yeah, sdf itself is doing fine but sadly their lemmy instance hasn't been well maintained for a while and got completely offline some time ago. though looking at the message on the webpage hopefully they're coming back soon..
nice comment, but just wanted to add that carrier locks and bootloader locks aren't really related. samsung got rid of the bootloader unlock feature with oneui 8 regardless of the region, so do NOT update the stock OS if you haven't already. even if it runs oneui 8 now, it might be possible to downgrade to oneui 7 depending on the bootloader anti-rollback version number though.
libreoffice under termux + termux-x11 was the best solution i could find in 2025, actually worked really well. but it could be a bit tedious to use if you're not familiar with *nix stuff.
i think the termux repo didn't ship libreoffice and i had to use proot distro debian, but i may be misremembering.
is it possible to switch to email from my google acc tied account? or do i need to create a new one?
