@ambiguous_yelp @helloclippy buy a pixel phone and flash grapheneOS if you can't get a fairphone. Its what I did in Australia. I got the pixel 9a the last pixel with a released OS tree.
@justincrozer You mustn't have read the thread fully - it isn't available in their country either

@ambiguous_yelp correct I replied to your post because of followed hashtags I didn't realise it was a thread from how it was viewed.

@ambiguous_yelp @kde @olivenolje @plasmamobile AFAIK the pinephone is the hardware (that can run plasma mobile or another interface) and plasma mobile is the software (that can run on the pinephone or on another device)
@PerryPeak @ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
The preferred test hardware is OnePlus 6 and 6t these days.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign
#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.
KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.
@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Maybe let's port lineage OS and Ubuntu touch to more devices and let Google stagnate like the pond it's become? 🤔

A lot of the time banking apps are just QoL features though, obviously ymmv especially globally, but in my experience you can get by using the bank website, debit card details and cash. Those who can live without banking apps in order to grow the linux mobile ecosystem: should do so
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje some banking apps are almost required. Ex. some banks I'm with require it to do certain expected features, excluding withdrawal/deposit.
I've also seen one provider (wish I remembered the name) that explicitly stated they'll close your account if the app is not used every 30 days or so...
Hence why I have two phones...

@jessienab @olivenolje Ha thats ridiculous of them - if banks actually cared about 2FA for security they wouldn't use mobile phones for that they're too easily hacked; they'd insist on key fob devices instead.
Of course its actually about building a surveillance network and the banks get a cut of the profits

@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Not to be rude, but as an average user/developer what's the issue at stake here?

@toadofsky @kde @keepandroidopen https://keepandroidopen.org/ has a section for users too.
Simple example, you want to install a nice app your friend made/recommended, you run stock Android, installation is rejected. The end.

@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Do you really think a company that lick the boots of a fascist dictator will give a damn about this open letter, let alone the openness of its own products?
@Stem @kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen But this is the only thing we can do.

Apple and Google, 2 choices for apps from where we sit, and both are partners in crime. END MONOPOLIES. Capitalism has become extortion when conglomerated.
Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.

Imagine people thinking they live in a #democracy when corporations make major decisions affecting people's lives, based purely on maximizing profit.

Solo alcune delle perle... Per lui la "democrazia" russa e quella ucraina pari sono.
Ha paragonato Putin a Zelensky, ha detto che il russo era vietato in ucraina, anche se è parlato dalla stragrande parte della popolazione... E via così.

@oatmeal Me and my children loved the mantis comic. They will love this one as I already do.

No we don't.

I’ve also drawn a classroom-friendly (SFW) version if you want to share the comic with kids
