Anfangs fand ich die Idee von Bluecode ansprechend, doch bei genauerer Betrachtung sticht etwas Störendes ins Auge.
Bluecode wirbt stark mit europäischer Unabhängigkeit und der Abkehr von „Big Tech" sowie internationalen Kreditkarten. Doch die technische Umsetzung zeigt eine entscheidende Lücke: Die App funktioniert ausschließlich auf Android und iOS. Damit bleiben Nutzer von Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch oder PostmarketOS ausgeschlossen. Eine „emulierte" Nutzung über Tools wie Waydroid ist für den Alltag kaum praktikabel.
Echte digitale Souveränität darf nicht von proprietären Plattformen (Google/Apple) abhängig sein. Eine Zahlungslösung, die eine Alternative zum Silicon-Valley-Mainstream sein will, sollte offene Ökosysteme und interoperable Standards unterstützen, statt sie auszuschließen.
Solange das nicht passiert, bleibt das Versprechen unvollständig.https://bluecode.com/de-de/company/about-bluecode

ICYMI: Ubuntu Touch's latest update modernised the default web browser – jumping from Chromium 87 - 131.
Plus, it now lets you print from your phone, handles camera notches and bags a built-in screenshot editor.

Banks and other public services must not become the bottleneck for more and better freedom of mobile choice.
If policy supported Apple and Android for 15 years, it can support more platforms or, better, platform-independent access.

@libcameraUpgraded #postmarket OS to version 26.06 (edge) with Gnome 50, on a OnePlus 6T.
The Camera app is now marginally better. In particular, switching between the 3 cameras, and the front (user-facing) camera now works in monochrome - not weird violet-pink as it was in v. 24.04.
Still not as good as cameras in #UbuntuTouch (or Android), but a welcome step forwards!

Ubuntu Touch update brings better support for modern smartphones & web apps
Ubuntu Touch is a mobile Linux distribution designed to run on smartphones and tablets. But since the project was abandoned by Canonical, it’s been maintained by a relatively small team of volunteers at UBPorts, so the list of officially supported devices is fairly small, and major updates don’t come around all that often. But Ubuntu […]
