My heart is bleeding. After 9 years using Ubuntu Touch on my main phone, I'll switch to a degoogled Android version. Too much services I regulary use implemented an app only policy or at least an only all features available if using the app policy, which kind of sucks. I ended up having two phones, but that sucks also. So in the end, I gave up.
However, thank you ubports for your ongoing efforts and hard work. I'll continue to support you financially and hope to come back to UT.
In-line with my previous blog post about #Flatpak in #Lomiri I have been working on getting the core Lomiri click apps packaged for Flatpak.
Thankfully, there have been upstream efforts to do this already! Sadly it seems that the packages are out of date and barely functional, but it is something to work with!
So far I have the Lomiri calculator, clock, and filemanager running.

if you never used android, give instead #ubports a try, i used the 16.04 as a reliable daily driver happy for several years...
aaaand, if camera is a big issue and you like phosh, give #droidian a go! https://droidian.org/ #op6
📱 :linux: Regular Linux on yer mobile device? It's getting more viable for common use 🙏

Decided to try to setup a blog for my development. For my first piece I decided to recount the development history of #Lomiri as a frame for my future posts.
Ubuntu Touch wechselt zu einem Fixed Release Modell
Diese Änderung wird es der UBports Foundation ermöglichen, Fehler- und Sicherheitskorrekturen schneller als bisher bereitzustellen, um ein stabileres und zuverlässigeres Ubuntu Touch-Erlebnis zu gewährleisten.
Welp, there goes the idea of (paid) indie games for that mobile platform. 😐 Given #Flathub works on a payment backend it would've been best for #LinuxPhone's as a whole to go that route instead of doing their own sandboxing around apk. #MobileLinux devices will never get out of the niche they're in that way even if the GUI is ever so fancy.
Couldn't find hard info regarding #mobian or #ubports about this. 😐
Bereits letzte Woche hat die UBports Foundation die Verfügbarkeit von Ubuntu Touch OTA-4 angekündigt. Das Update verbessert die Systemeinstellungs-App sowie die Unterstützung für Google-Dienste.
#UbuntuTouch#Focal 20.04 #OTA4 is available Now We are very pleased to announce the release of the fourth stable release based on @ubuntu 20.04 brings many improvements and changes. All the details can be found in the blog:
@mike Hey Mike, happy new year and thank you for your work to maintain fosstodon.org! I'm currently missing emoticons for #Yunohost and #GNUstep. Would you bother to add them? Thanks in advance!
