Inspired by this Lobsters thread, and some of the great comments within it, I would like to ask if anybody is doing some hobby programming this weekend?

Polishing my current SailfishOS installation. Some systemd services to tweak things, some user scripts in .desktop files (i.e., menu icons). I'm not an app developer but I love how I can do all my Linux tweaking on my phone, too.

The OS has gotten a lot better recently, and I'm on the most suitable non-dedicated device now. It should last me some years.

I like the look of SailfishOS but there is the Ryanair app and a Banking app that I am sure will not work on it. Sometime in the future, I will probably have two phones, one for difficult apps and one with an OS that respects the user.

Who doesn't, but as I pointed out above that's not the main point for me.

the Ryanair app

Yeah probably not 🤢

and a Banking app that I am sure will not work on it.

Sure? Check here: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/banking-apps-on-sailfish-os/18438

Thanks, the banking app works!

Good. I was thinking; why shouldn't the Ryanair app work either. If it requires the full Google servcise bullshit, people got that to work, too: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/google-play-services-on-xperia-10-iii-sailfish-4-4-0-64-now-5-1-0-11/11596 and mostly @Ikraav's posts therein (weird I thought they had their own topic).
