@janvlug@mastodon.social If we want opensource mobile OSes to succeed, they need officially supported banking apps and identity verification apps. These are crucial to me but they only exist on iOS and Android.

@janvlug@mastodon.social How is the PWA support? Can you install PWAs? How's the battery? Is receiving phone calls and SMS reliable? How often do you need to reboot it? I've a Librem 5 in the drawer and don't feel like taking it out ever again. It's too hot all the time: 34 °C.

@janvlug@mastodon.social Rooting an older Android phone sounds tempting. I had to put one in the drawer because my favorite Niantic game, #Ingress was not supported anymore.

@janvlug@mastodon.social I'd consider an EU based OS instead, like Sailfish, but then again it only runs on their devices and it isn't completely OSS. Degoogled options aren't bad as well, mostly because of the rich development community and tools, but then again it might some day cease existing. It's a tricky situation, so many options.

@janvlug@mastodon.social Can you run apps that try to detect if you've rooted your phone, like banking apps (and in my country, even the official health app)?

@janvlug@mastodon.social @Gina@fosstodon.org How do you deal with Purism‘s enablement of fascists and Nazis by allowing them to utilize their platform as a safe harbor? PS: There are A TON of articles[^1] about them on the web concerning this topic, and you’d really be hard-pressed not to have heard of any of it; but maybe that’s the goal? “Free” hardware over anything?

@janvlug@mastodon.social Librem 5 Over 1000 Euro in the European country I live in. Nice idea but for me that is about 5 Months of semi Starvation.

@huntingdon@mstdn.social Regarding the price see: https://mastodon.social/@janvlug/116510085888567116 There are no is no monthly fee for the #Librem5 itself. You can use it with the provider of your choice. You can take a totally optional #PureOS subscription though: https://puri.sm/posts/pureos-optional-subscription-added-to-advance-development/ Such subscription will help funding the advancement of PureOS. Which in the end will also help the #MobileLinux eco system.
