@filister I picked up a new P7 pro a few months ago to try Lineage, Calyx, and Graphene. My daily is a OnePlus 11. I really enjoyed the Pixel and set it up for daily use. I stayed with it for a while, but cellular connectivity is really poor compared with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. So it's now a combo test device and fallback if something happens to my OP11.
I use SimpleHttp server but it’s not open source and available only on play store. I use this to download epub from my e-reader after having downloaded them on my phone. Now I will look into foss solutions proposed in this Post, through termux or other apps, thanks.
Edit: indeed with termux + caddy + termux widget it’s just perfect
I tried the universal firewall rules and apart from block port 80, I didn’t manage to configure it in a way to not lose connectivity. I also use Adguard DNS, which I set manually on my phone, so the DNS only mode isn’t very beneficial for me either.
How is it suspect? They call it source first or some bullshit but the point of the liscence is to stop people from putting fake futo apps with ads on the play store.
But the code is still completely open, you can look at it as much as you want
OP asked for FOSS, and if this keyboard had met OPs other criteria, it would have failed the FOSS check (it’s a source-available license). It’s also a roll-your-own license and a very very short one at that. It’s missing a lot of key protections for both the company and the consumer.
I’m pretty steadfast on using GPL software wherever i can, especially for something as mission-critical as a keyboard. Non-gpl projects have a tendency to get bought up and relicensed or corrupted in some other way over time (sometimes a very long time, but time nevertheless). I’ll make exceptions for things that are less critical, like games, but core system must be GPL or offer equivalent protections for the end user.
Source-available is still good for auditability though, making it more secure in the short-term.
I just realized, you’re an ML user. Aren’t you supposed to be hyper-communist? Stallman was probably one of the most communist in terms of software development.
If it’s not source-available, then it’s somewhere between source-available and OSS - that license is very aggressively in favor of futo and against the general public.
Just to clarify the scale:
Best: FLOSS (GPL, etc)
Better: FOSS (Apache, etc)
Good: OSS (MIT, etc.)
<–Futo is here
Bad: Source-Available <–or here
Worst: Closed-Source/Proprietary
If you watch their videos, they explain it. They don’t want to call it a free product because they’re working hard on it and should be paid for it. But it is a perpetual trial license for those that don’t have the means or ability to pay.
I’m not sure, but you can use the app “Canta” if you want to remove system apps, it categorises them into safe and unsafe to remove. Very useful app, but it does require adb to operate. Shizuku can provide that for you on-device.
Duck it or f"ck it.
Manually degoogling a phone can result in many unwanted problems. Essential aosp softwares are REPLACED by its proprietary alternatives by google . The best way to go is use an Aosp ROM or microg ROM/os. Like GrapheneosMicrog4lineageCalyxos or any other you like
