Only non-carrier-locked Google Pixel phones. They have been talking about potential partnership with other OEM but it's not easy with Google ToS for Android OEM manufacturer to support other OS officially. Also they have paranoid-level security model and beside a few company like Google, Apple and maybe Samsung few devices would meet their requierments... And you know, Samsung introduced Knox to prevent their users to flash other firmware or mod their hardware and the other one, Apple, is the company that killed the FOSS Cydia Store...

I avoid running Google software on my devices so I don't have the Gemini App

Yep you can't flash carrier locked Pixels, I hope you don't have much longer to wait or that the time will fly fast

GrapheneOS will continue supporting the current devices we support until their end-of-life dates. We'll also add support for new Pixels as long as they meet our requirements. We've tried to make that clear, but recent posts about changes to AOSP have been widely misrepresented. Prior to Android 16, Pixels had first class support in the Android Open Source Project as the official reference devices. This was never one of our requirements and no other device provides it.

From my understanding yes but maybe not in this thread

Yes. Revolut prevented new users to login in a specific version of their app (the newer). Users that were already logged in could update the app without issue and users could use an older APK of Revolut to sign in. However the PlayIntegrity process that was banning their GrapheneOS users have been resolved and now the harden OS is whitelisted from Revolut.

At least that's what I have followed/understood from the whole thing but I am not a Revolut user.

These projects suffer from the same issues with how Google share new Android versions. This is not a solution. Also if you have a Pixel I would personnaly use a secure locked bootloader OS rather than an unsecure unlocked bootloader. I tend to privilege /e/OS on Fairphone and LineageOS on phone that have already dropped support.

Honestly I think that AlternativeOS will always be possible, the main issue is how compatible it will be with everyday apps that people rely on. We've started to see some compatibility issue with Play Integrity on GrapheneOS, with Revolut (has been fixed) and Alternate AppStore such as AuroraStore having some apps refusing to launch if not installed from PlayStore itself.

On the Linux side of thing you could see how your plugins performs on a VM and or see how Ardour plays with your hardware.

Surveillance des télécommunications et entreprises obligées de collaborer : ouverture d’une consultation (www.admin.ch)
 

La surveillance des télécommunications ne peut fonctionner sans la collaboration des entreprises de la branche. La loi sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (LSCPT) prévoit différentes obligations selon le type de services que les entreprises proposent et elle classe les personnes obligées de collaborer dans différentes catégories. La compétence d'imposer des obligations supplémentaires ou d'accorder des dispenses pour certaines d'entre elles revient au Conseil fédéral, qui fixe les critères à ces fins.

L'ordonnance sur la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OSCPT) classe les fournisseurs de services de télécommunication (FST) dans deux sous-catégories : les FST ayant des obligations complètes et les FST ayant des obligations restreintes. Les fournisseurs de services de communication dérivés (FSCD), quant à eux, sont désormais rangés dans trois sous-catégories, selon le niveau de leurs obligations, qui peuvent être minimales, restreintes ou complètes. Ces distinctions doivent permettre une gradation plus équilibrée des obligations et un rapprochement entre les FST et les FSCD de taille et d'importance économique comparables. Un FSCD ayant des obligations complètes doit réaliser au moins cent millions de francs de chiffre d'affaires et/ou avoir plus d'un million d'utilisateurs. Nouveaux types de renseignements - suppression des chiffrements

Trois types de renseignements et deux types de surveillance sont par ailleurs créés à la faveur de cette révision. L'objectif est d'une part de standardiser certains renseignements et surveillances rétroactives servant à l'identification d'utilisateurs et qui étaient jusqu'ici traités comme des cas spéciaux et, d'autre part, de créer la possibilité de ne surveiller qu'une partie des données de contenus lors de surveillances en temps réel.

Un nouveau type de renseignements permet la constitution d'intersections des résultats de l'identification des utilisateurs de deux connexions internet ou davantage. Les autres concernent la livraison d'indications sur le dernier accès à un service de courrier électronique ou à un autre service de télécommunication ou service de communication dérivé.

