Yeah, voting with your dollar definitely will make the change, just buy something else and struggle a bit harder, that change is right around the corner /s

Maybe it helps to think of it as a transitional state?

You own it, like the mortgage is paid or you rent from the bank still?

You got any more information on this? Also, is there a point to caring if it is an intellectual property rip off and run by a particularly set of people from a particular country?

It is pretty common when starting to use apps that don’t depend on Google services to not get notifications. Many struggle with inconsistent and sub-optimal notification strategies such as background sync via polling or a custom notifications service and need battery optimizations turned off. UnifiedPush allows for push notifications from a server or your choosing so those other methods don’t need to be used.

Awesome! Can’t wait to hear the official release and if it will end up being a separate release or not.

Just to be sure, you are getting your vanilla iso from MS?

It has been a while since I’ve grabbed a recent iso, but I’ve always used these with no issue in virt-manager.

I hope to keep seeing these headlines!!

Heck yeah, game industry workers are long over due for unionization. CDPR developers just had a headline in the news about unionizing after this latest wave of layoffs.

Does anything else work? For example, can you boot a Debian live disk? What about a Debian install on a VM? This will help isolate the problem to internal or external of the hypervisor.

Oh yeah, this looked quite good. I’ve been using waydroid with kdeconnect on phosh.

You could look into sxmo, something like i3 but designed for phones

As if liquid assets are the only thing that can be used to influence and gain more power and wealth. Smh. Capitalists use capital, liquid or not to keep hoarding all of it for themselves.

The point is that the community asked multiple times and they only started allowing apk downloads so people would stop asking. The signal project is open source for auditing purposes only, they have voiced their lament of forks and threatened to ban/block anyone not using an official client and refuse to make it easy to install through a package manager of the user’s choosing. The version without Google cloud messaging has unreliable message delivery, even though there is unifiedpush as a standard that would allow people to register with any push notification service.

Oh yeah, I saw this on Ubuntu touch also. I’ll see if I can get the flathub repo loaded in. That will certainly increase the variety in apps I can use!

Oh cool! I’ll give it a shot. Based on the other comment I got, I’ll need to see if I can get flathub into the pureOS store.

I just received mine after waiting 3+ years actually. It is pretty sweet with waydroid and KDE connect. I’m still not daily driving it because of the lack of a maps application with navigation though.

Beeper provides a free service to bridge all your chats into the same place, including traditionally secure applications like signal with end to end encryption. By using beeper, you are letting them decrypt all your signal chats and re-encrypt them on their servers. I wouldn’t trust a paid service with my privacy on this level, much less a free one. An alternative model could have installed the bridging and stuff directly on your device in the app, but from a usability standpoint that becomes less convenient especially when trying to port all the chat applications to all the platforms. They are just a hosting service for open source bridges with a nice closed source client.

My sympathies lol. I’ve been a long time Linux user. Sometimes my experience can be optimistic but in this case I remember things working pretty well. Definitely post your experience here and feel free to DM if you need a hand with something.
