All the #Andriod nerds at work (the overwhelming majority of our software devs) were spamming the work Slack random channel with opinions on models, battery life, upgrades fingerprint scanners, features, etc. until I asked everyone what their favorite command-line text editor was, and they all took the bait.

For those who are in thr fallout of the #LastPass fallout.

Hello from #GraphineOS on #Andriod it definitely feels very different from iOS

So for my #infosec and #privacy minded folks, what android OS do you use? I am leaving iPhone for a Pixel 6a. Thoughts?

Does anyone know of any good alternative Android apps to Google Maps?

Waze is great, but I need to use it for walking directions too.

Thanks

It's more rewarding to make better apps for mobile #linux distros like #ubuntu_touch and #postmarketos and make them usable in existing Android devices than focusing on niche devices like #librem5 and #pinephone . At least that way, more people will use mobile linux as a secondary device.

I'm currently in a country where everything is organized via whatsapp. Which I don't have and don't want. So what to do? My solution: spin up an #andriod #container, install whatsapp, use local prepaid number to register and connect via #noVNC....easy, right?

Which is your prefered #PeerTube App on #Andriod ?

How to install desktop Ubuntu on your Android device - I tried it and it works really well with LibreOffice, desktop Chromium etc

The only requirement for this to run is a rooted phone (which my Pixel 2 XL is) and the instructions were pretty easy to get Linux Deploy to work. Once that was in I could choose from a variety of Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Debian, etc and depending on which one, then also the version and some desktop UIs. Its not everything as I noticed I could install latest Ubuntu with MATE desktop but did not see Kubuntu by default, although I see there is a custom option too.
Internet browsing and app installs are working fine, but I was having trouble mounting a local folder on the phone to browse its data, and also to browse my computer. But I could access my Nextcloud server and get files from there. It works perfectly fast enough.
To be honest a phone's screen is a bit small to do decent work on, so I see two useful scenarios maybe for this:
1. Boot it as-is and display via Chromecast to a TV screen, and just connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse to operate it. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10ee29882c837a5fd3a2289414edf77a27
