Reading some of the comments from the original post, it seems this is a trademark squatting situation. They registered the trademark (among many others I'm sure), then when they found a real tool they quickly built something similar and released it to support their claim. Suggestions on that post are that it happens all the time and ignoring them until it actually goes to arbitration is the best option (with the assumption that it would never get that far).

Regardless of the team dynamics, what I was getting at is simply that a CEO runs the company, and is generally not involved in minor decisions. But he is moving into a product strategy role, one that by definition is focused on what the product (mastodon) does.
He is stepping away from the CEO role to focus on the product. That means you are not getting anything he doesn't want, if anything he has more control over the functionality of Mastodon.
I have one of these that I use for Pi-hole. I bought it as soon as they were available. Didn't realise it was 2012, seemed earlier than that.
If the salmonella is on the outside, shouldn't you cook the outside of the chicken?
Since you can kill the salmonella in eggs without cooking the egg (as in pasturised egg), then the temperature that kills salmonella seems low enough that any form of cooking will kill whatever salmonella is on the outside of the chicken.
Yeah I can imagine trying to do it manually could get pretty tricky. I'll look forward to the smart watch support (though I don't own one, I might get one if others report it working well with GrapheneOS).
Edit: also one thing to try out if possible is to remove battery optimization from Google Play Services. Your device might be killing that, which stops counting the steps.
It seems it's already set to not be optimized. It doesn't seem to have access to the physical activity permission, but granting that permission didn't seem to help. It still doesn't count steps with the screen off.
No matter, thanks for all the ideas, I'll just keep watching and see if others find a solution. I've subscribed to the Walkscape community so hopefully you'll be posting updates there 🙂
It doesn't seem to be helping. If I ever work out a more reliable way to get steps counted I'll let you know. I know some pedometer apps don't need Google Play Services and use a persistant notification to keep it active, but it seems like quite a significant change from what you currently have which wouldn't be worth spending time on to appease such a small group of users.
(at least in America, not sure where your pineapple under the sea is located).
Bikini Atoll, right? But not on the atoll, but the bottom of the sea by/in the atoll. Under the jurisdiction of the Marshal Islands. It seems the minimum wage there is USD$2 per hour, and has been that way since 1986. I found no official source but two sites agree on this.
If Google Play Services aren’t on there, the Recording API will not count steps in the background.
That makes a lot of sense.
Probably easiest solution is to let WalkScape to run in the background, when it’s freezed the battery consumption should be basically nothing.
It's allowed to run in the background, but I have now disabled battery optimisation and will see if that helps.
From my understanding, any app installed directly from Google Play should be in the sandbox and have access to Google Play Services. I haven't quite worked out where the steps are missing, but it seems when the game is open it's fine, and when the game hasn't been killed by the OS it's also fine. If I go back to the game and it has to launch again from scratch, it doesn't seem to count steps that happened while the game wasn't running (foreground or background).
I also see this post where others are seeing the same thing, and are not using GrapheneOS. Maybe my use of GrapheneOS is a red herring and there's actually something else happening.
It was always odd to me that apps need to be constantly active to get the steps. I don't get why the phone doesn't just count in the background then allow you to request "how many steps today" or "how many steps since X date/time" via the API.
We can demand his firing but unfortunately he's one of three founders, he's unlikely to be fired. But I hope it's a wakeup call to them that they should have a policy of keeping their mouth shut on politics, including all board members.
