She also said it contains soy lecithin (just a little!) and salt

Er, I think they mean:

American public (we exist)

Public transport (not much here)

American transport (cars)

Great link, thank you. I'm so used to desperately trying to make this old 3a work that I didn't realize they'd listed out support expectations for more recent models.

That's what I expected, but had hoped there would be additional legacy support. Google previously only supported Pixels for 3 years, right? They may be more competitive with Apple now, but that's still only 6-7 years. In that case, if I buy an old Pixel on ebay it's not likely to have much of a run left.

My issues with Lineage are related, although they obviously try to give legacy support (perhaps without the ability to make full security updates), but we still run into functionality issues like my lack of wi-fi calling. I don't think that is so much about the age of the phone as it is due to tech/frequency updates that are non-compatible with some older devices, and proprietary opaqueness in the Google code. I wish Lineage would at least list this issue on their wiki, phone by phone, as that would make it easier for me to decide on my next step.

I hear a tiny dev team made some VoLTE progress in the Linux world, but I am way over my head in trying to understand exactly what's going on. I think they've got an Ubuntu Touch device working with VoLTE for the first time? Does it work in the US? Does it have Wi-fi calling? I have many questions but need to keep reading. (I know VoLTE is different from VoWiFi, but I see them used interchangeably at times.)

I believe I'm too old with my 3a. I've been considering getting a used 5, 6, 7, or 8 off ebay but I worry that support will run out. Any idea if that's true?

I don't believe they support the 3a. I'm really vintage.

Any idea how long support will last for the 8? I feel a little burned by the lack of support for the 3a, though I understand that a) 6 years for a phone is a good run in this wasteful world, and b) wifi calling on the 3a hasn't been dropped by choice, but is actually a complicated issue that small #s of devs are still working on.

...How about a 3?

Edit: Nevermind, just checked. I swear this is still a great phone.

I went outside my comfort zone and installed Lineage on my old Pixel, only to find out I couldn't get wi-fi calling, so I reverted to my Google OS. Oh no. Any options other than Lineage or a new phone? This 6 year old phone works great except for the lack of updates, and except for the upcoming Gemini updates :( I'm struggling.

Edit: Ubuntu Touch, anybody?

Edit 2: Looks like VoLTE isn't supported on Ubuntu, either. Any idea why?

Novice question: I think I am understanding that Aurora is a way of accessing the Google store without actually installing the Google Play Store, but is there a software package that it comes with? Is it MicroG? I am a little lost with how these relate to each other.

I installed Lineage and MindtheGapps on my Pixel 3a yesterday, but I'm interested in alternatives before I commit to this setup. It seemed like the easiest route given my lack of know-how, but my hope had been to de-Google gracefully and I don't know if that's possible with system-level Google still installed on my phone.

Numbers surely don't tell the whole story. What happened to the Cherokee was a dramatic loss for many reasons, and basically amounted to genocide or ethnic cleansing. That's very much where the USA is (or is headed) right now, too. Loss of life due to covid was a tragedy, but it has nothing on the evil that was the Trail of Tears.

 

Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:

From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.

Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.
