@zemlo Yo tengo que usar, por cojones, Whatsapp. No me queda otra

Es la (casi) única razón de tener la versión MicroG de #LineageOS. Si no, me parece, ni te deja instalar Whatsapp sin servicios de Google. Y si te deja no te llegan las notificaciones.

Continued thread

If you're wondering, my motivation is quite simple. I've really liked NFC payments for years, but it is no longer possible with an Android device that doesn't pass Google's check for Integrity API. I recently switched to #LineageOS on my main smartphone, so this was an easy way to resolve the issue.

Ça m'énerve !!! Hier sur #franceinter dans #letelephonesonne ça parlait de ce que pourraient faire la France et l'Europe pour contrer les droits de douane. Un moment sont évoqués les #gafam . Question vite évacuée : "On n'a pas d’alternative".
Mais si bordel on en a plein des alternatives : les distributions #linux et #bsd et plein d'autres pour remplacer Windows et Mac, #lineageos , #iodeOS , #murena , #sailfish pour remplacer android, et tous pleins de #logicielslibres pour le reste !!

I went on an excursion to see what used smartphone I can get for under €100. Of course I wasn't gonna use the stock firmware with all of the crapware goodies (most likely from Xiaomi), so I had a list of supported devices open from #postmarket_os and #lineageos . Here's what I've memoed:

C'est #lundiRetape : je remplace la batterie de mon téléphone qui a fêté son septième anniversaire récemment. Il marche parfaitement et est à jour avec #LineageOS, par contre l'autonomie de la batterie, ça commençait à devenir pénible (surtout en itinérance). Ça devrait normalement aller mieux ! J'espère qu'il durera encore 7 ans 🤞

@kionite231 from what I hear if you try to use an unofficial APK, then from that point onwards WhatsApp will refuse to run on anything but stock unrooted Android. Not quite a blanket ban like you're looking for, but if you use #LineageOS or something it would render WhatsApp unusable.

Unfortunately my guess is the error message will also be something that blames the user (like "please use a standard Android from an authorised distributor") which would defeat the purpose for you 😕

@gnulinux schöner Artikel. Ich habe ein ähnliches Problem was Zusatzalarmierung angeht. Ich bin auf #lineageos ohne microG. Wir nutzen #DEalarm, hatte das über aurora installiert aber da kam direkt die meldung "kein googleplay, keine lust". Das von alamos wird vermutlich nich klappen, das gepushe läuft da über die google software. Mit microG könnte es klappen. Sms haben wir nicht, es gibt aber PAassist im #izzyondroid repo. Das sieht aus alswiewenns dafür gedacht wäre. Ansonsten: ausprobieren

Quelqu'un·e pour m'expliquer qui est cette app system #Android ?

Private Compute Services

Mon smartphone est sous #LineageOS v22.1 (android 15) sans microG, et Aurora me propose cette mise à jour.
Je trouve ça étrange parce-que le store ne s'occupe que des apps utilisateur d'habitude.

It feels good in the curent situation to be fully free of any proprietary solution.

#Linux #Debian #FreeBSD on all systems only, own #public #DNS servers on own systems including management.

#Mastodon, #Matrix , #Bridges , #Email , #SOGo #Nextcloud #Owncloud #UnifiedPush #ntfy #HomeAssistant #WebSites mostly done with #Hugo, and far more all self hosted on own systems in the basement or in our housing rack.

Mobiles #GrapheneOS and #LineageOS

Whatever #Trump #Microsoft aso does i dont care

Received replacement for broken #android phone. As usual, after confirming that it is operational, I am tempted to just clean off the worst bloatware and leave it at that.
After uninstalling the google apps that I could, the #xiaomi "cleaner" app helpfully points out it can clean... 3B (bytes!) of residue. And then it promptly shows me some adsense ads for tiktok. Off to the #lineageos website I go... 🙄

@postmarketOS omg!!

I was excited to hear the features, then disappointed to hear it's backed by proprietary libraries from #Gboard, but then excited again to learn this demonstrates the ability to run stuff from #LineageOS and its forks/ancestors without having to run a full-blown emulator! And not a normal app but a integrated subsystem no less 😮

If #postmarketOS were human, this would be a true #cyborg (in a good way) :postmarketos:

@fanta Eu non teño Fairphone. Merquei un motorola de segunda man por 40€. Fixate si estaba como novo que inda tiña o plastiquito orixinal da pantalla (aparte de caixa e cargador orixinal). Soamente tivem que cambiar o sistema operativo a #LineageOS con #MicroG (e dicir, sin ningunha das apps de google) para ter un movil actuliazado e con bateria para dous dias mirando series. #consumoResponsable

We need a free/libre fork of #Android for the public commons. Google cannot be trusted.

Maybe that could be #lineageos or #Graphene, but given that they build on top of Android rather than driving the core development, I'm not certain they would be enough as it stands.
