Plus, in my experience, SIM cards are software-dependent, so I'm pretty sure that under most phone plans, a third party Android client wouldn't work as a phone. Which, like, I'm sorry, but "dephoning" is a lot of extra expense and e-waste and simply not practical. It's posturing, not an activist statement.

I looked into the "sustainable smartphones" before settling on Moto for being a relatively low-nonsense Android fork, but found that they don't work on reasonably priced North American phone plans, or in some cases, any at all. Plus if you need to order the replacement parts from overseas, that kinda removes the environmental benefit.

good news is that you should still be able to download things direct from APK if you load them in browser / on your desktop long as sideloading apps is enabled in phone settings, which even iOS still lets you do I think with direct download if you know where to look

I know that most android phones (even google pixel), you can open as drives and copy files directly to / from on Windows and Linux, so that's always an option as long as you can download APKs directly on desktop. hopefully APKMirror and pals step up to preserve emulators, F-Droid, etc.

if you want to be able to install apps straight from web browser, you should be able to enable "install unknown apps" or something of that sort in app settings for your browser of choice. you may need to also enable installing apps from APK in developer options depending on your specific phone model. on most droids, if you go into "about phone" and click the build number a bunch of times it'll enable developer option

Do we have a date for when the verification is happening, so folks know to install emulators etc. before then? (thinking about flappy bird getting kicked off the app store back in the day and the market in phones with it already installed)

while this indisputably sucks, since that's the main thing Android had over iOS, I suspect that direct APK downloads will continue to work indefinitely because of their importance to development, so get your faves onto APK Mirror and other databases if they aren't already!

That's been my thing with Chrome since day 1, is that it's completely pointless -- if you want Google that badly, just use Android, and then you can...actually run programs. It's an "OS" that literally only exists to be a web browser (and a shitty one at that).

fr i hate chromeOS so much. my main laptop is dead and i'm stuck with a chromebook, the thing is powerful but you can't do NOTHING with this shit, i can't even stream a fucking video through discord without jumping through 9238493284 hoops and it still doesn't work with audio. google will pay i promise u that

i think if i were to switch web hosting platforms, i'd use codeberg pages. since nekoweb's data limit is apparently smaller than neocities' and i really don't wanna join a discord server just to interact with other webmasters. plus i'm already hosting my source code on codeberg anyway

@grockodile i dont think it's better than neocities perse. since neocities has more of a community which i like. but it does let you set custom domains for free which is nice

is there any particular reason you'd switch from neocities to any other particular site?

@cvcarloscv i was just thinking in case if it gets bought out from some company or the site stops working

i used to have an orange cat who disliked oranges too. what a coincidence!! i think it's because of the citrusy smell since citrus is toxic to them apparently

oh interesting i didn’t know that citrus was toxic to cats that would make a lot of sense and explain why she would refuse to be in the same room as me until i wash my hands after eating an orange

i changed the email for my contact info. i decided to use a different email for messaging people. since protonmail doesn't make you set a password for everyone & plus it's probably better that i have a different email than the one i use for my accounts and stuff
