Hope you manage to find a way for US/Canada, especially given how hard it is already to get a hold of a Fairphone in North America

I hear you for sure, used to be a lot more bugs. My comments are based on Mobian Trixie, Bookworm was buggy, I hear PostmarketOS is also pretty good.
I’ve been using it for years, runs smoothly. Phones are not ready for mobile GNU/Linux is more the reality. Low level firmware and drivers specific to each phone that is, else the OS is pretty solid.
Calls, texts, web browsing with full Firefox all work. Android app emulation bridges the gap, you can install from Google Play
I’ve been eagerly following all your posts. I think Fariphone is a great target with a history of others choosing it as a phone series to support. Thank you for your service, might just end up getting one from your shop.
My biggest painpoint with transitioning from Android to Linux is no Bluetooth pass through to Waydroid, but that’s a whole different thing.
ATL & Waydroid/Lepton will bridge you over


I hear you. I only wish the Fairphone had a headphone jack and microSD at the very least, but I would be so nice to have something faster than the Librem 5 despite me appreciating the blob free/jailed chipsets


Low frame rate, black/white e-ink screens are obsolete: https://youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4


Speaking of Bluetooth, if you manage to figure out this one, it is probably the biggest blocker for me I’ve had from being able to fully move to Linux + LineageOS via Waydroid: the ability to share Bluetooth with both the Linux host and Waydroid simultaneously like you can with many other IO. Not sure if NFC has this same issue.


Top tier meme 👌


GOG DRM-free digital games are ownership


Agreed, in my opinion it is the best VPN provider, with Mozilla (rents infrastructure) and Proton as next best


For example, if you pay, do you only get a snapshot of the current apk, or does it auto update. Does it download any models, or only connect to frontier cloud models, in which case, API access typically requires a subscription. Once connected, not clear what it can do, is it like apple intelligence integration into that android device. What are the limits of what can be done with it, because there are most certainly limits, for example, probably won’t be doing pull requests, image generation, etc.
Also, I think the critique of it not being open source alongside your lack of experience in software, alongside this being vibe coded, alongside you charging a price for this, all together do not instill confidence in the robustness and security of the solution. If you had a software background or if it was open source to inspect, people may trust the robustness security more, and may actuslly even help contribute to your project if the core idea is good.


I read all your websites and documentation, and it’s still not clear what this does. Also, based on the community you’re posting this in as your target audience, you’d probably generate more cash flow by having a donation or using something like patreon for the freshest builds


I’ve found even harder to find than live sports are live TV premium channels for shows. All my previous places I used to go to are either not working anymore, paid, or only work in browser with a good adblocker. Lmk if you find a suitable solution


Ayyy, the pirate codex


Yes, you can just install the apps you want, then remove the ones you don’t, like the browser or app store. Though if you care about updates (app, security) you may want a script that does that for you


That’s my understanding too, and that way it ends up over there rather than here:


Money Manager Ex can track currency and assets in one convenient location, and it even has an Android app
Not only was it already done, it then got ported to PC in 2160p 4K UHD https://github.com/perfect-dark-pc-port/perfect_dark
