It uses Tauri2 which does support Android. There isn’t an Android version of this XMPP client yet, but it is on the roadmap.

Yes, like I said, there is a need to do SoC vendor specific implementations.

There is some VoLTE support in UT. The problem is that “VoLTE” isn’t actually a standard and needs to be implemented differently for every vendor SoC, so that makes it very difficult to support.

Huh? I was not aware they stopped selling the FP5 on their main shop. But it is still easily available with other online retailers. The FP6 is sadly a bit of a down-grade as it lacks some important features like display out and USB3.

The FP5 can run Ubuntu Touch and PostmarketOS quite well, yes.

My impression is that this NexPhone just uses Android16’s built in virtualization features to run Linux and Windows. The FP5 will also be able to do that once the Android16 update becomes available for it in the near future.

Not sure why one would want to get this over a Fairphone 5 though. Same SoC, similar functionality, similar price.

Indeed, no one is really interested in using fake money (aka crypto currencies). But that doesn’t mean Taler depends on banking APIs. Taler is a complete digital bank software package and some unofficial regional currencies (most notably a bigger one in Italy) have started using it fully independent of the officially recognized fiat banks or their APIs.

Again, according to the Taler website, the exchange tracks every transaction in order to prevent double spends. If it has a full view of the network, it can employ statistical analysis.

Again, you spend max. 5 minutes browsing the website and now claim you are the expert on Taler 🙄 Just because you track if a token has been spend or not, doesn’t mean you can track who spend it, or what on. This is all well explained in the Taler documentation and it has been explicitly designed to be resistant against such statistical analysis.

It depends on the banking system with its proprietary APIs and centralized money issuance.

It does not. That is as optional as fiat exchanges with cryptocurrencies.

In order to spend money, you need to receive it first. I don’t know if it makes you a “seller” in Taler, but in any case, this partial protection probably makes de-anonymization of all transactions via statistical analysis much easier.

No, you get it from an exchange. And the resulting tokens are like physical cash and can not be de-anonymized by the exchange or anyone else in the chain. That’s like the entire point of Taler. I think you should really inform yourself better before making yourself look really stupid by confidently spreading such non-sense.

Taler is centralized and has poor privacy protections

This is non-sense. It’s not centralized at all and the privacy protections are excellent, just designed to different specs (privacy for buyers, but not sellers).

Wero is a trap at best or more likely a figleaf that is meant to fail.

EU private banks much prefer the status quo over systems like the Brazilian PIX taking over the digital payment systems.

So when the EU central bank started looking into a sovereign alternative to Visa/Mastercard etc. the private banks scrambled to put together Wero to delay and maybe prevent the central bank from coming up with a system like PIX.

Sadly GNU Taler was never really an option for these banks, as it is an open standard and thus even if they supported it, the central bank could still plug into it with their own system and thus they would be forced to compete with that.

I think they meant Minsky.

I am just happy that the update for the official Peertube app finally hit f-droid today.

Regarding the issue of ad-hoc commands on mobile: Movim works great on mobile linux and supports ad-hoc commands.

I played it in online multiplayer with some friends a few times. It has gamepad support, but I didn’t check if it has splitscreen multiplayer.

Seem ok? I guess the main point would be to know how you plan to store your music.

It’s worth a try asking your current members in a local sticky-post. Just make sure you do a realistic estimation on how often you might not be available so that they know how involved it might become.

Otherwise the people over at db0 are trialing an “armada” concept of sharing admin burdens between instances. So that is also something you might want to consider.

Finding a fully managed Lemmy server for a similar low price seems unlikely (and K&H have probably under-priced this).

I think it would be more worthwhile to find some additional admins to share the burden and move to some reasonably priced VPS.
