sebulon<p>I had my first phone call today on my OnePlus 6T running PostmarketOS with Phosh!!! What I did? Honestly not sure! 😄️</p><p>The difference this time is that I built my own v25.06 stable release of pmOS Phosh using `pmboostrap` and messed around with audio levels since the mic sound was over amplified and sounded crackling/popping at first on recordings.</p><p>So does that mean this is the year of the Linux smartphone?

tsk<p>It occurs to me that when people take the position of a privileged uber-consumer in an IT discussion, and declare they won't settle for anything "less" than having access to the proprietary thing (banking app instead of the bank website), that all they're really doing is abdicating control of their own lives to SV oligarchs. It also seems like they don't care if the rest of us are forced into the same info-ditch as they reside.</p><p>We call this topic <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/deGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deGoogle</span></a> but its actually the reason why I distrust most <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> devotees: They will argue for the proprietary app every time and suggest you're some kind of vagrant for using a website instead of a proprietary app from the one, true App Store.</p>

Monique :coffefied:<p>Welcome to Gemini. Thanks Google! You stopped supporting my Pixel nearly 2 years ago, no more security updates since then, and yet you found it in your heart to install some bogus AI crap that I never asked for with no simple Off switch or uninstall option. Disabled what I could but the urge to get Graphene/Lineage etc. is now trumping my procrastination. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeGoogle</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
Bryan (he/him/his) 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈<p>I highly recommend Obtainium. It is a great way of installing and updating applications onto your Android phone. Instead of being a central store, you add the source for each project (from Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc) for the applications you use. It is the only "store" I added on my GrapheneOS phone. It allows absolute granular control of what I choose to install from the source; true digital intentional-ism. </p><p>Main: <a href="https://obtainium.imranr.dev/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">obtainium.imranr.dev/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>Source: <a href="https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Also, here is a list of "completed applications" make it easier to add them to Obtainium: <a href="https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Obtainium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Obtainium</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/deGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deGoogle</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrapheneOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apps</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/applications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>applications</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>github</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/gitlab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gitlab</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>codeberg</span></a></p>
