@bq4.5 said in Push your vendor: about spying lol, man your government, your provider, anything that is connected to the net is spied on some how or the other, so just spare me the gibberish spy song. Want to stay safe from spying, just avoid internet. You are right. We live in a connected world. This is great and has a lot of opportunities but also threats. So unfortunately we have to get used to the fact that there is less native privacy from day to day BUT... ...it is also a question of the personal attitude. What I want to say is that on some point it has to start even if this start has not the immediate potential to safe the world. So if now we have the opportunity to develop an alternative mobile OS we should be carefully aware about those general conditions. At this point: A big THANK YOU to the UBports pioneers @mariogrip @NeoTheThird and Dalton Durst! (edited) And of course @Flohack... Maybe the following is going too far for this discussion but anyway let me write this thought: Out of a broader perspective I personally believe that privacy is one of the main preconditions for democratic and peaceful societies. Only if we as citizens have the possibility to discuss controversial topics without fearing to be blamed by the officials and elites because of not stating the "universal trouth" with every sentence, we get better and beeter in understanding the complex world. This is due to someone who can identify and articulate the mistakes in our statements again without fearing to be blamed. This personal understanding will than be the basis for our voting behaviour. So iteratively we - and so our systems - will get better and better.

@UniSuperBox perfect! Thank you.

I'm unsure of what benefit this gives us as opposed to a more accepted currency like USD or EUR.

@callump123, it seems the problem is OP has mounted OP3/3T screens upside-down in their OP5 model. That means the screen refresh bottom to top, not top to bottom. Here are some videos showing the effect. More info. https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6kh83o/confirmed_oneplus_5s_display_is_upsidedown_likely/djm700d/ https://www.xda-developers.com/confirmed-oneplus-5-display-upside-down-likely-reason-jelly-scrolling/ Edit: Answering your question, in that last link you can see this: Not every OnePlus 5 owner will encounter this issue or notice it happening. It is unknown how many OnePlus 5 owners will ever encounter this, though OnePlus assures that it is only a small number of users.

Can you use a different type of currency in GitHub for bounties and projects?

I know it is a difficult thing. But it is not the app who has to read something but are you who has to learn to draw letters in a way the app understands. I see that are many things more important. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply, had some days off with no connection. Great feel. Roger, joined the Telegram group, will look for you, Mohannes. Cheers!

@jamesp i connect a keyboard

@Flohack, thank you. I forgot that possibility.

@sverzegnassi said in Ubuntu for mobile devices post mortem analysis by Simon Raffeiner: I would only ask if it's better to have a phone with a smooth experience, or a phone that converges to desktop, at first. That's right, first a fully functional phone. Better go step by step. Besides there isn't good hardware available for true convergence, at least for now.

I'd like to see a phone that picks-up where the n950 left-off...

@bq4.5 said in mailing list: while reading it, i saw the section about Patreon, so at the end of the paragraph i saw "Learn more at patreon.com/ubports", so i was interested to learn what patreon is or do, so i have clicked on the link and a 404 page had opened https://ubports.com/patreon.com/ubports. Hi, I opened an issue for this here: https://github.com/ubports/ubports.com/issues/27 - you are always free to use our bugtrackers, and in fact we prefer this method - since the forum tends to be hard to follow up. I am sure this issue will be fixed in no time. BR

@wgarcia I've tried to download the map of Spain, and there was an error. It was from jul 2015. I had a copy in a disk and I have used it. I have been able to follow a route from my home to anoher. Perhaps there is a problem downloading a map (not sure). The map is very old, but the size of the directory of spain is 983.5 MB. Very litle. However the app crashes frecuently. There is a lib: libosmscout. This app uses it. The explanation is in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Libosmscout, but I don't know how to create the maps. The files that gives openstreetmap are *.osm and *.osm.pbf. With them you can make the map for OSMScout.

@doniks wow thats awesome! good startingpoint for me. i try it. thanks.
