Yeah my exact thoughts. Repairable phones are mostly useless if the vendor blobs don’t get updated anymore after x years. Until we have an open ecosystem, as we have on desktop PCs, repairable phones are only good on paper.

Same here and I don’t even use the search that much. Love it
Exactly, well said.
Pixel 4a gang checking in. We should create a club!
Thanks for checking.
I just checked as well and on my system (arch, xfce) the file exists but it’s a symlink, created by a theme I tried but doesn’t exist on my system anymore (“qogir-gtk-theme-git”). After removing the symlinks it works.
I clicked apply in the app and a gtk.css and settings.ini files was created. The gtk.css file it’s empty. Is that the intended behavior?
Looks nice and useful thanks
I get this error using it for the first time.
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/home/xxx/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css’
Considering that file doesn’t exist the app might create it if necessary?
Cheers
Does anybody know for how many years this device gets system / security updates?
Sadly there are no options. I don’t really need a new phone, the hardware is still fine for me but not getting any updates sucks. At some point I might have to bite the bullet and get the 8a or something.
Pixel 4a checking in. 🙂
I have the same as a secondary device. It’s getting slow tho. :)
Indeed, just wanted to make sure people are aware. :)
Cheers
FYI: /etc/grub.d/10_linux
should not be edited directly for permanent changes since those changes get replaced when grub is updated.
Use /etc/default/grub
for permanent changes.
I am aware, I am using an alternative service myself for several years now. My point was that having an email service that helps fund Thunderbird would be nice. Furthermore, more alternative that ethically align with my views are always good.
In addition, we’re going to develop the tools that give people choices other than the big three.
This sentence at the very end makes me very curious. Is this a hint for a Thunderbird mail service or something similar?
On the one hand I would love to have a mail service offered by the Thunderbird team that would also fund Thunderbird development. On the other hand it’s probably not a good idea to split the development resources too thin.
It’s a work in progress. Most sites won’t work but some do. Check out this latest development update video: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=giq5iXJntgQ&t=911 That link leads directly to the “demo segment” where he opens some sites.
The browser was at first only available in serentyOS itself but lately is available as a stand alone program running on other OSs as well. It’s still pretty early days, I am exited to see where all this leads tho!
Yes and they implement EVERYTHING in house. In case you haven’t heard they also started implementing a browser engine from scratch https://ladybird.dev/ just for fun. It kinda took off and they even got some nice donations, just to keep it going and see where it leads.
The “founders” youtube channel is quit interesting. Especially the monthly update videos if you want to keep up to date with the latest developments. https://inv.tux.pizza/channel/UC3ts8coMP645hZw9JSD3pqQ
Exactly!
I am in the same boat right now. I still use a Pixel 4a. It’s a great device, has exactly the size and performance I need, perfect condition but I don’t get updates anymore. It’s insane that in a time where resources get a real problem this is still allowed. If they can’t support it at least force them to open source the software/drivers or something.
