Was going through some of the #fosdem talks and noticed one on something called #JMAP maintained by #fastmail mainly for managing/syncing contacts and calendars. Is there anything in terms of self hosting a server yet that i can then develop something that will connect to it? I see someone made a nextcloud proxy but i dont really want to spin up a massive nextcloud server just for contacts/calendar. Id like to use it for #mobilelinux so hopefully gnome/kde support it upstream at some point.
@sashin @graves501 @thejessiekirk All of the degoogled Android projects are riding on Google funded development and cannot survive without it. The only real alternative is #LinuxMobile. Now we have a decent-spec usable device for non-technical users, the #FLX1s from @furilabs at a pretty good price (currently $499).
For tech-savvy users, true Linux devices like the #LibertyPhone or #Librem5 with #PureOS, #Mobian or #postmarketOS (or flashed on a supported Android phone) can also work as a daily driver and replace Android for nearly all important stuff.
Mobile Linux shell Phosh 0.53.0 brings a bunch of bug fixes, auto brightness improvements, and thumbnails for launching apps are now shown on the overview screen. https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.53.0/ #MobileLinux #Phosh
People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google's Play store, without having to:
* pay Google
* give government ID to Google
* agree to Google terms and conditions
People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google's Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.
e.g. via F-Droid.
We've got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.

Hopefully this will give #FOSS devs an incentive to shift app development to #mobilelinux if Google pushes ahead with this.
There ARE alternatives. I'm fully aware that they are, for the most part, not prime time ready, but they DO exist, and they've come a long way.
Maybe Google doing this will be a blessing in disguise, as it may just be what's needed to give #linuxphones a push.
I, for one, will switch to one form of mobile Linux or another, if Obtainium/F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid are killed off by this.

@graves501 @thejessiekirk I wonder how dependent custom ROMs are on updates from upstream security or otherwise.

With all this Google malarkey where they are trying to lockdown their ecosystem, It's making really want to purchase a Fairphone 5 and install @postmarketOS@treehouse.systems . I know it's not fully functional but it's so so close. Has anyone else tried daily driving a #Fairphone 5 with #PostmarketOS recently ?? #MobileLinux

I had the original #FuriLabs FLX1 and liked it because it did what it said on the box and didn’t 'onboard' me with four cloud services and make me sign a wavier on first boot.
The #FLX1s feels like that phone, but with a better design. I’ll own it: I'm the guy who thinks thinner phones look cooler... In any case, I upgraded. It’s slimmer, has more RAM, and it lasts longer than my fold 7 so its better than good enough.
