Money Manager Ex can track currency and assets in one convenient location, and it even has an Android app

Knowing that it is an individual is a lot more reassuring, knowing that it isn’t a state actor or some shady group

Otuside of the already mentioned Kodi, Jellyfin/Plex, the only other decent ones I’m aware of are VLC & Foobar2000

I recently tried to airdrop a file for somebody’s iDevice to another one of theirs and it didn’t work.

Free, open source, and cross platform LocalSend worked though

That’s crazy!

Anyone know the new best place to get French content? It wasn’t perfect, but it was the only place I could find many French shows, movies. A lot of places have only the English version, or don’t have it at all (French only)

Nice, this looks like a good solution that could be solved with a script. The other solution I was thinking might work but would also require a script to get per channel url updates is from iptvcat.com

I tried thetvapp.to on a few devices recently and couldn’t get it working and previously found it struggled with big sport events, it was one of my go to’s. Is it working still on your end?

If it has a headphone jack, you can plug in a dummy aux port. I’m convinced that the removal of the headphone jack was to ensure the microphones are always reachable

Everytime I see stuff like this I’m thankful most of my devices (hopefully all one day) either have cameras/microphones that have hardware kill switches (HKS), or can be unplugged from the device

You could try installing Samsung’s Tizen GNU/Linux OS via Termux and let us know how it goes.

To my understanding, they have the same looking UI such that if Samsung ever wanted to move customers over from Android everything would look familar, without their customers knowing it’s a different OS under the hood.

I’m sure it’s possible, but you’d need a device specifically supported by the distro, you’d probably need a custom bootloader, among other things that make it not as easy as doing dual-boot on a less locked down device. It’s probably harder on purpose by Google.

Dat shit cray. My grampa has no idea how to use a mobile phone so he just doesn’t have one. Thankfully no such requirements where we live

Fair enough 😆

If you have a SIP provider, this can be hooked up to the GNOME Calls app, and GNOME Chats lets you connect to XMPP and Matrix. Not everyone will have those, but it is one step above the native Android & iOS apps in that you can actually use them without telephony.

They have better wake mechanisms than something like Signal Desktop, Element Desktop etc do currently.

You’re right in that you will not be able to forward calls and texts from Android to your app-based Linux distro call and text apps, but internet-based apps should work.

This method is how the Nexphone provides a GNU/Linux environment

Run any Android specific apps in Waydroid (e.g. WhatsApp) and it appears as just another icon in your app drawer, or use a web app, again you can make it a dedicated icon in your app drawer.

Unfortunately Google Pixel 7 is not a device supported yet on any distros I’ve seen; PostmarketOS has the best support for Android devices. Across distros, Fairphone has the best support.

What people with Android devices can do though, is install Linux on top of Android. Opposite of Waydroid (not as good), but at least lets you play around with it to get familiar without needing root:

• Andronix

• UserLAnd

• Termux (install distro via command line)
