I don’t know how widespread this is yet, but I experienced it for the first time yesterday on Chromium. Have not on Librefox.
I didn’t know what was going on, so I left the site. Was only trying Chromium because the site had issues with Librefox.
Does Ubuntu Touch work on the 3a? That was my last phone, but after it was no longer supported by Graphene I bought a 7a. I don’t really like Ubuntu but would like to experiment with a Linux phone.
I forget who, but a user on lemmy.ca has done some surveys of users (mostly on that instance?) and it would be interesting to see how much, if any, overlap exists between Linux users and Hannah Montana fans. I guess if this OS exists, there might be someone.
I am about 20 years in, started with Ubuntu and have been with Debian stuff since. I’m not a power user, so when I do any CLI work it’s familiar, but more recently have wanted to get a laptop to experiment with something different. I did appreciate Lubuntu on a cheap used laptop I bought about 15 years ago, currently using something provided thru Mint.
I’ve had very few problems. Not with software at any rate!
I’ve used different Linux OSs for 20 years and switched DEs without a thought and without a big install and never had a problem. Seems like one of the advantages, but maybe I am not using the programs you are.
I had Lingonaut recommended awhile ago here, but it is in early development and still doesn’t support desktop use. It looks like it has apple and android support (maybe? both in alpha I think) but that isn’t how I would interact.
It’s been a long time since I used Ubuntu, but at the time I did I recall running into issues keeping too many old kernels. They were stored in a fixed space folder (or maybe partition?) that was like 100MB and sometimes wouldn’t clear out automatically, so I remember this. May not be relevant now, but if it is, space in the storage folder is the limiting factor so you would need to change that. If it IS a partition, then you would need to deal with all that is involved with that.
edited to add that my current OS only stores three or four as well. I have never really dived into it.
I am US based, so maybe not relevant, but is it a good replacement for Merlin?
Does this have maps of it’s own?
I use this, it’s pretty great! Not really a replacement for the stock app, but I use a non-stock OS so it doesn’t matter to me. It is more like messaging before GIFs and whatnot, but not hard to figure those things out if you want them.
Ya, it works! But it is very much like a phone interface on the computer. Maybe not perfect but it exists.
Same. I need to step my game up! Profiles don’t look that hard, just something to learn 🙂

Thanks for the tips and discussion! Fdroid was incredibly slow to work with, but I have installed osmand with some additions and found that it can possibly replace Gaia. It has a photo layer option and many other things that ate helpful. I will need to spend more time with it, but I feel good about it!
Thanks for pushing me in this direction.
What about swappa? I just replaced my 3a with a 7a. I would consider donating it to the cause but had thought about doing something with it.
I’m in a pretty similar boat to you. Not great financials, not a lot of spare time, I live in a remote location with limited purchasing options. But I made the decision a long time ago to not use Amazon. That does mean purchasing from multiple sources, seeking vendors who will sell products, and maybe pay a little more.
The thing about Amazon is that their pricing is artificial. The whole package, from item price to shipping is meant to capture you, the consumer, into their ecosystem. I am willing to spend a small amount extra to not support hegemonic practices. It isn’t even that much money, and the time investment to find sources is just that (an investment). For most of my mail order stuff, I already know the vendors to use.
I don’t like to castigate folks for using amazon, and I apologize if I was too confrontational, but I do want to encourage people to engage in their options before amazon is all we have.
Best wishes finding quality sources!
Amazon is pretty necessary in much of the US
I couldn’t disagree more. Amazon is a choice. You have to choose other options and move away from the mindset of immediacy.
I don’t think I am the target audience for these products, and have no answers for you, but am curious what these would do above what turning the device off. Is a device that is powered off still reachable? Or is this not about that?
Anyway, on to the non answers, when i worked around wiring that needed to not be affected by interference from adjacent wiring, it would we shielded by aluminum. It was thicker than household foil, and had braiding. The wires could be run with other, non shielded wires, most of which were dramatically different voltages.
I am not a scientist 😅
I used the block element feature of Ublock, but I don’t know if that works in incognito or if it blocks their cookies. I also grew tired of having to disable it but didn’t consider the ramifications of making it invisible to me 🤔
Seems ok for me, since the 3a is an old phone, mostly kept around to move this one group to Signal/Molly.
