@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

  • Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

@bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen That's exactly the problem, cuz #KaiOS nee #FirefoxOS was a good and solid basis not just for #LowEnd-Devices but could've been excellent for a more #secure mobile OS, as it has good potential for #sandboxing and #KISS-principle'd #Apps that are lean and efficient.

But then again when enthusiasts like @fuchsiii and I were shouting "#ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!" to #Mozilla, they basically refused to sell any #device, and then we get the "#PSvita-Effect":

I like p2p communication with webRTC better and better. not having a server in between which stores messages, but only sending messages (directly or in the form of a queue) when both peers are online. writing a message queue is my next step in my #KaiOS app #webRTC #KaiOS github.com/strukturart/flop

Just "released" the first usable version of #Convo, an #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS and #JioPhone feature phones! :xmpp:

git.disroot.org/badrihippo/con

I was hoping to release a more complete version as 1.0, but that's taking a while, and people are already starting to use it as it is (especially with the impending shuttering of #WhatsApp on KaiOS) so I decided to get this out right away 📦

I've also submitted to the #BananaStore, so hopefully it should be out there soon 🍌

Screenshot of the Convo app running on KaiOS, listing various open conversations. Visible chats (with truncated titles) are: Convo - XMPP messaging; Prav - Reclaiming choice, and Friend; JoinJabber General Chat.
New chat screen on Convo, showing tabs for "Contacts" and "Group chats". To avoid exposing actual contacts' names without their consent, the names in this screenshot are modified to the fictional "Ned", "Lad Lysa", "ed" and "BRAN"
Screenshot of an open conversation in Convo. The conversation so far is the action "badrihippo-alt joins the room once again" followed by a message saying "Looks like we also need to add support for opening links". A profile picture is shown next to the actions and message bubbles, but in this case that "picture" is just an alphabet
The Convo splash screen, which is basically an iconified XMPP logo in purple, inside a white speech bubble, on a purple background.

#KaiOS #webRTC #leaflet I've made progress on my webRTC chat app for KaiOS. I've created a map component that allows the user to share their location and live location. In the next step I'll enable the sharing of audio messages. I'm still thinking about how I'm going to solve this so that it remains easy to use.

I got a Nokia 2780 Flip phone as our "home phone" for around the house and for my kid to bring with him in situations where we might be separated. It's very satisfying to use! Physical buttons, T9 texting, and it even has a rudimentary Google Maps app. 3 days of battery life, to boot. It runs KaiOS. Great call quality, signal strength, and that pleasant Nokia ringtone.

Imagine if Mozilla were what it says it is and had released Firefox OS under GPL…

Instead, they did the research and development (with some of your money, if you donate to them) for a third-party company to come and close it off in a commercial product. Oh and for their patron, Google, to invest $20 million on top to create closed “smart feature phones” to farm the data of the <strike>poors</strike> “next five billion.”

TuxPhones - Linux phones, tablets and portable devicesInexpensive, compact, powerful: the revolution of "smart feature phones" runs LinuxSince the first iPhone in 2007, the whole mobile industry has moved to the "smartphone" form factor: minimal hardware keys, touch screen navigation, desktop-like Internet capabilities. However, while the revolution was more than welcome for most aspects, things like battery life and overall device dimensions are still missed by most
