From 2006 onward I was a Gnome 2 fanboy and you could not convince me to use KDE.
Fast forward to Gnome Shell, and KDE Plasma; You couldn’t get me to touch Gnome. I love love love Plasma so much.

I can’t wait for Light No Fire, looks like it will be amazingly fun.
If you are using the stock Fairphone OS, you have Google Play Services installed. /e/OS comes on the Murena version, or you have to install it.
Sure enough, no login wall from Debian desktop. This is some Android autodetection BS that is realizing I don’t have a Google account on the device and trying to force a login.
Ugh, I neeeed a Linux phone.
Ill bet they detect the Voyager client or Android. Lemme try this from desktop too.
On a non-google android (Fairphone 6, e/OS) this is what I am forcibly redirected to every time.

Do you have google play services on your device?
You have to login to see their patents? Lol.


I do not miss the high pitched background screech of CRTs. Monitors or TVs. The TVs from the late 90s that would show blank screen instead of static were the loudest.
Comaps is not a fork of OSMAnd… OSMAnd is a high powered offline maps and trip planning toolkit with many layer options, custom layers, multiple map views, and a range of plugins.
Comaps is… Well an offline compatible Google mapsish clone. It doesnt have anywhere near the capability of OSMAnd. Its more “general user” focused.


The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.
/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.
One of the reasons I prefer Nextcloud is it makes a lot of this easier. Nextcloud Notes is simple MD file and subfolder structure. Nothing special, no special clients needed. They have a droid client, the web version works from desktop, but you can also just sync the folder to a device and open them with anything.
The proprietary format of Obsidian and others like Joplin was too abrasive across clients for me and too locked in to their format. I prefer just using MD because I can edit if with whatever.
