@thunderdragon900 I see, yeah the Linux OS's that were built from scratch, while they are nice projects they don't look nearly as advanced as Android-based operating systems. Since its Android based and since I'm not using any of Google's services (except I'm using their programming language, Flutter) my apps should be runnable it seems. That's honestly ideal, thank you!

Question: My mom wants to use a FOSS operating system on her phone unrelated to Google because she is mad about events of late. Because I'm making Android apps, I don't want to do this on my phone, but does anyone know of any viable Linux based alternatives to Android on mobile?

So far I know about Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch, but I'm not well versed on either, perhaps someone else could point me in the right direction?

@valleyforge jesus

@sid_enceladus haha thanks man! I think it's pretty rudimentary right now, hopefully I can get better at writing programs :)

@sid_enceladus Dang that's cool, I guess Python really can be used for anything!

@sid_enceladus Oh dang that's cool, I'm curious, what is remote sensing? It sounds big brain

@maximilien I see C/C++ is at the top of the list. You sir, must understand how computers work internally pretty well

G'day y'all.

I'm Nathan, a bored college student majoring in Computer Science, that joined this social network because FAANG's actions scared me a bit. I guess what else you should know about me is that I proudly use Linux Mint, and think that is superior to arch/gentoo/basically everything. I enjoy Taekwondo and girls, and I think mobile development is pretty cool. It has been 300+ days since I have actually been to school because of COVID, so the boredom is really creeping in. Well, that's enough about me, lets hear about you!

@torresjrjr I'll do that

@josh What do you mean?

@Diptchip Hey man, I'm telling ya, libertarianism is the true party

@0x0f nice butt

@torresjrjr hey zoomer, what's up

@maximilien I'm mostly familiar with Java, I guess if I had to rank my languages by how familiar I am.

1. Java (muh language)
2. Dart (learning, but it's so close to Java)
3. Python (pseudo code, enough said)
4. C (well, I don't use it much but I know basics)
5. Haskell (I'm bad at this, but I want to get better)

What about you?

Check out the Android program that I just made which allows you to cheat at Scrabble! It is still very much a work in progress though

Anyone want to talk about coding? Feel free to msg me!
