Unfortunately not made in Canada :(, but at least a Canadian company. I posted this as I saw Smarter every day’s YouTube about making a made in US bristle-less BBQ brush, and wanted to see our closet option here.

Yes agree 100% about Charmin, bidets, and Royale endurance. The Japanese style toilets are the way to go.

Another one bites the dust!

• Royale diapers & toilet paper
• Niuriss baby formula
• All Clean baby wipes
• Ecomax & unscented company’s soap/cleaning products (ecomax dishwasher packs work better than finish and are cheaper)
• Napoleon natural fibre BBQ bristle brush (regular wire brushes are extremely dangerous), and their Prestige BBQs (made in Canada)
• Camino sugar and chocolate (I have never tasted better brown sugar)
• Home Hardware has a lot of Canadian stuff
• Balzacs coffee beans (updated)
• QE Home Linens

Great game, made in Canada too 🇨🇦

The best two I’ve found are PineTime and Bangle.JS

Use Briar

There are Google Play Android bank apps (mine works fine), and you can use mobile sites as dedicated app drawer icons. Their mobile site is top notch.

NFC payments won’t come anytime soon to native GNU/Linux, but I don’t use them. Maybe Google Wallet works, I haven’t tried and don’t know if NFC can be passed through to Waydroid. OnePlus 6 is the best supported originally Android phone for GNU/Linux, someone with that would need to test.

I just have my card in a silicon sleeve on the back of the phone and I get the same effect. I’d rather Google not have my purchase history anyways.

Satnav there is Pure Maps (OSM client), which can connect to sources like HERE to get traffic data to provide voiced guided turn-by-turn instructions. Of course there is also all the Android apps like Google Maps available, and their mobile site works fine.

On the topic of mobile sites, you can also install them as dedicated app drawer icons via Gnome Web & Firefox PWA for any site.

This means if your bank app doesn’t like vanilla Android, GApps, you can use a comparable dedicated web app.

For parking, I’ve found a surprising amount have mobile sites, so I don’t need to install their bloaty Android app onto my GNU/Linux phone.

Crocket & Jones (British) makes fine leather shoes. I’ve seen other good Italian leather shoe makers

Waydroid, Anbox, etc

Mobile GNU/Linux is getting better, but I think it is 5-10 years out from what’s needed. I suppose people need to adopt Desktop first. The nice thing is you can install Android apps including Google Play on it natively, and they appear in your app drawer like a regular app

Ha, wait until they hear who the main developers are for Lemmy! Not much moral consistency

The best chromium browser

When I was considering what to run, I found LineageOS TV provided the best experience for being able to get all the other TV apps, and even Jackbox Games. Many TV apps offer some content free with ads, which can be taken care of. Android TV interface only shows Android TV apps in the main app drawer though.

I loved Debian with KDE Big Screen on the pi for the customizability. You can run scripts like fetching tv schedules right on it (or you can just do this on your jellyfin server), and generally you have more customizability. I run PWAs as well via Firefox. I found Steam Link difficult to get working unless on Buster or earlier.

For remote, I tried out all the ones on Amazon, and found USB connection to be most reliable, and there’s one that has a keyboard on the reverse, and an option to do voice control from the remote that’s a major 🔑

Yea I would not want to give up monetary sovereignty to them either, it will not work long term, and the needed bailouts are just a symptom of the larger issues

This is called Tor
