My talk for the @linuxfoundation Open Source Policy and Ecosystem Forum went well 🥳🥳

[kerfuffle@mastodon.online]

@Gina @linuxfoundation Did you mention other mobile OS options like SailfishOS, UbuntuTouch and PostMarketOS?

@Gina @linuxfoundation Will there be a video recording of your talk be published? Or slides?

[edcates@mastodon.social]

@Gina @linuxfoundation I am glad it went well! Thank you so much for pointing out the (mobile) elephant in the room.

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@sunweaver @linuxfoundation there's no video, but I'll share my slides or if I have time will write a blogpost around it.

Due to Apple and Google/Alphabet we have gone backwards in the last 20 years.
I designed (& assembled with SW help from others) a pocket sized tablet running Debian, Thunderbird, Firefox, VLC etc with SD card, inset PCMCIA slot (so only aerial stick out), speaker, mic, touch screen, 3x 3.5mm (earphone, line in, mic). Prototype 4G modem. Geographical phone number. ISDN qualiity VOIP. Before the iPhone was sold in Ireland in 2007.
Choice of windows + stylus GUI or Tiles.

Sadly banks, such Revolut, are App only, no website and only on supported iOS/Android.
So the best alternate in the world is locked out by the Duopoly.
I can't even use my tablet sized laptop!

Need regulation that all Government/ Public services/Banking is also fully functional on any mobile Browser independent of OS. Mobile screens & browsers good enough last 10+ years.

@linuxfoundation For anyone curious about the slides, I've posted them here: https://cryptpad.fr/file/#/2/file/E7LJOumtTOEGAmGhiUyIPV9q/

I don't have time to write a blogpost, so I hope the slides speak for themselves. And yes I've mentioned loads of alternative app stores and OS's by name during the presentation

Edit: also this is only the first time I'm talking about the mobile ecosystem, it certainly won't be the last

@Gina @linuxfoundation PWAs are cross-platform and fairly easy to develop. They're an open standard and they do not require an app store. PWAs should be the primary app form. It's the only app form I'm using for my apps.

@Gina @linuxfoundation je hebt het toch maar “even” gedaan. Petje af. Goed gedaan
