@soulfirethewolf @ijeff its biggest lockdown is the security model, which even though it won't disallow you from doing anything you couldn't otherwise do (if you're motivated enough), it draws the line of tradeoffs to make. I gave up rooting and a lot of stuff (like contactless payments) for it's security and stability, and I'm fine with that, but you should ask yourself if that's worth it for you. If you have to go out of your way to break the security model, even once, then it isn't for you.

@netchami @ijeff ironically, graphene had to do its porting through unofficial source releases and then finish the porting by comparing against the official A14 source; whereas Samsung, as a partner of google, had exclusive access to the unreleased source.

@skullgiver @ijeff people like eSIM because it allows multiple networks on phones that only have one physical slot; which nowadays, in my experience, is all except some cheap Xiaomis that have a microSD slot that doubles as dual SIM.

@Hikiru @Squizzy I live in Spain and I'm planning to move to Denmark or Norway in a few years. Heat is impossible to manage here, and the political system is almost beyond salvation.

@MrsDoyle @steebo_jack I used to have that phone, and that and the headphone jack are the only things I miss on my 6a.

@ladfrombrad @QuazarOmega Root + trackercontrol + adaway does wonders

@Psythik @gencha I use one of the millions of YT music clients on F-Droid (ViMusic) and it works like a charm, though if you want Google account support you'll have to use ReVanced manager to patch a compatible version of YT music.

@HidingCat @shaked_coffee @gelberhut @Humanius an 8th gen i7 is still a beast, even if most laptop ones only have 4 cores.

@cheery_coffee @Klystron You have the option to also export to raw, so that you'll have the full sensor data, without lossy compression, processing or AI.

@Pfalkingham @Klystron you could use a case that elevates the fold's thickness to match the camera bump.

@mmstick @Ogeon Have you looked into the algorithm Google uses for material you on Android? You could use it to do the same in Cosmic.
