  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

  • Most of them don't support generic 2FA codes and sadly require some sort of proprietary app that talks to their servers. Setting them up usually also requires some sort of identification; think receiving a pin in the post. As far as I can tell, the only other option for me is to rent some sort of pin generation terminal from the bank which is, of course, ridiculously expensive.

  • I don't think that it's the lack of quality hardware what is stopping adoption of Linux on phones. There are many resons why I don't consider someting like PostmarketOS viable as a daily driver for most.

    First of all some apps are just not available on Linux. Banking apps are a prime example. Most banks are now requiring some form of app where I live and they don't even consider Linux. But that's also another problem in it self.

    Secondly: driver support. Drivers aren't something one thinks about when talking about phones. But they are needed and mobile phones being what they are, most manufacturers aren't really open to do anything in that regard.

    As an Android developer I'm also annoyed by the restrictive power management of Android. But it's there for a reason. On PostmarketOS my phone would be dead after sitting around all day doing noting. On Android I can maybe squeeze two to three days of use out of the same phone. And that's not even with the OEM rom.

    That being said, I hope for a future were all of the current issues can be solved and we finally have a viable alternative to Apple and Google.

    To be clear, I'm in no way trying to defend what Google is doing.

  • Personally I host a private Invidious instance for my partner and I. We both use the iOS version of Yattee. It’s not great and there are quite a few bugs, both in Invidious and Yattee, but it works well enough for the occasional video. Invidious doesn’t support ads and Yattee has build-in SponserBlock, which works well.

  • More often than not gently heating the tip of the pen with a lighter will revitalise it. It’s worth a shot before throwing it out.

  • What's the best messaging platform?

  • That’s sadly where it’s at. I’ve been lucky and managed to convince most of my friends to give Signal a go and in the end we stuck with it. But we’re all technically minded people so YMMV.

  • If you’re in the GNOME ecosystem, you could give Authenticator a shot. It’s worked quite well for me so far.
