Dutch university to start handing out only Fairphones to employees, instead of buying iPhones or Samsung.

@vosje62 @wsslmn @BuyFromEU But Android belongs to Google. I don’t want to leave Apple to switch to Google, definitely not. And honestly, I expect to have to solve a lot of unpleasant technical issues, before I’ll be able to migrate, but I hope I can solve them.
@Fietsbel @vosje62 @wsslmn @BuyFromEU The Android Open Source Project doesn't belong to Google

@Fietsbel @vosje62 @BuyFromEU I have just accepted that certain apps are not there anymore, and to me that is fine for now.
@wsslmn @Fietsbel @BuyFromEU
Some apps (like smart home applications) drive on data scraping and won't work on an other os by choice. -

Home assistant proves that it is not necessary (and not even wanted*) to have the data stored online.* you want it all to work if the internet is offline... 🥴

@vosje62 @Fietsbel @BuyFromEU indeed, but it also means that you have to do some maintenance yourself, which has been fun so far.
I do have a wish for some more free time to tinker with it, and add some dashboards to track stuff.

@wsslmn when i switched from cable to 4-5G i had to rearrange my router, so I switched it all off 'for the moment'. (No home assistant here)
Now .... Many years later they are still offline..
and the house is running like clockwork! -
@BuyFromEU and I hope they install @murena e/OS to reduce the dependency of US of A further
@TrVr @BuyFromEU @murena tap to pay won't work with e/OS. Biggest dealbreaker for me to be honest.
Is @murena working with EU to make #wero wallet the default maybe? -

I need to put it off for the banking apps to work. The great thing about e/OS is you can set this on an app base. So yes the bank will know your IP location and maybe their trackers as well. But other apps get nothing.
