My girlfriend has an Iphone 4, I'm already looking for not that expensive Phones which could run Lineage. Alas Fairphone 4 doesn't yet. Of course, it should be a new model, for maximum usage span.3331186http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-08-31T05:11:05+00:002020-08-31T05:11:05+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://loadaverage.org/index.php/user/86749vegosRetired unskilled worker.

If app developers expose a ".apk" file, people can download that and install it--if they have already enabled installation outside of the Play Store, which is a tiny setting that is sometimes pretty hard to find (same setting is needed to enable F-Droid).<br /><br /> Normies don't know about it, and if they did, they would have to search a while to find it. And every time they try, they'll get a pop-up asking them to enable "Play Protect" which would prevent them from installing the file directly.<br /><br /> And they also won't get updates.3331161http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-08-31T03:48:32+00:002020-08-31T03:48:32+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
