Can you scan a check from your web browser? Maybe I'm wrong, but probably not; frankly, it's a logistical miracle we can do this from our phones and the banks tolerate it, but I can see why they would still want to minimize all risk involved. The second reason though I can think a bank would want attestation is as an anti-piracy measure. With a website, you have HTTPS verifying the identity of the domain. With an app…

Just because the browser offers that api does not mean that a bank will use it

"Please think of yourself first." = \s ? Anyway ... I'd totally encourage everybody to donate to opensource projects and/or its maintainers. Whatever the effect may be, but I think that's just simply appropriate.

Yes, donations are cool, without them there probably wouldn't be as many build servers (among other things). However, if donating means that you have to consider your current paycheck size, then it might be more appropriate to put that idea on the back-burner for a while. If you don't have to make that consideration and/or you feel strongly obligated to donate, then by all means, please do so.

tim, this is hackernews, everybody here makes six digits! jokes aside - when donating one should of course consider one's paycheck size. you don't have much, give a little; you have more, give a lot.

This is gatekeeping. Linux is a kernel. You're talking about userspace which is not part of the Linux kernel project.

What gatekeeping? I'm talking about Android project goals. They never intended to provide any direct userspace access to the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is supposed to be an implementation detail that can be replaced without breaking app compatibility.

That is more of a theory than reality. In practice you need to emulate the Linux kernel in order to run Android. Keep in mind that Android is more than just the apps you run.

Yes, I agree. But it is the stated goal.

> SeedVault[1] and Etar have both been updated to their newest respective upstream version. What do folks use for backups that's actually useful (full app data + secondary stuff like KeyStore entries) nowadays? [1]: https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/wiki/FAQ#why-do-s...

Swift Backups with root, and then Syncthing that directory of backupw to a home server. When I switch devices I just sync that directory to a new phone, install Swift Backup and do a restore. It's the modern Titanium Backup

This advice may have been exactly what I'm searching for, thank you kind stranger!

Thank you for the tip ! Was looking for a portable device at home for random browsing, it will be a nice beginning of the year project ! Do you recommend installing v21 or a previous version on this device ?

I run a minimal install of 21 right now (no gapps) and it’s great. Even handles browsing fine with Brave (built in ad blocking).

Hi @doublepg23 ! I just received my device and I've been reading the whole day off yesterday. That device is incredible and I've been very impressed. I chose the 128gb/6GB and it runs flawlessly for the moment. I'm considering moving to LineageOS, mainly to get rid of gapps, but i'm afraid I won't be able to install my apps then (CDisplayEx, Get Pocket, Plex). Can you confirm me this ?

Is there any way to export apk from apps i legitimate bought?

Sorry i'm not used to the Android environnement.
