#Kaios
Punkt #MP02 runs a variant of AOSP 8.1. It has 2 GB RAM. #KaiOS 2.x uses Android HAL 8.1. It runs on 512 MB RAM.
Could Punkt transition to KaiOS and bring along a web based version of Pigeon?
In fact KaiOS Smart Touch was almost ready in 2020 and running on 1 GB RAM. Punkt Tronics could have adopted it, upgraded to KaiOS 4, for its MC02 5G. Which now has 6 GB RAM.
This year #TCL Flip 4 #5G with KaiOS 4, but without a large screen or touch controls, runs on 2 GB RAM.
Creative re-use.
@daylymemes yay #kaios more buttons less distractions

Last week i published the latest version of my chat apps for KaiOS in the appstore, the desktop version I am also trying to improve.
Hello Fediverse. So I'm looking for a #remote #opensource job or project in European timezones.
I am not good in writing CVs. So I'm just listing the projects I have done:
#Rust(See https://codeberg.org/farooqkz/wakegp, https://github.com/deltachat-bots/deltachat-loginbot and https://github.com/deltachat/message-parser) #GeneticProgramming #Cranelift
#Typescript #Javascript #ReactJS #InfernoJS. I used to work on https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop and https://codeberg.org/chooj/chooj (#chooj, #Matrix, #KaiOS)
#Lua #Luanti. I contribute to CTF game. I also play it extensively!
I'm a #Linux user. I have good experience using CLI, and I have basic shell scripting skills. I also have a little experience with #FreeBSD
I am also good at reading academic papers, standards(like RFCs) and manpages.
I am up for working on #FOSS projects as freelancer or part time contracts.
Boosts appreciated :)
PS: I am also familiar with #CommonLisp. But I highly doubt if I can find a #Lisp job anywhere!

I'd like to see good #xmpp client for #KaiOS that can work even on 2G networks. Like my old Nokia E52 using Symbian S60^3 and Talkonaut to connect to XMPP network.
Regarding disaster of the decentral. services I personally maintain 2 different domains with services (one for matrix and one for xmpp) on differenet locations , each of which has also different DNS SOA providers. In case the authority DNS provider fails.
Considering that both #XMPP and #Matrix re-invented #decentralized communication while #email was already there, makes #deltachat more interesting.
The fact that DC didn't invent a new protocol for #InstantMessaging and just used the protocol which was already there, and also that how far has it gone, is mind blowing.
At first when I was chatting with @treefit, I already was developing a Matrix client(#chooj) for #KaiOS and it was the only decentralized IM which I was using and investing resources into. I was skeptical but then I thought it would be a good idea to invest into DeltaChat, as well as Matrix. His argument, of course, wasn't good. He was arguing that we need multiple options in the case one of decentralized IMs fail. However this convinced me to give DC a try.
But now, I see that DC has very unique advantages no other messenger has. Their moto is "playing the long term" game. Unlike Matrix which suddenly exploded, DC moves very slowly. As an advantage, DC is much more consistent, hassle free, has less bugs(in my experience) and has better UI/UX than many Matrix clients. But it has got several disadvantages. Matrix has tons more features which DC hasn't got or has added them just recently such as editing messages and reactions. And it is not yet suitable for public groups, like the ones we've got in the Matrix network.
Overall, if you want secure chat with friends or family or other people you trust, DeltaChat is a very good option and the experience is very good. And I haven't seen something like #webxdc in any other IM. However if you want something like #Discord guilds for a community, Matrix is the way to go.
BTW, DC currently lacks funding, thanks to what #Trump did with #OpenTechnologyFund(#OTF). If you can help in anyway, financial or otherwise, it will be extra valuable at this point.
Edit:
BTW, here are websites of webxdc and DC:

Edit2: Make sure to check WebXDC, apps shared in #P2P deltachat groups or DMs.

Sometimes I browse the #KaiOS phone catalog and imagine what #FirefoxOS could've been.
*runs into the #KaiOS repo on github and starts getting ideas*
I give up on creating an app build for ff48 with parcelJS&babel.

Can anyone tell me whether #Kaios #featurephone support #CardDav and #CalDav?
They are two "killer feature" that make me leave #Nokia #SymbianOS years ago.
i have started to use avatar icons in my chat app, i am not completely satisfied yet but i am getting closer to the standard design of chat apps...
In my p2p chat app: flop for #KaiOS I have implemented a typing feature and webPush, the app is a conventional PWA and can also be used in any browser that supports webRTC.
My followers might've noticed a surge of activity from me on Mastodon in the last few days.
So the story is that I was sticking to #KaiOS feature phones to not have social media with me everywhere. But now my feature phone is broken and I can't find a new one to buy. KaiOS is falling. So I borrowed my brother's old Android phone.
And I installed Tusky Mastodon app on it. Then I was encouraged to have more activity on Mastodon and spending more time in it. And even spending sleep hours to browse mastodon in bed, which is very unhealthy for sleep.
Now, I truly understand that having social media with me on my phone is a bad idea. Yesterday I uninstalled Tusky from the phone. I think having Mastodon on my PC is enough for me.
Also I do really wish I could have a feature phone like KaiOS phones.

KaiOS wird nicht mehr von WhatsApp unterstützt
Vor circa einem Jahr hab ich hier einen Artikel veröffentlicht, dass ich mir mal ein "Nokia Smartphone" genauer anschauen möchte, welches auch eine WhatsApp-Funktion mitbringt. Gedacht war dieses Nokia-Telefon als Baustellen- bzw. Outdoor-Ersatz. Das hat damals nicht wirklich gut geklappt, weil unte

@bshankar I have a #KaiOS phone which doesn't support #RCS, and I thankfully don't receive much #spam on #SMS either, although many of my friends seem to get the same. (That's why many have stopped checking SMS unless they need an OTP or something)
Do you find RCS spam to be similar to SMS spam? Also, I'm guessing RCS supports rich content like images and stuff? So does the spam include that as well?
