Sortie progressive des #GAFAM

Aurora Store :
Tu veux quitter Google, mais continuer à utiliser certaines apps du Play Store ?
Aurora Store peut être une bonne transition.

Aurora Store est une alternative au Google Play Store, qui permet de télécharger des apps sans compte Google et sans services Google installés sur ton téléphone.

1. Connexion anonyme (aucune donnée personnelle partagée)
2. Compte Google (optionnel, pas recommandé pour les puristes)

Mais attention...
Même en mode anonyme, Aurora se connecte aux serveurs de Google pour récupérer les apps.
Donc, il reste une dépendance technique à Google.

How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?

In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.

There are a few limitations though:

* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location

What is great:

* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access

Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).

But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.

Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.

In general I am really happy with this system.

And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.

I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.

But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

ChatGPT funktioniert nicht, wenn man die App über den Aurora Store installiert hat?

#wtf
Sollte gerade für einen bekannten Fotos runterladen welche auf einer Feier mit einer #Fotobox gemacht wurden.
Kann ja nicht so schwer sein, es gibt einen Veranstaltungscode und einen Link.
Häää? Man MUSS eine app installieren?okay.
APP installieren... Ach ne, doch nicht, mein Smartphone mit #iode will das nicht, komische Fehlermeldungen im #aurorastore. Dann halt mit nem Uralttablet.
Och neee, man muss sich mit E-Mail, Name, Nachname & Geburtsdatum registrieren? Nicht euer Ernst!!!

I was going to get #GroundNews

So where do you get your news?

Aurora Store recently integrated app compatibility ratings powered by @techlore's Plexus and added support for Google Account Login via MicroG (enabled by default)! Among other changes.

@clahult Könntest du nicht den #AuroraStore nutzen? Den kann man via #fdroid installieren.

Updated #Sailfish to 5.0 on my #Xperia 10ii. Seems to work and now microG also. However the #Jeep app still doesn’t log in. It doesn’t crash anymore but then just states login error after giving credentials. The network is a bit iffy so will need to investigate further. Also #AuroraStore got an update but after hitting update it closes down on start.

Actual native things so far work, but I haven’t yet done broader testing. Still a nice environment.

Zwar kein GrapheneOS, aber schon immer (seit #Android) F-Droid...

Wenn nicht zu umgehen: #AuroraStore (früher #YalpStore).
