not sure if it has your m3u8 feature but I’m using Auxio I find it snappier than vlc and its more granular about which folder I want to grant it access to and not just demands all file access

just try some out via live boot? cachyOS seems like a solid choice if you’re into gaming

witchOS? 🧙‍♀️ must be whatever runs on iBroom

first time I hear about it, seems to be based on lineageOS?

What’s with the premium tiers? Seems a bit sketchy to be honest.

Agreed. Google just didn’t consent to you getting an app without ads. My hope is maybe we can circumvent it for a while with PWA or browser website bookmarks. Maybe long enough for alternatives to arrive or consumer protection to kick in. I refuse to give up hope even though I might need to abandon android. For now I guess I will just not buy another phone since androids time seems limited. Really hard to find something to recommend to family and friends that just works. My goto grapheneOS also seems more and more cut down with more and more apps refusing to work outside play store downloads or refusing to work on 3rd party OS.

any version of android that’s not vendor or downloaded from the official android website

• like https://lineageos.org/
• https://e.foundation/e-os/
• or the aforementioned GrapheneOS
• calyxos.org (paused)

Done! for the curious, original title, “Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27” new, “Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27”

Yes you’re right. I’ve worded that wrong in the title!

First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

I think it’s a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.

Well for this case in particular yes, the dev will continue to develop the app on f-droid, the platform as a whole takes a hit through this though, so who knows how long they will continue out of goodwill.

edit: Play integrity already is problematic on GrapheneOS

The largest medicare provider in germany states legislative reasons they won’t support other 3rd party OS’

Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn’t get past me, but I wasn’t aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.

I don’t buy groceries online, but I make an effort not to go to the store hungry, to reduce impulse buying of junk/unhealthy food.

search engine says, it should work fine.

missing the chance for elemental illness big sad

Been pretty happy with my glorious gaming i2 big enough for my hand plenty of utility and nice and light-weight. Lightweight is one of those things you dismiss until you experience it, it’s game changing in my opinion.

Had to set up profiles initially on win10, for lack of Linux software support, but the changes stay on the device memory, so works fine in Linux afterwards

Found the company after deep diving switches, difference between chinese and japanese OMROM and digging for optical switches for mice. The i2 isn’t that but they use high quality switches that dont die easily like my Logitech ones did.

I respect them for their openness towards repair and their mission statement I remember something about making the mouse they wanted themselves, but couldn’t find a link to it.

Yes and google took care of it to stays this way by running yt at a loss for 10 years to kill all competition. Thanks capitalism. Any competitor would need to climb this mountain of 10 year investment billions before, having a chance of becoming a competitor, is not quite feasible. I’ve seen this trend time and time again people idolizing the golden days of a product when the company was out “acquiring users” when the product was great and fun to use before eventually becoming enshittifacted, not realizing they’ve been fooled. Its just rich people coaxing you in crushing the competition while running at a loss. The product was too good to be and you pay the price later because antitrust laws are a joke.

bloombergs ties to nvidia are just the cherry on top. While I hope they don’t let them get away with it, I think ultimately the only move to beat the DMCA bs is to ditch yt as a platform, since its rigged in favor of rights holder pretenders. The USB stick idea is pretty clever.

Hail the Klingons Ohura!
