As Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in the future. They’re going to eventually ban adblockers for chromium. We need to quickly respond with alternatives to android, we must end this market consolidation.

I think I will write documentation and work on the functionality for the Pixel 3a xl

I'm working on porting Mobian to the Pixel 3a, pretty much everything works, even eSIM. The kernel dev is already working on upstreaming the patches, some are already in the next Linux release.

I've recently posted about the progress: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/19600671

Updates to that post would be that eSIM does work and that the internal microphone will work very soon once the already existing patches are pushed to the git repo.

Oh 😯 is that eSIM support general, meaning other devices can benefit from it too? Lack of eSIM support is currently my main stumbling block why I can't go back to mobile Linux.
