Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it’s very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

Honestly I’m not technically knowledgeable enough to answer, you can have a read of their FAQs. But my understanding is that the sandbox allows some google services to be used, but without privileged access to the rest of the system. As opposed to blocking them entirely, which would mean you couldn’t use those services at all. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

I use GrapheneOS and NextDNS. And NoScript. There’s some overkill there but I figure why not.

To your question, GrapheneOS has put a lot of thought into features like sandboxing Google Play services so you can choose to use none/some/all depending on your preference. I would think that’s probably a smoother experience than trying to block google services selectively via NextDNS. GrapeheneOS also makes it easier to manage per-app permissions and security features.

My old phone was a redmi note 10 pro with power button sensor and I did find it more accurate than my current pixel 7a under screen sensor. But it hasn’t been a deal breaker for me

Good stuff, read about this in 50 Years of Text Games, will be nice to check this out

The Mirror website is cancer. I use NoScript and it won’t load without allowing about 50 fuckkng scripts. MSN too. I avoid both but occasionally click on a link from elsewhere

Really? I shouldn’t be surprised but that’s depressing. I’m happy to pay for good apps mind

Thing is, there actually are some good basic apps out there. Things like pomodoro timers with no ads or tracking. Super basic but useful, and hard yobfind because they get buried below other ‘slick’ versions stuffed with ads and trackers.

I just went through this trying to transfer 23GB of music samples - tens of thousands of files in nested folders - to an Android phone to use with Koala Sampler. Tried USB, KDE Connect, Onedrive, all failed at some point, couldn’t handle merging, or some other problem. Syncthing was the answer and it was pretty quick too.

On Android, Mull offers more extensions, unless that’s changed recently

You didn’t specify open source so I’ll post a mixture…

GrayJay (YouTube and other streaming video) RiMusic (YT music streamer) Easy Noise (white noise for sleeping) Peristyle (wallpaper changer)

Eh call me when they make a new Gun Nac

I’m on graphene and I have an ‘adaptive’ option under Display > Colors

I love gaming on the go so I’ll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it’s own right

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It’s fairly forgiving but I still haven’t beaten it!

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I’d love a Pocket

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

Also Renoise (also not FOSS,. but good)
