@kugiigi Not a surprise because Oren Klopfer is the guy who has made a lot of work to push UT on pine64 devices and is also behind Rhino linux distro.

The others phones that I know of: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro - sounds like VoLTE is working for people, but band compatibility may not be perfect. Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC - "" Various Volla - "" I've heard of people in USA using all three of these, but you really need to do your research and check with mobile providers. Brax 3 has a UT port that's coming along. Applee has been in touch with them. It seems too early to say though, which is too bad, because they have a December shipment coming along. Similarly Furiphone talked in the past of a UT port, but I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Both of those are explicitly made to work well in USA (among others). Also Fairphone 4 is supposed to have working VoLTE now? There was an ebay seller in USA who was selling Fairphone 4 new. NeverMSRP I believe. Ruben continues to work on VoLTE on the Oneplus Nord N10. Crossing fingers on that. Some people already have good results, but he's clear that it's still wonky so far.

Very nice! I don't use these platforms but it's a very positive gesture. I hope someone wins it who really appreciates it.

@adorsaz There are a few complications when changing the push protocol. For the moment we already working on a unified push => ubuntu push bridge, and so you might want to join this Telegram group: https://t.me/+7zQzeeDVa38yZTIx We can discuss the things there in better detail BR Florian

@RapidRotator that would be great. I guess its not so straightforward but maybe we are lucky

@kugiigi Oh, I thought this was a UT thing... Ok, thank you very much for your answer, I will report this.

@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.

@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.
