@stanwood la traduction me parait top ! Translation seems crisp to me !

@pinguin Well you could use a nextcloud account from one of the available client apps and synchronize through that.

@dobey now i'm confused: how could be a maintaining issue for a rendering software when alan said it was related to the android kernel diverging from mainline ?

@stanwood rerouting used to work fine for me

It's me again. Actually it still doesn't work. What led me into believing it was fixed is that pure maps actually displayed my offline maps, and i can see the tiles loading in the osm server. But i can't search for a place (nothing comes up) and therefore can't use navigation. Still stuck there.

@alan_g I see !

@dobey I was wondering if hardware acceleration is something that can be done, or is considered ? Or is it something that's unlikely to happen ?

Actually there might be a deeper issue: the version of pure maps slim that was defective was flagged by the openstore as "not coming from the official store". I reckon the reason for this is that these last days, the updates I made were available in both the openstore and the system updates tab - that is, for one given app, I updated it twice, because i.e. updating from the store did not erase the entry in system updates. It seems like a problem in itself, but since pure maps was one of these apps, I wonder if it didn't get corrupt somehow in the process...

Little update here: it works with the fullversion ofpure maps. The behaviour i described happens only with the slim version. Now what it does issimilar to what rinigus described in an earlier post: it displays the sameerror, butactually works.

@flohack well, after some calls with my bank it seems i'm going with one of these physical gadgets ^^

@mrlen You cannot compare the UT project and Sailfish OS. Sailfish was developped by people who knew both the cellphone market and the actual hardware, had ties with hardware production, and, most importantly had an actual business plan, with only paid employees, aiming at only a few phones of the same brand (Sony) and able to actually make their own phone (jolla phone) !!! None of this has ever been reachable by Canonical, nor was it their goal. They wanted to make something that would progressively come from convergence with computer UI (unity), that could eventually run on a vast diversity of hardware (just like Linux Desktop does), with the help of the Debian community all the while essentially hoping that two things would happen: actors of the market would eventually disclose hardware drivers, and they would manage to get the leverage necessary to build an assembly chain for their phones. That could have worked, it didn't and that's it. Just watch the absolute pain Purism has gone through to set up assembly in China, and again, that should give you perspective. On a side note: if someone had purposefuly stopped the UT process at the time, why did this all-powerful entity hasn't stopped all the other successful (yet less ambitious) alternatives to happen ? Why were the people of Ubports even able to get the source code ? That makes no sense to me.

@applee But the thing is they don't have to release any code at all ! I guess you can publish proprietary software on the openstore, can't you ?

@dobey that's right

@mrlen And you're very right ! SailfishOS is what you need I think. It's a no-hassle solution. It's not free, though ^^

@mrlen the only way to be 100% safe from tracking is to get rid of your sim.

@fla sadly, no qr code for me. Just the bloody app.

@alan_g i had no idea you came from Canonical. Huge thanks for involving in the project. Tell me if my post above is wrong. Anyway, @mrlen if you want absolute proof that there is nothing preventing an linux solution from happening, free of google and ios, check into SailfishOS. It works perfectly. On four/five officially supported devices, no more. That's the maximum a company with expperience (ex-Nokia) and ties in the busines was able to achieve. That should put things into perspective.

@mrlen I'm gonna assume one last time you really want to have a discussion here. Canonical's business model has always been weird / hybrid - that is, relying on a trademark and selling server solutions all the while trying to cater to its open-source community. Back then, they didn't have the ressources they have now, for one good reason: the failure of unity and the reverting to gnome desktop is a result of their choice to focus on the server side of affairs, because it was money-worthy.

@lduboeuf stable. I'll check logs later this evening.

@mrlen awe come on dude this is no place for your petty manichean obsessions. Go post this stuff elsewhere. This is no place for politics whatsoever. Please believe we're doing this to hold back the truth and go complain about it elsewhere.
