Do you use a device with open source Android firmware? What device, which distro and what do you do with it? I have a Samsung tablet with LineageOS and apps from F-Droid. Other than displaying dire warnings about the unlocked bootloader every time it cold boots, It’s great for a “recliner system”: email, Web browsing,...

So I installed this app that wants permissions to my photos and/or files so I can upload a picture. Totally normal.

I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?

They’ve started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you’re searching for....

In order to get an Android-only app working on a desktop computer I installed Weston and Waydroid which worked, but as I (and the target machine) run Mint 21 it’s not as simple as just running Waydroid and having it work, plus there is no way to close out Waydroid from within itself. In order to make it easier to start and...

These apps have support for huge amount of printers and allow printing over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and most importantly, USB....
