distro. Evidently, backup first.

What I do is get it from a brick and mortar store, like Best Buy, or even order from them. I'll avoid buying from Google directly like the plague. I am aware they share some information, but just not paying Google directly feels good to me.

And about their customer service, honor where honor is due, they are awesome at that. When I was leaving Fi, not even a single attempt to keep me there, no questions, just a fully helpful individual helping me port out.

Why are so many people so fast to downvote over a misconception? GOS does not include any Google anything, it does allow to install, but it is the most bare ROM out there in terms of pre-installed stuff, for sure.

I am not defending "MacCock" and his goons in any way, shape or form, I believe they are all certifiable, but misconceptions don't help anyone either, which is why I chose to clarify this.

Basically because Daniel "MacCock" behaves like a massive paranoid schizophrenic prick when he doesn't take very strong meds (that's my take on it anyway). And as others have mentioned, his claim to have stepped down is just that, "his claim". Everything points to him still very much being at the help of the project.

I like the project, but any software I use being directed by someone like that guy is a huge red flag.

About the warranty on your device, just wait for it to expire. After so much time using Google, keeping the account alive for whatever you need for a bit longer won't really make a difference.

What I would do is just keep it and not use it for anything other than what I REALLY need it for.

Now you're able to hide your number at different levels, but it still requires you to use a phone number to sign up and use.

List is very similar to mine. And I finally killed the last leg I had on Google, which was my Google Fi service, ported over to a VOIP service, and deleted that account as well. The future is bright.

Nintendo,the rest are all "wannabes".

Paywalled, wtf?
