Yes, I get the contradiction of posting a video hosted on Youtube. But I’m not going to make perfection be the enemy of good.
Why a video instead of a text post? I watched about a minute and the video is really annoying.
It’s fine, no sweat, there are solutions for viewers/lurkers:
Browser:

Android:

Sadly Invidious instances always have problems because Google keeps making breaking changes to how videos are fetched, intentionally or unintentionally.
I maintain my own private invidious instance and that motherfucker has to be rebooted every single day istg
Dude thanks for this, this is pretty awsome
No problem :)
I’d like to get on board but until jolla/sailfish has a free (as in beer) community version that I can put on my cheap phone, I really don’t care a bit for it. available for some xperia models and in a limited version, I mean come on. let it loose and reap the fruits of enthusiastic and unpaid volunteer work, what’s the holdup?
But why only as beer? Doesn’t it seem like a repetition of the Android fiasco if it’s not fully open source?
that’s kinda implied, without that premise it shouldn’t even be considered. i’m just saying that this hurdle in the form of a paid licence for just taking a look at the thing is terminally off-putting.
Great vid, but did the reviewer really have to rub the “European” aspect of it throughout? smh…
Anyways, she mentions that there’s the option of using Aurora Store + F-Droid, I wonder if govt. apps that are basically required for day-to-day services (e.g. Absher, Sehaty) would work with or without microG… I might try and find out for science, once I have the means to do so :).
Otherwise, compartmentalizing by having two phones, one Android for the govt apps and one Linux, would basically be meta until something changes.
