Wer denkt sich so einen Käse aus?
#Digitalisierung mit dem #Holzhammer, ohne Sinn und Verstand.
Vermutlich ist die App nicht mal #freieSoftware und läuft nicht auf alternativen Betriebssystemen wie #Mobian oder #PostmarketOS.
Da zahlt man 362.80 €/a, aber kann den Fahrschein nicht nutzen, wenn man kein Google Android oder Apple iOS haben will? Krass.

Build one.

Use #OpenStack or ask an EU provider to use it.

How about #Mastodon? 
I'm sure, that Signal is secure (for its intended use cases) and can be trusted. But…

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,
After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.
We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and **your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app** : )
Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.
The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.
[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

I don't want Gemini 
if I like scrolling insta, YouTube, Libby and pikmin bloom, which #MobileOS should I try for my #pixel6? A #linux one, like #ubuntu or #mobian? Not a fan of #eelo need for email, just got into #proton. I see that #grapheneOS and #calyxOS could be good, but I'm trying to stay away from the conspiracy side of #privacy.
Thanks for the #TechHelp!
@furilabs nice, nice, so #FuriOS is just like #SailfishOS or #PureOS, #Mobian, #PostmarketOS, ... yeah, it's a marketing post ;)
But (for me much more important) are you planning a second phone with for example a #Rockchip or at least a #Snapdragon SoC? Or do you just planning to use #Gigaset Smartphones as your base platform?
@chesterdott @dos Answering the latter question: you can follow the #MobileLinux and #LinuxOnMobile hashtags here in the fediverse. Also, apart from following #postmarketOS, #Mobian, #UbuntuTouch and other projects directly, there's also (at least) one dedicated blog that can serve you better: @linmob

Erf, I upgraded my #mobian #librem5 and it break the mobile-config-firefox

I dig a little and seems to be an issue with FileUtils

I finally went with https://diginate.com for the @mobian stickers, and also ordered some samples from Sticker Mule. I received both today, and prefer the Diginate ones (on the right):
* more contrast, colors are more vivid
* powerful editor to precisely adjust the cutting mask and padding (avoid unwanted white borders)
* accept 600dpi pictures for a slightly more detailed result
Both look nice and are well cut though, and the photo really doesn't do them justice
Hi @phosh, I'm currently running #Mobian with #Phosh on a #Librem5. It looks great and works very well. Thanks for all this great work!
I have a question though, because I'm not a big fan of background images. Is it be possible to completely disable the background image and have just a black background (or could a plain black background be added)?
I like the very clean non-distracting black background like it currently is on #PureOS Byzantium.
They said #XMPP was connected to #xampu, so I made some! 
Hair is personal. Messaging should be too 
The owner of Beeja Botanicals is my former classmate, and she's used the shampoo herself, so I know it's good! The first batch is ready and will be available for purchase at #PravConf (or will be, once I've finished wrapping it all 
)

[The XMPP logo] Introducing xampu, the XMPP themed shampoo bar!
What if your shampoo brand forced you to hang out only with people who use the same brand of shampoo? [Two people with focus lines on their hair. A lightning bolt strikes between them]
We think such restrictions are as absurd for messaging apps as they would be for hair products. [Similarly, two speech bubbles with a lightning bolt betwixt]
XMPP is a common language (protocol) that different chat services can use to talk to each other. [Image of many connected speech bubbles]
[Green banner saying] XMPP stands for "eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol". Since both those are a mouthful, people in Brazil have taken to affectionately pronouncing it xampu—which means shampoo.
[A rabbit] This shampoo bar by Beeja Botanicals is hand made using natural ingredients. It is free from harmful products like SLS and paraben, and contains no animal-tested products.
Like making your own shampoo, running your own chat server allows you to address local ethical and technical issues—more privacy? solar powered? larger upload size? integrated login?—that matter to you.
Not everyone has the time and energy to make shampoo, or to run their own XMPP server. Proceeds from this shampoo bar will go towards funding Prav, which operates XMPP services so you don't have to. [A pigeon]

@GossiTheDog MAYBE (?) it's a time to fund projects as #postmarketOS & #Mobian which aims to provide #FOSS operating system for the phones, rather than paying #Apple premium? Vote with your wallet!
