@mihael Hello ** disclaimer ** no expert here ! I'm not sure at all why the phone app were appearing before and not now, but it seems that the list looks the same as the list of installed applications in the Store, so maybe this list is a list of clicks and phone is not a click that can be uninstalled or upgraded independantly of the system ? Take a look at this issue that seems to imply that to exempt an app, you need it to be actually an app, that is, have an appid to be able to use the gsettings tool. If the phone app does not have an appid, it will not be possible to manage it using this tool. You can try to use gsettings directly from the command line using the dialer app id, that is 'lomiri-dialer-app' but I don't know if it will have an effect on the phone. As far as I can tell, there is no other appid in the system related to the phone system. FWIW I don't see anything like you say with my phone, so maybe it's linked to the port ? So maybe try to take a look at the gitlab issue for your phone.

@matejrokos I am almost sure its impossible to get any idea or estimate. Volunteers don't do time tracking. Looking at an MR doesn't answer the question if a professional did that in half an hour or a hobby coder in three days. The foundation numbers may give you an idea about cost for infrastructure. But only partially as well, since we use for instance free hosted weblate or contributors use their own free gitlab CI minutes, so they don't count on the foundation servers. Volunteers also don't have funding. If they are lucky they get a "thanks" or some smaller donations. But that is not tracked at all.

Wow thats fantastic news! I am really grateful that I could help TELEports to become a strong App in this ecosystem... Nevertheless it is an effort that needs continuous contribution. And I cannot do so much (at the moment) for TELEports. I would be glad if one or two more people could help co-maintaining it, especillay for the larger Telegram/tdlib upgrade stories that are always a struggle.

@projectmoon well ok then, just needs someone that implements it then

@arubislander I didn't express myself clearly, I apologize. What I meant to say was that the post in the forum didn't receive a single response, not even a “that could be interesting” or a “no way.” I understand that in order to have an implementation, someone has to try. But personally, before trying, I would prefer to make sure that the work will not be useless. Especially in this case, where a push service already exists and there is a risk of duplication.

@flohack wordpress has a similar plugin and it's kind of cool.

Voxi also works

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.

@ufoddos said in Recommendations for Ubuntu Touch: I dislike Android because it's closed, increasingly sluggish, has a bloated design, a virtual machine mechanism, consumes a lot of power, has excessively high device requirements, pushes system junk, and isn't a true Linux distribution. I noticed you only use the forum to rant about and bash android and other OS's which isn't really adding anything useful and it's getting annoying. This doesn't get you anywhere, spreads a negative vibe which the community doesn't need and people start to feel uncomfortable. It's also not very inviting to other people who want to join the community and forum and could hold them back to register. Let me tell you that Android isn't consuming a lot of power at all but it's the (google) services that run in the background and free apps from the Play Store that consume a lot. Volla OS, which is Android (Lineage OS) based and used on the Volla Phones, is a de-googled privacy focused mobile OS and as a test i installed it once on my Volla Phone X and Volla Phone 22. The battery lasted about a week on one charge with simple basic usage of the phones and wifi constantly on. The OS has no google services running in the background and that's why it lasted longer to drain the battery. The Nokia 6.2 with Android that i have lasted 1.5 to 2 days on a single charge with the same basic usage. Ubuntu Touch is secure because it's a immutable OS, it's already privacy focused and doesn't have anything to do with government censorship and surveillance at all. There are already web apps available from the Open Store and you are able to create your own. I get the impression you didn't use Ubuntu Touch yet and didn't read any documentation or info about what UT actually is. Maybe it's time you gave it a try and learn about it.

@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.
