Some people use it proudly about themselves, but if somebody who doesn’t love and respect you use it about you, it can be an insult.

Ja, det er fint!

Hvis du trenger et forum med mange norske så kanskje du kan søke det opp utenfor lemmy, basert på noe du er interessert i? Det er fortsatt ganske mange forum som driftes uavhengig av plattformer som lemmy og reddit. Har du hørt om ‘Gaysir’ for eksempel, for skeive? Eller ‘Kvinneguiden’, et stort forum der kvinner og andre diskuterer alt mellom himmel og jord?

Det er nok mange med norsk bakgrunn på Lemmy, men fordi alle kan engelsk, er det ikke så mye aktivitet i de norske foraene.

Jeg vet ikke hvor alle henger for tiden, men jeg abonnerer i alle fall på denne lemmyen!

Oh my, how did I miss this. Thank you!

Reading Lake of Darkness by Adam Roberts. I’m not that far in yet, but the world building is really fascinating. It seems like such a beautiful yet creepy future for human kind.

I hear these two guys while listening to the curling matches during the olympics. Yup yup yup!

Keep the rule as it is, and take those kinds of discussions in communities meant for political discussion. There’s already enough of US politics everywhere else.

I guess I’ll be traveling with a baggie of white stuff, then! I’ll bring some from home, as well as a line for air drying. Thank you for the link, I had completely forgotten about inflatable hangers.

We’ll be traveling for between two and three weeks. This will be my longest trip with only a small ish backpack, but I have done a week before.

I’m hoping to get by on around three to four days of clothes, but it would be fun to try no-bag sometime.

I had no idea about the aquaplexes, that’s so nice. I’ll add wet wipes to my list. That seems like a very good comfort item with many possible use cases.

Thank you also for reminding me about ticket validation in Italy. I need to make a list of dos and don’ts for each country.

OH, bikes! That would be so much fun.

Thank you for all of your ideas! I will remember the ziploc bag. I’ve usually only done that for planes, but it is undoubtedly practical and less space consuming for other kinds of trips too.

Luckily we already share most toiletries, but I’ll suggest making a shared list and remove any duplicates.

While your model may not be supported now, it may be in the future. I would join some of the communities that make custom roms and operating systems and lurk a bit to see if someone is doing a port to your phone and are near the stage where they need testers.

Look at deGoogle guides to see what you can do to make your phone safer in the mean time. Every little bit can help you be more secure.

The Waydroid container runs Lineage, a degoogled android based os. Many apps require Google play services to run, or they do other checks that fail in that environement. Most stuff from F-droid will run.

Signal does not have a native UT app at the moment, but some use Matrix bridges to send and receive messages. Others run it in Waydroid, or do experiments with the cli version. The first works very well, but you need to find/make a bridge host that you trust.

Oh, it feels very nice to use! Most of my troubles these days stem from me experimenting and running the devel version of the os. I can go days between serious issues, and the issues that do appear are never deal breakers as they don’t tend to affect basic phone functionality. It feels great and it is way too much fun.

Look into Ubuntu Touch on one of the newer supported phones. It uses Halium though, so I’m not sure it fits your definition of True Linux.

It checks all of your bullet points, but make sure the model you are considering actually has VoLTE enabled for the port.

Have a look at my other answer in this thread! If you are a tinkerer with a bit of patience, UT could be a good OS for you.

I would love to try Mobian and PostmarketOS too, I bet that there are some really good ports out there.

Why I love it:

• I love the UI. Quick, intuitive and good looking.
• Basic functions are good. The phone works well as a phone, with calls (including VoLTE for a number of newer models now), SMS, MMS, wifi hotspot ++ working
• The amount of native apps is pleasing to me. Of course, you won’t get the usual proprietary big tech developed apps, but other basics are there.
• The flexibility is awesome. You can install apps from the Open Store built especially for UT, Snaps (not all of which are meant for small screens with touch input, but you get to try it and decide for yourself if you can make it work), nix packages, installing stuff in libertine containers, AND Android apps in a Waydroid container.
• The community is extremely helpful and diverse.
• The two previous points, community + flexibility, helps whenever you miss one of the larger apps. Miss Telegram? Meet the native app Teleports! Miss Signal? The community can give you several options. WhatsApp? Of course some generous soul has made a UT adapted web app that you can use in stead.
• I finally feel free. I own my device, and the software I run on it doesn’t feel invading or dishonest.

What is sometimes difficult:

• I need to be honest about the browser situation. The default browser has a nice UI, but it is very outdated. There is a lot of improvements going on behind the scenes, but the new version is not ready for launch yet. The alternatives are UT adapted versions of Librewolf and Firefox, but they are both in an alpha state.
• VoLTE only works for some of the supported phones, and it is still considered experimental.
• Banking and ID verification apps have almost no UT native solutions, and running them in Waydroid is very hit and miss.
• General stability. There are more bugs and crashes here than in Android/iOS.

I daily drive Ubuntu touch and like it very much, but I can see how that would be hard in certain situations. Keep doing some research, and pick one that seems to fit your needs to try it out! Only you can decide if it is good enough for your particular circumstances.
