    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

    @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.

    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!

    @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!

    @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.)

    @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)

    @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.
