Sort of. A one time pad does not destroy data, but a hash will. Wikipedia has a good example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad In their example, "HELLO" is the plain text, "XMCKL" is the k

A few years has made a huge difference in stability and usage I would offer. It sounds weird to say, but I like its size and heft now. I said it in a sibling comment, but yeah, battery life leaves a lot to be desired with heavy usage.

Sorry just saw this. Standby is 15 hours or so. If I am active with it, it drops closer to 4-5 hours. It's reasonably stable. The 3 GB limitation is kind of annoying, because a lot of apps like to use 400-500 MB each, so I really can o

I have been using a Librem 5 on Mobian for 3+ years, and the answer is yes. I can use sms/mms, have Signal Desktop installed, i can use Pure Maps for maps and navigation, and i can use Android Apps via Waydroid (though that is admitted

It's hard to tell if he is referring to Flatpak: https://flatpak.org/ or if the nomenclature is a coincidence. However, from what I can tell, the presenter is talking about similar things.

Interesting. I know the Librem 5 is usable as a day to day phone (I have been using it as such for 3.5 years), and a few phones used to be in that catagory. I guess they changed how they consider main vs community.

Mobian is Debian with specific tweaks that arent upstreamed to Debian to support mobile. That being said, neither the Pinetab/Pinetab2 are very well supported, I would not recommend.

This looks to use the dev options to fake it, which I believe bypasses the geolocation apps (as I assume the mock location is used for testing apps if they are in certain locations). That being said, I have tried this for banking apps, and
