Hmm… are you sure?
In their docs they say it uses the Linux Kernel and bridges other Linux libraries including those used in Android.
It does provide a way to install Android apps in a sandbox.
They have their own hardware phones and do support some Sony Xperia phones, which is the one I have.
What about SailfishOS?
I use it and it’s really nice.
Be careful!
Author made an announcement that Smartube may be compromised.
Read his notes.
For streaming, if you like documentaries, I recommend arte.
I really like their app and diversity of subjects.
edit: For smartphones, I'm typing this from my Sony Xperia flashed with SailfishOS, same OS that Jolla phones have.
Depending on your question, maybe you have a lemmy group (sublemmy?) for the tech you are working with.
Or you can try ask here.
Myself and others can try and help you.
I’m test driving Deezer as Spotify alternative.
Looks really promising. You can even import your Spotify playlists and music to Deezer.
I’m also onboard doing this and I’ve been doing what I can.
I use Proton mail with custom domain, and Proton pass and basically all Proton apps.
Got a 2nd hand phone where I flashed sailfish OS.
I have my own private cloud using Hetzner VPS and backed up everything from iCloud into my own cloud.
I’m also a software developer and will start soon working on some projects, but still need to come up with a plan.
For now I’m just migrating everything to existing European alternatives.
Any ideas for future projects just share here.
“Sir, what about Greenland?”
“Who?!”
The reality is it’s incredibly difficult to cut ties with the Meta tech, as we got so used to it since the Facebook early days, then WhatsApp, then Instagram, etc.
There are alternatives but to convince half world to change is a huge task. Human Beings resist change by default and stick to something that works.
It’s also convenient because you can create an event and your friend are right there to be invited, so it’s an effortless task.
If you want an alternative you need to have something convenient, effortless and very easy to use.
Something like an app that lists events in your area, you select one event and then share it with your contacts. Or an app that shares integration with Facebook but does create invites outside Facebook.
There are plenty alternatives and ideas.
As a rule (at least for me), never never ever accept take home assignments or tasks that either require full control of your pc, or requires you to pull some sketchy repository from GitHub.
That’s one way to get infected with malware and potentially have your data stolen.
If you have to absolutely do this, do it on a VM.
But 99.99999% of the cases, there’s no need to install control software to a pc or having a 3rd party lib installed.
If a recruiting company requires this, then it’s a red flag.
You did well. You’ll find something soon.
Stay strong!
US tech is a big pile of garbage.
All of it is to make you addicted, to track you, to influence you, to collect all sort of intel about you, and then use that against you. And they will serve you ads as the cherry on top.
For me they can all disappear and be gone. There are plenty of activities (internet or otherwise) that can be done without that pile of shit.
I have Proton with custom domain as email service, I have my own encrypted backup in an European VPS, have my own private cloud also in European VPS.
Don’t need US garbage.
So what they doing is basically piracy.
And not just them, any AI in that so called “race” is allegedly doing it.
So why do we get punished if we download something from the Internet?
