            How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

              @wolfgang1 If you're getting by fine for now, could make sense to wait and see how the dust settles on VoLTE rollout. And if McGill gives you any free time, you'll find folks on the Forum trying to make it work in Pixel 3a and you could be part of it. But yes, there's already great success with VoLTE on some devices.
              Anyway, glad you found UT, and I hope you have a lot of fun in MontrΓ©al! I love that city.

                Greetings from Toronto, ON, Canada!

                My name is Kai, and I am a German living and working in Toronto as software developer.

                I came across Ubuntu Touch searching for alternative mobile operating systems. I got interested, but I do not own a supported device, so I am currently working on a new port.

                Kai

                    If @k.nacke got banned because of his username: I think it was not supposed to be a stupid word play. When you search the web, it seems that there is actually a German living in Canada named "Kai Nacke" and he is also active on GitHub.

                        @Moem My user was actually banned. But looks like an admin un-banned it. And yeah, it's really my name.

                            Greetings from The Netherlands,
                            My name is Jan and I like the idea to have fun with a Linux based mobile OS. Certainly with the current developments in the (tech) world. A couple of months ago I started actively to de-google. When I reduced the amount of apps the switch to another android 'taste' would be easier. I bought a Nothing CMF 1 and installed e/os. I host my own nextcloud instance, and this combination works like a charm. I already work with linux boxes for a long time. When I read more about UbuntuTouch and PostmarketOS, I liked the idea to buy an FairPhone4, and do the 'next step' πŸ™‚
                            Cheers, Jan

                                  Hello everyone,

                                  My name is Gabriel. After reading about the new Android developments, I decided that only Linux on mobile devices will have a future. I have been using Linux for about six years and am also a member of a Linux User Group. At the moment, I am happily using a Lenovo Tab M10 X306F with Ubuntu Touch.

                                  Kind regards from Germany

                                  Gabriel

                                        Hey everyone,

                                        I'm a senior software engineer who's recently gone down the privacy and self-hosting rabbit hole πŸ˜…

                                        That naturally led me to exploring mobile OS alternatives, and Ubuntu Touch's focus on privacy and convergence really resonates with me. I'm excited to contribute where I can be most useful - just need to get oriented on where the team needs help most.

                                        Looking forward to being part of the community!
