Thanks yeah that’s gonna be my next step.

I have done a lot of pixel repairs and GOS installations . Pixels are glued shut. It is repairable but it is quite sure to say that the screen will break if removed , it’s kind of like removing two eggshells glued together. Requires a lot of patience and luck to do it without breaking it. Once in it’s not harder than any other phone. That said my own has a a 40 euro case to avoid the issues of repairs, I recommend that. Screens are 100 + euros nowadays. So repairs is rarely worth it. Depends on the price you can get the parts for it.

Batteries can be replaced but takes some work and hot air gun to remove glue.

For GOS yeah that’s what you want it’s the best. And I do everything from debian distros.

Don’t use aurora. Instead install GOS implementation of google play on a separate user profile if needed. The user profiles are a lot better sandboxed than regular user profiles and the gapp implementation better than aurora. And most things work without it also.

GOS gets more support than regular pixels but are recommended to not trust after pixel official updates end. For the new ones it’s 7 years. Usually GOS gets a year extra of minor updates. Check the FAQ and device support on https://grapheneos.org/faq

I use mine for nearly everything. And there are either FOSS apps from FDroid (and additional repos) or just use the mobile website for non Foss stuff like banking. There are a few exceptions , like Whatsapp that I need but it have fewer permissions and no access to contacts ( there’s a Foss app as helper for that as well) . Your headphones will work fine.

Unsure, but what you can do is copy the extensions from your Firefox user folder and add them to your new install. The settings are not stored in the same folder as the rest of the settings or extension settings.

Can’t wait for a proper decent linuxphone.

Except on the rare occasion when there’s fresh bread in the morning. Over the entire kitchen and living room. And a pile of dishes that won’t be done until there is no utensils left.

Also possible to download for local translation, might help

Just flash gos

GOS for the win :)

I’m quite experienced in Linux but I wouldn’t use either. Arch is great if you like to tinker, Ubuntu sucks for the not so libre approach , corporate ties, telemetry etc. I distrohopped before but today I just install my debian based distro and shit works… Ubuntu I’ve installed twice before when I was new to Linux, and have had a major issues every time due to official updates that broke internet drivers and other things, that’s a fun one when you only have one PC . Not to mention its so bloated that shitty computers that I like to thinker with it have a hard time catching up. The arch thing is also mostly a kind of meme, targeting the more unbearable nerds. People I hated when I was a noob (they will let you know you are) But they are found everywhere and in general I don’t think there’s more of those people in arch community than anywhere else. It’s more of a stab at elitism than arch specifically.

I see a point in arch but zero in ubuntu.

For some reason I can’t send messages in the thunder app. Not sure why. Anyhow thanks for the offer but I will survive even if it will be noodles for the coming months. I just wanted to vent. Send it to Palestine instead. !mutual_aid@hexbear.net

Looking at fines and cost for more than a months salary because my car insurance had lapsed… Fml

:) will be interesting to see the AI psychologist creating a massshooter

Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.

Got a smartwatch, helps a lot to have a physical wake up call /reminder. Still misses shit ofc but less at least :)

Going the wrong way about it. Lineage is great for what it is but they are far far away from what you should do. Just take WebView , only help there is using vanadiums that comes with GOS. It mitigate it at least. So use that. If you don’t have a pixel , use calyx os and if that fails lineage. Buy 2nd hand pixels. Google don’t make the big bucks on phone sales, they are an ad company. Removing that stream is probably better than using other phones and not getting GOS. Linuxphones are coming along , hope we get something interesting there soon

Cassandramaxing?

Didn’t bother to change the text but about how I feel anytime I talk privacy and Foss…

Same here , I try to keep up with the dishes

I’m tripping now but I for sure saw a scifi cowboy and horse there for a moment

Wait so one more season? They skip half of the comics then?