Un nouveau type de surveillance a pour objet la surveillance en temps réel de données secondaires et du contenu tronqué de services d'accès au réseau, tandis qu'un autre est prévu pour la surveillance rétroactive aux fins de l'identification des utilisateurs de connexions à l'internet.

L'OSCPT précise par ailleurs l'obligation légale pour les fournisseurs de supprimer les chiffrements qu'ils ont opérés. Cette obligation concerne tous les fournisseurs (FST et FSCD) ayant des obligations restreintes ou complètes. Les chiffrements de bout en bout - par exemple dans les services de messagerie - ne sont explicitement pas concernés.

Certaines dispositions de l'ordonnance du DFJP sur la mise en œuvre de la surveillance de la correspondance par poste et télécommunication (OME-SCPT) doivent également être modifiées. Les délais de traitement doivent ainsi être adaptés pour prendre en compte les nouveaux types de renseignements dans l'OSCPT. Pour le reste, les modifications sont d'ordre rédactionnel.

La consultation dure jusqu'au 6 mai 2025.

A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source) (alternativeto.net)
 

I tried to make a list on AlternativeTo that has all the apps you ever needs. I tried to avoid services and stick with apps, however there is a few services like Cloud-sync Notes, Password manager, E-mail aliases and a few others. I tried to stick with Free (as in free beer) Apps and when there is great options Free (as in Freedom) and open source.

Do you have any recommandations so I can improve that list without bloating it too much ?

Some apps downloaded from AuroraStore are asking me to link my Google account on my device which I don't want (lemmy.ml)
 

I don't use Google account on most of my devices. I have an older phone on LineageOS 22.1 that I use mainly to test apps. It has GApps installed but I never sign in. I have faced a couple apps that on startup are launching the PlayStore app and ask me to sign in, I guess for "security". Is there a way to bypass that ? I don't want to link my Google profile and would love to use this app offline like I should.

Is this something that could be done with LuckyPatcher ? Is there easier methods ?

Audio stuttering on many Proton games ChimeraOS that had no issue before. (lemmy.ml)
 

I have been using ChimeraOS on my living room PC and it has worked well most of the time without issues. Recently I had audio stuttering on a new game and fixed it by using an older Proton build. But then I started a game that I have played many hours on this machine without any issue and suddenly had audio stuttering again on this title that previously had no audio issue with. Then I realized it is a problem with most of my library... This is really annoying for some title.

Anyone experienced something similar recently ? I have updated ChimeraOS twice since and updated the Proton Experimental build etc... Don't know if it is related to Proton, to a driver, to Chimera... How could I debug this ?

Is there a way to speed up the process of importing non-steam games to Steam with artwork, proper name, etc... (lemmy.ml)
 

Pretty much the title. I installed my GOG games through Lutris and wanted to rapidly import them to Steam. Same for emulated ROM. Do you have advices ?

Is there any other reddit client forking for lemmy ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Would like to see open source client such as Infinity, Stealth, RedReader, etc... going to lemmy.

The best case scenario would be all reddit client including Apollo, Boost, etc... supporting the transition to lemmy but this is quite unlikely unfortunately...

Make SimpleMobileTools considering XMR for donations ! (github.com)
 

SimpleMobileTools are making simple yet great open source android apps. No ads, no trackers, cheap price or even free. I personnaly love Simple Gallery Pro and have a lot of respect for the devs, I would like to donate since they accept cryptos... unfortunately only BTC, ETH and LTC. Let them heard of the benefits of Monero so I (and maybe you) could donate to them for their work !

What's the best way for a commerce to accept XMR but getting paid in fiat currency ? (lemmy.ml)
 

I recently discover NowPayments which looks like a cool services but does not suit well with a Monero mindset. I understand that it will have some compromises for using a service like that no matter how serious the ones running it are. I was just wondering if their was a simple way for a commerce to be paid in euro/dollar or whatever currency is prefered and that the customer uses XMR without comprimising any information on his/her side.

I have made a list of open source Android apps that have beautiful modern design (alternativeto.net)
 

Often people tend to say due to the lack of funding open source apps have bad UI and also sometimes terrible UX. While it’s not entierly false I’ve found myself some beautifuly designed apps and wanted to share them here.
