Looking at the comments on the teddit thread I cant say Ive had issues with speed on OsmAnd but like the look of this all the same (and find the search option easier too). Thanks for sharing it!

I havent seen more than a list of eligible devices and a general timeframe like the above article describes.
Some sources stated that it's only for the ALS models (Chinese) and that others arent getting the update due to not being sold in China. I'd assume that someone will find a way to opt-in early on said devices (maybe through their desktop update tool or changing regions) but I couldnt locate a nice list with dates and models for outside of China.
The closest I've seen is this one:

Really liked this, there's a lot of Ring doorbells around my area so even without some of the other tech mentioned it still felt pretty relevant.
Ive got a lot of thoughts on these two posts, and am not sure how to articulate them all.
I don't feel like the point of the project was to be a private YouTube alternative but rather one that avoided take downs and censorship (though the added benefit of not being Google was a plus). This doesn't excuse the privacy policy, and it would be nice to see it updated if it is indeed something that keeps users away.
I also don't think Peertube makes it as easy for an existing YouTube creator to port their videos over - the ease of use has seen some larger channels (Louis Rossman comes to mind) use LBRY where I don't believe they would have other wise.
This part is preference, I find the player (loading) and look (UI, layout) of LBRY to be better than Peertube when sharing with non-tech/privacy focused friends/family/forums (instances also make this area murky). Those users wont use a VPN and/or TOR for anything, so the recommendation to protect their IP address will flat (as does the concern of being a US company).
Those points aside Im glad someone is doing deep dives on policies, even if I don't think this particular site tried to be a bastion of privacy in the first place it's nice to have a plain language look at things. I'll consider looking at Peertube when sharing links when possible but am still glad that LBRY is a thing in the meantime.
I agree, but I dont believe legislation and regulation has caught up to techniques/product evolutions such as this and feel it might take awhile for people to take notice.
“Further, if someone pauses their subscription and forgets to restart it, they won't actually be able to get their In&box into ride-ready status when they go to turn it on. If they then choose to ignore the indicators and ride with the In&box inactive, that's on them and we can expect it not to inflate in the event of a crash.”
Ah there it is, I wondered how they were going to justify the safety features being disabled if a crash occurred. My gut reaction is that it seems like a great opportunity for some enterprising person to supply a patch to fix that particular issue, but that's mostly due to the idea of subsidizing safety or other features in items I purchased feels wrong.
The site for the vest is relatively straight up about the extra cost of activation in the FAQ section, but feels like a bad example to post the base price and not include an asterisk or call-out to the FAQ below imo.
I'd be interested to see how work from home has impacted this (practice of screen breaks every 20min). For myself it's far easier and the pressure to always be 100% "present" isn't there.
Glad there's a solid open source Windows option for this!
I really like that you can switch the OS relatively easy - I really want to try to stick with the "official" os so Ive stuck with Manjaro Plasma Mobile so far.
Youre spot on about the speed, Ive been using it for all my social media-esque apps and find it usable but still need a charge at least twice a day. Really impressive all the same though from some of the earlier builds, this year we could see some nice improvements in the software.

I'll be excited to see if this changes the verbiage on said stores - once I had one movie "purchase" removed I stopped caring about online film purchases entirely. I'll use online options for rentals, but I want a physical disc or my own (non-cloud) download of content I really enjoy.
The “blood of the private sector” that Bourla appeals to is not some natural state of affairs, but reflects a global trade structure the company helped create — to the detriment of poor people around the world who seek access to life-saving drugs.
In 1982, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi told the World Health Assembly, “the idea of a better ordered world is one in which medical discovery will be free of all patents and there will be no profiteering from life and death.” The Christian Science Monitor reported in 1986, “Brazil and Argentina have spearheaded a group that has blocked U.S. attempts to include intellectual property protection in the new round of talks.”
“TRIPS required developing countries, and countries around the world, to adopt a U.S.-type patent and copyright rule. Previously, both had been outside trade agreements, so countries could have whatever rules they want. India already had a well-developed pharmaceutical industry by the 1990s. Pre-TRIPS, India didn’t allow drug companies to patent drugs. They could patent processes, but not drugs.”
A good read, and one from December of 2020 at that (which only furthers their point imo with these events still ongoing).
I really enjoyed the quoted sections, as someone from the USA it's not something we hear about (India's different approach to pharam, ins and outs of TRIPS) or think about unless discussing alternate governing systems. Even then I would argue that the idea of IP is pretty ingrained and something the majority just consider normal.
Really like that this situation has brought IP law and regulation more into the light and news space, hopefully it drags into the public consciousness so something can be done.
Step counter is standalone, some of the watch apps need a paired device (notifications, the navigation app, music playback controls) but the health features (heart rate and step counter) are all standalone.
If you pair the device using Gadgetbridge on Android you would get the steps synced and shown in that app, using it without any apps it still counts steps and resets at midnight back to 0 on the watch display.
Not to complicate things but this is also just using the default OS, more options are available and Wasp-OS has a different layout and more options like an alarm app for example.

Librem product delays, but for the relevant one: Librem 5 delays and price increases of $100 on June 30th 2021.
I think this makes the phone a much harder sell, but am excited to see what the funds do for software development. Since Pine64 has stated there is enough stock of materials to complete their scheduled batches throughout the year at least those desperate for something in that same vein will have an option.

Just a quick reminder for Android users, using the guide below should help a bit if you need to have any of these apps installed at all (as far as info the apps grab from your device) - https://lemmy.ml/post/54596
