  • Here’s a write-up I read not too long ago and answers many of your questions, though the author is mostly concerned with getting data access going. Short answer is yes, most will “just work” provided you use the correct modes and configs.

    do linux apps working as contact list/dialer/SMS receiver/sender exist?

    Those all fall under what’s called the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and is often problematic implementing in open source. If I recall, Ubuntu Touch has a (mostly?) working IMS implementation but I don’t recall if it’s universally functional or limited to specific devices/carriers. Some WWAN cards will allow calls/texts, but those are usually in “3G” mode which is rapidly disappearing as carriers switch to VoLTE or VoNR/Vo5G (which are basically just fancy VoIP).

    If you’re willing to forego traditional carrier voice/messaging, you can use any number of messaging apps that work on Linux and/or combine that with a 3rd party VoIP provider for PSTN calling/phone number and SMS/MMS. Just don’t expect to get RCS messaging going; even on Android proper, you’re limited to Google Messages only.

    We call them “turtles”.

    Ingredients:

    • Hamburger patty
    • Salt/pepper
    • Onion
    • Diced potato
    • Butter

    Prep:

    Put the burger patty on a sheet of aluminum foil, salt/pepper to taste, and throw the onion slices, butter, and diced potatoes on and around it. Fold the rest of the foil around it to seal it up. Toss it on the hot coals of the campfire for about an hour. Eat right out of the foil.

    These aren’t part of the “turtles”, but we also usually wrap an ear of corn in foil with some butter, salt, and pepper and throw it on the coals alongside them.





  • Note: I’m not a Luigi fanboy, so if anyone’s gonna downvote me over that, fine, but at least try to read what I’m saying from a general “don’t put words in people’s mouths” perspective.


    It doesn’t show for me, but I have seen the massive “support lemmy development” banner in Lemmy-UI elsewhere. It’s annoying but I get it.

    However, this is the first time I’ve seen it with the posturing it takes toward ml’s content policy and how “Luigi” as a verb is not just permitted but seemingly encouraged there. That’s a bridge too far and basically says “hey, crazies of Reddit, come to Lemmy and be toxic and call for murder all you want” without mentioning that instances can and do have their own policies of what is acceptable.

    Is there a way for admins to turn that off? Even if they do want to help support development of the software, letting the two developers posture and put words in their mouths like that is, IMO, unacceptable.
