This ruling is not about the users. It is about Google pressuring manufacturers. This is completely different case.

I run valetudo with OpenHAB. No cloud needed just a little rPI.

Full agree. Political stickers are much more like graffiti tags. It's pretty fun to 'follow' some groups around by just recognizing their stickers.

I used it to integrate sketching into a web-based diagram editor ~10 years ago and it was a breeze. OK, I had to train it myself. But it takes only minutes to draw all the shape variants needed. In practice I used 6 shapes and about 5 variants per shape. I conducted a usability test and the $1 recognizer only failed to recognizes the sketches 2-3 times out of ~300 shapes drawn by different users with no additional training.

I'm on 0.11, too. OS crashes are rare ~2 time, maybe. It's minor things, embedded qr-scanner fails, AntennaPod crashes and needs a restart, some Apps like eBay just crash... But checking the apps I got from /e/'s-Store: They are up-to-date :)

I'm a FP3 and /e/ user for about half a year now. And well, it works for me but frankly there are some issues. Nothing I'm not willing to take, but it's different to the premium android device with google services before. The Appstore provides some apps. But not all of them and some are quite outdated. They seem to get their APKs from https://info.cleanapk.org/. Some apps just don't work or stop reacting to touches. But this can be an Issue with the missing Google Services. The FP3 is a decent phone. It does its job well images are ok (old camera) focus and stabilization are not as good as flagship phones. The fingerprint reader is pretty unreliable. It usually needs some tries... However, its repairable, the price is fair for what you get, they try to be sustainable, there is /e/-os and lineage available. That's the main reason I bought it: I expect to use it as long as I want and not only as log as the manufacturer publishes the patches.

It should be Open Access all the time. Keep the change!
