@rimu Maybe more people are finally noticing their very intelligent tax proposal, the one where they point out it applies to over 10.5 million/year.

Couldn't be. Way too reality-based.

@stabby_cicada That's one reason we're looking forward to sodium ion batteries, instead of lithium ion like the current ones: much better in cold weather.

@JoeBidet @urheber I'm one of the "tried Pinephone" people. Not nearly adept enough to do all the CLI work you did. I can edit config files if someone tells me what to type in 😆.

I use a laptop for the fun stuff. A phone to me is for texts and calls. I gave up on the Pinephone because of problems with that. Big one: not waking from sleep to ring. I get about 2 calls a month, but they're the sort I can't miss. After about the 3rd miss, I had to give up. Yes, I'd try again after updates 😖

@AllEVSales Excellent site!

@Bullerfar @tophneal One thing you have to watch out for with linux phones (if it's important to you) is:

Do they actually work as phones?

Sending and receiving texts, that sort of thing. Super basic stuff. I had a pinephone for a while and it had a bug where it wouldn't wake from suspend for an incoming call or message. A bit inconvenient!

On the forums, the talk would be about how well you could use IRC or the like. That's nice. But I'd use a laptop for that. For me at least, a phone needs to be a phone.

Currently using Graphene which really does work, but isn't a linux phone in the sense you're using it (I think?).

@[email protected] Northern gannets, I think?

Looks like a very serious disagreement!

@Laborer3652 @dandu3 Officially, Macs use MacOS. Sort of like the difference between two versions of Windows, from a user's perspective.

@A_norny_mousse That link doesn't load in any of my browsers (chromium, vivaldi, waterfox).

Can you give a summary of what it says?

@JoeBidet I settled on mobian. I think I tried pmOS (this was back in '21? '20??) and a couple of thers I don't remember. I do remember ssh-ing for something else, never edited crontab though. Sounds interesting! I'll have a look at that. Still have the phone. Be great if I could make it useful 😆

@[email protected] They are such magnificent wonderful funny gorgeous birds!

@[email protected] The redbud flowers aren't bad either ☺️

@Allero @DieserTypMatthias Erm, three years ago I bought a Pixel 6a for USD150. Unless they've become collectors' items, it's presumably less than that now.

Though probably more the $50, I'd guess, so your point still stands.

@boonhet @Solrac Good point re postmarketOS.

@tophneal Interesting. I only saw screenshots of Sailfish. I loved the way it looked.

@smeg Oh man. Good luck. I hope somebody here has some idea what to do. (@sideofburritos has some excellent how-to videos. Might be worth a look.)
