That would have been a genius idea actually it would solve all of my problems. However, it seems like Android doesn't allow hard or soft links through SELinux. I tried doing it in termux in root mode but it told me "Function not implemented."

Then I can't see them in the chat since they're in a different location.

Dang, I have /e/os and can make WiFi calls and never downloaded any carrier apps. Maybe it's specific to the carrier.

Does WiFi calling not work on Grapheneos?

"Because I don't want PayPal doing the same"

Honestly they're both annoying because they take a fee on top of the credit card company fee. Just cut out the middleman and use the credit card option.

Ich bin anderer Meinung, ich habe den Bildschirm meines P6P kaputt gemacht und ihn repariert. Ich denke, das Hauptproblem sind die Praktiken der Unternehmen, die eine Reparatur so schwierig machen. Ich denke, wenn man sich Jeffry Hughes anschaut, der auf YouTube Telefonreparaturen durchführt, erkennt man, dass dort ein übler Blödsinn vor sich geht, der nur dadurch erklärt werden kann, dass die Unternehmen nicht wollen, dass irgendjemand die Telefone repariert. Außerdem glaube ich nicht, dass es neue Dinge gibt, die neue Telefone mit sich bringen, solange es scrollt und eine Verbindung zum Internet herstellt, ist alles in Ordnung. Der einzige Grund, warum ich mein Note 10+ nicht habe, ist, dass der Bildschirm fast so teuer ist wie ein gebrauchtes P6P.

Und am wichtigsten: Hören Sie auf, sich der Hegemonie der englischen Sprache zu widersetzen!!!!

The FP5 is the best in terms of repairability. The device just opens up without any insane glue, just clips and screws, the parts are there and are reasonably priced. And it's manufactured with sustainable source material according to the company. The workers are treated well also according to them. The company directly sells the FP4 with the deGoogled /e/os which shows that they care about privacy. I could also see them selling this one with built in /e/os sometime in the future. It also does everything you expect from a phone reasonably well.

However, as a phone in that $750 price range, the features and polish are lacking. For some reason, the phone just feels sluggish to use. I have a Pixel 6 and compared to it the difference is night and day. The screen says that it's 90Hz but it feels like 25Hz when scrolling sometimes. So I recorded scrolling on a chromium browser on both the FP5 and the P6P. I think you can see the difference. Keep in mind that the videos are both 60Hz so I'm probably not inaccurate when I say 25Hz.

I think the phone is overall positive since it gets you from point A to point B and the philosophy behind it is great. I myself am gonna be regularly using it since the sluggishness is something I kinda gotten used to.

Edit: I should have mentioned this from the get-go. But I have installed /e/os which is in beta. This could contribute to the slowness so take my experience with a grain of salt.

Let's gooooo!

I'll pray to Allah that this doesn't get reintroduced to fuck us in the ass a couple years later. Y'all pray to whoever else to cover our bases.

I think a lot of people in this community consider it a lifestyle to pirate media.

Do you know what community this is?

It's like every 2 days there is a catastrophic law for privacy introduced in the EU. Last time with E2EE now with HTTPS. It seems that the EU would agree to stop bit tech from spying but they don't want anyone to hide from them.
