What with my Fairphone 4 just receiving it's last #CalyxOS update for a while and when they do start again it has to be a full reinstall, So I'm wondering has any UK folk successfully got UK banking apps running in #Waydroid using a #PostMarketOS device ?? If so which apps work ??

I'm absolutely not bothered about phone calls just data and I'm considering a Fairphone 5 as most things apart from audio seem to work already. I do have a OnePlus 6T too but haven't used it for a year or two.

Boosts appreciated and thank you ❤️

🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊

@Tutanota going further away from the android/AOSP-derivatives: another solution is Linux distributions on smartphones:

- I personally daily drive #SailfishOS for more than a decade (commercially supported versions of SFOS even have "Android App Support" running inside a container for "that one app" with no native linux port you can't get without)

- I've heard positive things about #postmarketOS and #UbuntuTouch (but don't have personal experience)

Kinda last minute but I'll be heading to PLUG's Clinic this afternoon at Willamette University (in #pdx), if anyone wants to try installing Linux on anything we support[1] in #postmarketOS 😛

BS -Chefin hält digitale Souveränität für vorerst unerreichbar

Deutschland will unabhängiger von den US-Digitalkonzernen werden. Doch nach dem aktuellen Stand der Technik sei eine komplette Abkehr undenkbar, sagt BSI-Präsidentin Claudia Plattner.

Niemand erwartet das man über Nacht einen Hebel umlegt und am nächsten morgen aufwacht und 100% unabhängig ist. Man könnte sich aber einfach mal auf den Weg machen, es gibt viel Bereiche wo das garnicht so schwer ist. Für mich liest sich das alles nach einer Ausrede um nicht aus seiner Komfortzone raus zu müssen... oder ist "die im ersten Quartal dieses Jahres geschlossene Kooperation des BSI mit Google" vielleicht auch ein Grund für diese Position?

@bjoern Soso...

"Jede Applikation, jedes Smartphone und jedes Betriebssystem sende eine Menge von Daten, etwa Diagnosedaten, sagt Plattner. " (Zitat aus dem Artikel)

Einige von uns müssten demnach aber ganz seltsame Apps, Smartphones und Betriebssysteme nutzen!
