Leaving Apple & Google:
Desktop Mode feature: we need your opinion
Do you think /e/OS should add a Desktop Mode user interface?
Imagine connecting your smartphone or tablet to an external screen and seamlessly picking up right where you left off—effortless productivity on a bigger screen, with keyboard and mouse connected if you want.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this idea!
Replacing Mozilla Location Service, share your thoughts!
Last year, Mozilla stopped to operate their widely used network location service “Mozilla Location Service”. In order to ensure a continuity of service in /e/OS, we have replaced it by an anonymizer proxy service of our own to the HERE network location service.
Since then, a few initiatives have started to provide alternatives to the Mozilla Location Service and we are considering switching to one of them called “BeaconDB”.
It can already be tested in recent /e/OS builds!
We’d love to hear from /e/OS users’ experience about it!
If you are interested in testing and evaluating it, please join our forum discussion.
