For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

      I hear you. With Android turning into a closed OS like iOS later this year things are not looking very bright for people like me that uses alternative stores a lot.

      Tell me about it. Like Linux Phone hurry up!

      I miss the FirefoxOS concept. Ahead of its time. Basically ran PWAs for everything.

      Honestly, I would really fuck with a comprehensive Linux mobile experience. I know some things exist, but they aren’t yet fully rounded off. I say this now, but know damn well I’d tinker with something I shouldn’t and wind up needing to reinstall the OS like five times.

        I’d be all over it. Hopefully we could get an open cellular modem with that at some point, too.

          We do have some similar things, like Meshtastic for messages, but that’s just texting via radio. As far as calls go, it’s mostly also just radio for now.

          Session tried to get a call and text system setup whereby anyone can host a node, similar to a TOR node, but their foundation didn’t reach the funding total. The work is done, but some services are gonna be scaled back a bit. There is definitely a considerable push for systems like that, but they’ll take a bit of time for implementation as it’d otherwise just be another company owned service that’s outside our control.

      I reccomend donating to postmarketos then. They do awsome work reverse engeeniering phones. Oneplus 6 is usable with pmos. Of course it has multiple problems but its nice seeing people make so much things for on old phones.

      There are of course graphenos, calyxos, e/os/ of course. Unfortunatly the issue with every alternative os is that you need specific model of phone to even open bootloader.
