how does it compare to #Aerion?

If we could only delete the already existing word "floss" from all of the dictionaries, this issue would be solved.

1. Which license are the compiled binary files available under? Is it a case of "open" but not "free" (as in freedom)?
2. I agree it doesn't make it "bad" but that's not what the label says : ) Still, you should be able to solve this easily if you want by letting people use a different server/cdn. You don't have to agree with it as I'm sure you don't agree with all Google Play and Apple Store rules.

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

I do send a very few people to online resources like @npub167r…p2re, @npub16xn…g7f8, @npub1dm2…7754 and @npub14sl…t5d6, but most people I know have zero interest in learning anything tech-related much less the philosophy behind it!
My chief strategy is that I have something to offer: I'm a teacher and run classes/courses (many of them free) for kids and adults, and I only do them on #Jitsi, #Signal, etc.
Even if they pay fees, I say that Zoom, Whatsapp, etc. are off the table.
I think all of us with stuff to offer that people need are in a great position to onboard new users to #FOSS alternatives, especially if people realise there's money to be saved :)

Unfortunately, switching to alternatives is simply not enough; we also need to be unavailable on SMS, Whatsapp and other proprietary platforms.
Using a data SIM on #LinuxMobile, I have managed to onboard many people, over a hundred, to #FOSS messengers. Before when I preached freedom and #privacy, there'd always be resistance. Now people just accept that WA, SMS, etc are simply not an option and they readily hop on to alternatives if they need to reach me.

Linux app ( #flatpak) also needs some love. Hopefully can reach parity with Duopoly apps soon : )

Perhaps consider #Librem5, #LibertyPhone, or #MNTPocketReform with #GOnnect...? All of them should connect to Ethernet but they're ARM devices, not x86-64.

#Librem5 and #LibertyPhone also ship to India @npub1qy0…nsak right?

Yes they can and are. We need to support them by contributing, and also buying from #mobilelinux vendors.

I don't have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):
1. Calls by #GNOME & #Purism
2. Chats (#Chatty) by Purism & GNOME - supports #SMS, #Matrix, #XMPP
3. Contacts by GNOME
4. #Firefox web browser by #Mozilla
5. #SignalMessenger
6. GNOME Settings
7. #Phosh Mobile Settings
8. Tweaks by #postmarketOS
9. #Tuba (client for #Mastodon / #Fediverse)
10. #Kasts by #KDE
11. #DeltaChat (#openstandards-based, #securityaudited, fast #e2ee chats over bloody #email!)
12. Files / #Nautilus by GNOME
All #FreeSoftware /Libre, #OpenSource #FOSS / #FLOSS : )
Note: The home screen and the app drawer / search / overview is all one and the same.

In a world where control of #communication networks is increasingly centralized, #DIYnetworks offer an independent alternative. This presentation shows how to build up your own autonomous #meshNetworks with low-cost hardware components and open source tools such as #Reticulum and #MeshChat. We will present practical steps for the construction, configuration and integration of sensors, communication and computing power. We are also discussing how such #networks can be used in #humanitarianCrises, such as the organisation of aid measures through solidarity initiatives.
https://media.ccc.de/v/eh22-97-eggceptional-meshnetworking-#t=950
This workshop offers a detailed journey through the world of do-it-yourself radio networks and #autonomousCommunication structures. Using an exemplary system structure, we show how to realize cost-effective, flexible mesh networks with #LoRa #RNode, Reticulum and MeshChat. In doing so, we not only dedicate ourselves to the technical requirements – such as the optimal hardware selection, antenna adaptation and network planning (keyword “Network Planning 101”) – but also consider how these technologies can be used for #humanitarian purposes, for example at #CADUS.

Not sure which chip but I'm pretty sure @npub1sfg…fqh4 announced that they are working on an ARM laptop.

Dear [@Mer__edith](https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith ) and the the amazing @npub1rkw…5q62 team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @npub1qy0…nsak #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @npub1qgm…yd0f #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @npub1pl0…qn57 #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @npub1vnu…8mqn ,
- @npub12ye…qrq8 , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @npub1lmq…xa4a,
- devices running @npub1ua9…sk4k which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

Yes, but at least you'll get some funding for development out of it. Maybe even some insight into what features paid users are missing. Right now, complaining is free without much benefit - instead you have to put in time and effort to reply.

I really think you should sell the software binaries like #Ardour does. Not less than US $100. Free updates until next major version.
Many human beings will always be ungrateful for what they are given for free without payment.

Even if most still don't care, I'm sure his revelations motivated and influenced a lot of #e2ee and #privacy projects which those who do care can use today.
