    Out of curiosity, I tried to get Brave web browser to function properly in desktop mode on my Fairphone 4 channel 24.04/daily. Brave browser (stable version) exists as snap as well as DEB and can be installed both ways. For comparison I installed both types to compare which one worked better on my Fairphone 4. From my testing I concluded that there is no difference in functionality. Both versions do not show the hamburger menu when clicked at the top right corner. The easiest installation was via snap, which took quite some time to complete. The DEB install was quicker and required tinkering with scaling. Brave installation via snap Open a terminal and type: sudo snap install brave Update all snaps with: sudo snap refresh When installation has finished, open Brave browser through Ubuntu Touch main menu or command line: brave To access the settings when hamburger menu is not working, type this in the address field: brave://settings Search for the setting exit and modify a keyboard shortcut (example: Ctrl + Q) to be able to quit the application the same way as you would be able to do using the hamburger menu if it was functional. Brave browser installation in Libertine Install Libertine Tweak Tool from Openstore. Activate lirsh command with Libertine Tweak Tool. On my Fairphone 4, the default container (look at the top of the tweak tool) is set to container name focal. I had to manually change focal to noble. Maybe the Libertine Tweak Tool could do this automatically as an improvement. Open a terminal window and type: lirsh fakeroot curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | sh exit # jump out of fakeroot The brave-browser.desktop did not automatically show up in Ubuntu Touch main menu. After touching folder ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor outside of the Libertine container, it appeared in the Ubuntu Touch main menu. Brave browser in Libertine only seem to honor the Xft.dpi setting in Libertine container ~/.Xdefaults. A one-line-command which sets the scaling would look like (here I use the value 120, you may want another value): # lirsh xrdb -merge <<< "Xft.dpi: 120"; GDK_BACKEND=x11 brave-browser Testing Chrome web store extension Dark Reader works as intended. Cookie popup windows do not show. Unwanted ads are blocked. duck.ai working. Copy-paste (actually: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) seem to work from Brave browser to emacs (Libertine), firefox (Libertine), but not to mousepad (Libertine), not to Morph browser (qt6). Right-click copy option does not seem to exist. Observations Copy-paste between different windows is glitchy. Some apps work to paste into, some don't. It seems the clipboard functionality needs an improvement to be solid. Hamburger menu in top right corner does not open. The Quit browser function has to be accessed via a custom new keyboard shortcut (I created shortcut: Ctrl + Q). This can be tied to a privacy cleanup to delete browser data brave://settings on Brave exit. Killing the app with clicking the windows handler x maybe does not trigger the cleanup functionality by Quit at all times. Having all sorts of windows open with several tabs at the same time uses 3.9Gi RAM memory, reports terminal command free -h.

    @UBportsNews @applee Thanks for doing the show all alone! My answer to your question is, that the soundeffects like applause, fanfares etc are funny, but the music is distroying my concentration. Maybe at least a little more loud would be a solution...

    @lsitongia any carrier's SIM logged into an android phone with a google account. All RCS goes through Google's servers, and RCS is opt out, not opt in. Go into your google account settings, search for RCS. Turn it off for that device. If you never used that device with a google account, then you're good. So, yes, you can put that SIM in another android phone to turn off RCS. But, you need to be sure what google account you used that SIM with.

    @rocket2nfinity Will those patches also fix group messaging? When I send a message to a group of recipients it only goes to the first recipient in the group.

    @ChromiumOS-Guy said: @nbdynl before i continue, append this to camera / location and if possible networking as well. we want a one time approval option, as well as foreground only. only system apps (like Phone app) should be eligable for background access for services microphone/camera by default, devision as follows: only phone (the app) has background access to microphone by default camera should not be accessible on background by default. (any app) location should not be accessible on background by default (any app) networking should not be accessible on background by default ,push notifications goes through a push server so not affected if im wrong this can be ammended (any non system app) It would be nice to have an explicit permission for apps that need to run in the background all the time, even if it's something that makes it require review. There are a number of apps that only work properly when unsuspended, or by using an unconfined background daemon. Would be good to converge on a single permission for them.

    I've taken the liberty of packaging Lagrange for Ubuntu Touch. Lagrange uses its own completely custom C-based UI stack built on top of SDL/OpenGL, which means that while it runs fine, the keyboard does not work out of the box on Ubuntu Touch. The UT package has a patch that 1) enables the keyboard and 2) packages it as a .click. There are still some issues with the keyboard and integration with the system. Namely: Clipboard does not work. Keyboard still has some weird behavior on textboxes that aren't the URL bar. You cannot edit text in the middle of them, for example. No integration with content hub. No integration with URL dispatcher (i.e. cannot open gemini links in Lagrange). I think most of these should be solvable. I will continue working on it and see what comes out. You can find Lagrange here: https://next.open-store.io/app/fi.skyjake.lagrange/

    @kaktux Hi, A lot of effort has been made to upstream Lomiri to Debian. So I think it may be the way to go for you. The following command is to use on Debian Sid/Trixie: apt install lomiri lomiri-desktop-session lightdm Source: https://ubports.com/lomiri

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.
