@Torx @evacide
I know all about compatibility when it comes to Alt Roms🙄, I had to deal with that back when I had an HTC Android phone & moved to an alt Rom that did not have a working driver for the camera📷 lol

Yeah I was thinking of the pixel 9 pro.
"Buy the phone now, so you have old and new phone operational at the same time"
Oh yeah, that is the way to go for sure.

Thanks for the tip about CalyxOS, I did not know that.

New to me phone and holy shit, the camera on the S23 is light years better than the S20. This is a 10x zoom. It's arguably better than my admittedly terrible Tamron 18 - 400. Also, #fog ! #sealions ! #phoneography #photography #oregoncoast #Samsung #androidphone

6 easy ways to identify a #song using your #Androidphone

For anyone else who has a Samsung Android who has disabled Gemini and thought they disabled all the Google assistant features only to suddenly have the power button not work as a power button and brings up a "try saying" menu:

This had been irritating me since the 25th of June update, a feature I don't want and didn't ask for.

It's FOSS article about CoMaps

“With CoMaps, you can download entire regions before you begin a trip for easy navigation in places without an internet connection or mobile network connectivity.”
“The user interface is clean and intuitive. You won’t need a manual to figure it out."
"Moreover, privacy is baked into the app."
"The map style itself is another highlight; it feels fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed"

P.S. I like it too. It's easy to use, reliable enough, and I don't need to fear that “someone” is keeping its eyes on me :tony_happy:

And now I find I have to create an account with #HPSmart to be able to print a document on a #HPPrinter from an #AndroidPhone.

This would have been a 2 minute job on the desktop - including 90 seconds of walking.

Oh boy! A "OS update" for my Android mobile phone that yet again screws up my settings and makes things more difficult for me to use it. And a LLM feature I'll never use.

More people should realise how important #softwarefreedom is. I heard that #iPad don't have #calculator app. I was shocked.
Many people complaint about #bloatware when they bought new #androidphone.
These kind of things were everywhere—unfortunately, not many people realise this.

RT @fsfe: Happy #AdaLovelaceDay! 🎉

I wondered how much I trust Google.

Even when I expand that to,
"... I trust Google to [behave in such and such manner in such and such scenario]",

I end up with,"Not really, though if it consistent with them making profits then I have a moderate level of confidence in them."

So would #Google keep delivering my gmails if it didn't like the contents?

Maybe not?

Fortunate that I don't rely on #Gmail for much.

Though my #AndroidPhone - hoooo boy.

#AndroidPhone folks—I've used gBoard for many years because I genuinely like its visuals and functionality. But it's also Google and therefore spying on everything I type, so I've been meaning to replace it for ages. I have struggled to find a swipe keyboard that isn't distractingly ugly, missing an en-AU dictionary, or both. (Language is a dealbreaker; MS-Word nearly destroyed my spelling in the 90s, I will not be gaslit like that again).

Any recommendations?

I bought a #Fairphone5 late last year. I went through all sorts of reviews. My favourite was likely #LouisRossmann just going through all the documentation supplied by #Fairphone.

The review which really convinced me was some person going through everything and concluding that you could get a phone with better specs for a lower price. The fact that they couldn't wrap their head around the appeal of #repairability and parts made to last made me buy one.
