The state of (real) Linux on phones - will they ever be truly usable?
Android is basically open source at the bare minimum. To use Android in a meaningful way, you need Google Play Services, which are proprietary and have root privileges on most Android phones (allowing Google to collect a lot of private data easily). The only ROMs I know of which utilise Sandboxed Google Play Services are GrapheneOS and ProtonAOSP. microG exists on CalyxOS and /e/ OS, but it will never be as compatible as Google Play Services.

Android loses 8% of its global OS market share in five years
One problem with relying on emulation is that Google has moved a lot of functionality from the open source Android layer to Google Play Services, and they obviously wont publish that on someone else's platform.

PrivacyGuides.org considered harmful?
The main privacy concern with most Android devices is that they usually include Google Play Services.

What legal documents should your app have?
Yeah, frustrating I know. I actually made a PR 5 months ago (based on another) to introduce the ability to add libraries if they don’t have it included in their POM. Our use case was that we used a web view with local JS files that we needed to attribute to.

PinePhone review after a month of daily driving
Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.
> don't understand not more people want to access their DCIM folder via sshfs
I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

A standalone zero-dependency Lisp for Linux
With this, I was able to cross compile lone for x86_64 from within the Termux environment of my aarch64 smartphone. All I had to do was obtain the Linux user space API headers for x86_64.
I made a Termux package request for multiplatform Linux UAPI headers specifically so I could cross compile lone but unfortunately it was rejected.

I wonder how far you could get with the git client in termux. I got vim running at one point.
