I was thinking a custom keyboard with macros could build on Malakiboard. I've cloned jerk-click, jerk-installer and jerk-packages in the hope of PRing some day. For now, thank you for making it easy for everyone to install these 'hacks' which I believe should and could become a part of UT!

said in http://repo2.ubports.com/dists/focal/InRelease blocked when there's football on the tv: I have filed a complaint to the internet provider via the OCU. I guess they'll day it's not their fault. I got an «answer». Please note that I'm being blocked (and everyone that connects from a Spanish network) to several websites because, literally «security reasons». «Security reasons» means that a football business is blocking random IPs because they think they are pirating their signal. Also, the «security reasons» are intermittent as you can see in the logs of OONI. The more it goes, the more IPs that are being blocked (it seems). My next step is going to the European Síndic de Greuges (that I don't know how it's called in English)

@Vlad-Nirky Thanks, I did not see the double entry.

@theprivacydad I guess you would have gotten a much better experience 6 months later: and that's an unfortunate coincidence that your testing/review happened just few days before some of the major needs (Signal, KeePass) were released to the Openstore , and some of the issues you mentioned is just about to be addressed: like modern and stable web-browsing. Anyway you will always be welcome to do an update or a new review in few month/years!

for app - CinnyUT for developer - danfro who is always very helping for other users. Thank you.

@idonthatevests Thank you very much for your answer Actually, I already have a Degoogled Android on Fairphone I wonder what UT do more for privacy I have not read the page refered by @lakotaubp : it will probably answer my question Thanks again Thomas

@gpatel-fr said in Crazy stuff: sudo snap install signal-desktop: @pparent Yes I ack that they are open because I think I understand why. The idea is here but solving it is another story because there is always an effort for every result and sometimes the result is not worth it. Well I don't think you should be so pessimistic: First because if they are showing some interest in porting their app, I don't know why suppose they are not willing to really do so. Second because Qt6 is supposed to enable cross-platform development easily. Third because you don't how the userbase of UT will evolve in the next years, let's how it could grow significantly making it more attractive to port some apps. Of course the port might not happen overnight.

@projectmoon Really easy, 10 minutes to understand what was expected of me, 1 minute to install and it works immediately. I saw some minor bugs, mostly display issues (especially on an external monitor). In any case, it works, it's fast, and ad-free! Two problems solved in one, thanks! (Nothing against Morph, but it still needs a little optimization.)

Just wanted to mention here, that Signal UT should now be a usable client for basic chatting, and will keep improving in the coming 2-3 month: https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent

@uxes IIRC with fscrypt in place, just replacing shadow breaks the protectors of fscrypt, leaving the system with a broken state. Also that's the dog biting it's tail: decrypting based on the password while the file containing the password is locked, that doesn't work. Regarding bluez data: that would break bluetooth at the greeter, which might be required for some usecases.

PRIZES It will be a bit of a challenge to organise prizes as the community to spread out across the world and not everyone is able to contribute in the same way. For this reason, I think it would be good to keep it open to suggestions and anyone can put an offer on the table. Some ideas: offer to tip the winner on their librepay account if you are an artist, offer to design a logo for their app offer to translate their app to your language offer to write a profile page for the winners to go on the UT website (Like an interview about the developer) offer to write a review of the winners app (like a show case page on the UT website)

Yesterday, I got emails from AlaskaLinuxUser (GitLab), thanking me, and saying both pages were fixed.

@arubislander Regarding containers not having access to the internet: It might be the device is using "Paranoid Android Networking" in the kernel, stemming from Android, which limits use of sockets to a special group ID. To device maintainers wanting to support LXD, you will want to check whether CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is in your kernel tree (simply grep recursively for it) and if so, set CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK=n in your defconfig. I've since fixed this on the FP4 and verified working networking on the FP5.

@Moem The banks in the UK are really pushing you to use their app. For example if you log in on a browser, it will push you to authenticate with your app on your phone or tablet. The banks have close the vast majority of counters and now run a service (no cash withdrawals) where a van goes from community to community on set days for all banks to cater for those who don't online bank. Likewise if you do need a big cash withdrawal (i.e over 1000 euros) then they question you like you are a naughty child. (Think of Greta Thunberg saying "how dare you withdraw your own money, how dare you!). Then to work you now have to have an authenticator app and I have to have the M$ authenticator, no choice. If I don't have it I cannot get into works systems! The UK is really going to rack and ruin......

@ancientsounds said in Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?: @libremax With more and more people getting unhappy with Google and Apple, there must be a great opportunity for some manufacurer and retailer to offer for sale a great off-the-shelf UT phone now? For the moment we can already congratulate ourselves for the consistency of Volla, which has been producing and marketing UT-embedded devices for 6 years and promoting them on its website, the new partnership with Brax tech, whose launch of the Brax3 was a success, and the forthcoming availability of UT on this device.

@bestenaizena No problem. Helping one another is what this forum is all about.

@fake-alex So what's the plan... are you offering to send these devices to people who want to try to make a port for them? Developers need to have the device in hands.
