It’s also on Steam for a couple of bucks if you want a simple way to support the dev!

Install it from the Play Store and go!

It uses Android’s native work-profile feature to create a separate space for the apps you choose, so you could install the HSBC app there and it wouldn’t be able to see anything outside its little bubble.
The downside is that AFAIK you cannot have multiple work profiles on the same phone, so if you have a MDM solution from work already installed like Intune you won’t be able to use this, and given how draconian this app is, it might refuse to run if it detects its inside one. Worth a shot though.
This is the type of shit that has me losing faith in Android.
They added a fuck ton of restrictions on Clipboard Access because ‘Privacy,’ yet this clear privacy violation (with 0 use cases!!!) is still here.
You’d think that they’d create a permission you can toggle at will since they care about protecting you so much right?
Nope. Google’s the one who decides who gets to use this capability and your wishes as a user can go to hell.
Opt-out? I see it’s time for the seasonal Manjaro fuck up.
This is so sick, I’ve been waiting for this for a loooooong time
From the constant launch delays to this ToS, this is now not to launch a new Fediverse project 101 lol
The wallpaper spotlight would be a great feature if only you could disable these dumb text boxes…
Addendum:
If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack […] but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years. […] these devices have so much information on us […] but they don’t leverage any of that information to make the experience any better.
Now this, I wholeheartedly agree.
I feel there’s a looooot of room to try new, innovative, potentially even wacky user UIs and experiences, Sailfish OS and Nintype/Minuum being my favorite examples of a existing concept being done with completely fresh UX, HOWEVER
Not having to work on the lower part of the stack??? What???
If we’re talking about x86, sure I guess, throw a Linux kernel on it and build whatever on top but ARM, specially on phones, looks like a compete hellscape! (to a outsider like me)
Ask any Linux phone Dev how easy it was to get the hardware going. Their heads will likely start spinning.
Could you build a new, modern mobile entirely from components with Mainline Linux support? And did this support come from the manufacturer or was it hundreds of hours of painful reverse engineering from the community?
New phone without having to work on the lower parts of the stack??? Dunno bout that man.
Migrating from Android to a possible “NothingOS” has the same energy as migrating from Twitter to BlueSky:
You’re escaping from one techbro’s grubby hands just to fall into another’s.
He’s gonna do the same shady shit eventually. It’s the way all these companies operate, if don’t go FOSS you ain’t escaping anythin’
In the context of Full Disk Encryption, to this day I don’t understand why I’d use it over just typing my password at boot
Why would a AI voice company buy a read-it-later service???
Oh hey, it’s by the same guy that made Lemuroid!
You can use ChatGPT, Claude, Llama and Mixtral via DuckDuckGo at duck.ai
whatever code did that was messing with the content indexer
Those guys were determined you’d get what was on the tin, no matter what
Option 4: All of the above.
Don’t understand why they went for 15, in other times a update this small would have been 14.1

Yeah it’s just OneDrive/Sharepoint with a trench-coat
Yeah no, the experience really is ass.
We use Lenovo IdeaPads at work, a model with an i7 and a Nvidia GPU, and Windows constantly chugs and has weird UI issues, even though the machines are not running heavy software and are on a pretty fresh install.
Sometimes when I wake the laptop from sleep, it sits and the lock screen showing my wallpaper and NOTHING else.
Clicking, typing does nothing, I just have to sit there and wait like 2 minutes until it finally decides to show the input field and let me login again.
The Network/Sound/Battery tray flyout frequently stops responding. Only goes back to normal after restarting explorer.exe
The internal display has scaling while the external doesn’t. So every time you drag a window across it “snags” in between them while the application flickers and struggles to switch the scaling.
Switching between virtual desktops is so sloooow, if you use a different wallpaper on each you can literally see Windows struggling to swap the wallpapers in time.
It’s impressive how a native OS feature feels like a third-party kludge.
Great work Microsoft.
I love KDE and use it as my daily driver, but talking strictly about the tilling experience, it just ain’t it.
I’ve tried both Polonium and a updated fork of Kröhnkite for Plasma 6, and neither them were as nice as Hyprland…
