As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

        Thats the beauty of it. You dont need to code for any large project to be able to contribute. We need people test it on old phones (and new ones if they wish) and report back their findings in an organized fashion. We need people to tinker with the cameras so we can get them to work at some point, we need help with proper documentation, people to spread the word, you name it.

        But to answer your question, its not one language. Its linux, the base is C, then there are the desktop environments. Some is config files written in yaml, some is css. Most people dont comprehend how ginormous linux as a platform really is and how much potential there is to help.

          Yeah I started doing git with bug testing.

          Most devs are happy to have someone file a competent bug report with: issue, environment specs, steps to replicate and screenshots/recordings.

          I’ve gone back and forth with devs testing things like game mods and android FOSS apps.

            Thats really awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience. We need more people to talk about it and show that its not only for some unknown elite to help with foss development.

            Sounds like an awesome idea. Every person investing some brain power into FOSS is a win for the community.

            I’m working on porting Mobian to the Pixel 3a, pretty much everything works, even eSIM. The kernel dev is already working on upstreaming the patches, some are already in the next Linux release.

            I’ve recently posted about the progress: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/19600671

            Updates to that post would be that eSIM does work and that the internal microphone will work very soon once the already existing patches are pushed to the git repo.

              Oh 😯 is that eSIM support general, meaning other devices can benefit from it too? Lack of eSIM support is currently my main stumbling block why I can’t go back to mobile Linux.

                I don’t know how well this is supported for other devices, I only know that some people use an eSIM on other models. 🤔
