Sad to see this happening: #Google will now publish #AOSP only in Q2 and Q4, instead of every quarter before. See the note on https://source.android.com (thanks to @grote for the ping) #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

@kirschner @grote $499 for decent-spec Debian-based Linux phone that can run Android apps: https://furilabs.com/shop/flx1s/

Have not seen that before. What are the experiences running Android apps on it?
@grote
@kirschner @opensourceopenmind @grote The android integration is pretty good. I can even run my banking app as well as some gym membership and transit apps.
@kirschner @opensourceopenmind @grote I have been using android apps on my FLX1 without much issues. There are still some rough edges with audio and video. I have to restart android container to get audio calls working on monocles chat. NewPipe had some issues but FreeTube works natively. I use this phone as my daily driver (no android backup phone). The second phone I have is Librem 5.
