It's been about 5 years since I've looked at Ubuntu Touch (or UBPorts?), so it was time I revisited this alternative OS.

@thelinuxEXP Salut Nick, bonne vidéo. Étonnant de voir que ca l'existe (et cé cool). Le problème, c'est le monde comme moi qui veulent switcheer, mais à cause de certaine restriction, oui toi maudit microsoft authentificateur, peuvent pas, à cause dla job qui utilise crosft:( Faudrait faire un suivi pour voir jusqu'où ca va, car waydroid, ca l'air cool en sale. Cé installable sur le desktop aussi je suppose?

@thelinuxEXP note:
UT does support fingerprint readers, maybe not on that device, but the OS itself supports using that type of sensor, and I have had multiple devices were it works fine.

There is an adblocker on the Open Store

[diogoconstantino@masto.pt]

@thelinuxEXP desktop mode works when hardware supports it, Volla Phone devices don't support

[diogoconstantino@masto.pt]

@thelinuxEXP waydroid helper app (on the OpenStore) will setup waydroid for you without using the terminal.

@mikeTesteLinuxQlub @Oleksii @thelinuxEXP Isn’t Microsoft Authenticator just another 2FA app that’s interchangeable with any other 2FA app like Google Authenticator, or Ente Auth, or 2FAS, or… ? If it’s about generating 6 digit codes that change every 30s, you’re all set, everyone and their grandma can do it.

[arcticulate@toot.community]

@thelinuxEXP Thank you for taking a look at this! I always enjoy looking at alternatives, being an old Windows Phone 8.x user myself (and briefly testing Windows 10 Mobile), before moving to Android and then iPhone.

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@vincent @Oleksii @thelinuxEXP There a feature that send a specific number, so no unfortunatly, my work place use that fking feature

But I'll check if I still can use the 6 digit code , because if i can, that will be one step closer to say goodbye to android

[oleksii@social.linux.pizza]

@mikeTesteLinuxQlub @vincent @thelinuxEXP second phone is always option too

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@Oleksii @vincent @thelinuxEXP True, but kinda an ass, because you dunno when u gonna need it trough

[vincent@floss.social]

@mikeTesteLinuxQlub @Oleksii @thelinuxEXP It’s not a party till there’s lock in!
But I gotta say, even my work Teams account uses standard TOTP 2FA that I can use with any 2FA app.

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@vincent @Oleksii @thelinuxEXP O my, there a fucking way with the 6 digits, it's just buried into so much in sub-menus (click here, click an other place, finaly click for the auth code, wen i log via web). hate dark pattern of those gafam. Have to try on the vpn app trough, because that the deal breaker

[miketestelinuxqlub@qlub.social]

@vincent @Oleksii @thelinuxEXP Just check with the vpn, it's possible to use it, they just try to scare you, "you can't use your authenticator?" > click on it, after its just the usual dark pattern sub-menu. Wow, can get rid of it if I want. nice

@theprivacydad @thelinuxEXP Hey! Does your kid know about PostmarketOS? Used it on my pixel 3a for quite a while (6-12 months?) quite happily! I didn't experience a lot of the issues they described in the blog post. From what I see online pmos seems to be a more active community (Might be biased on that though)

[captainmalu@mastodon.social]

@thelinuxEXP interessting but it seems like they don't support the device I have laying around at home.
I only have google pixel phones... I know But the first 5 generations were nice.
