       I was honestly getting really fed up with my #librem5 last week. It's been years now and it wasn't anywhere near as reliable as a phone should be. But then a few days ago a fix for modem-resume-after-suspend was pushed and the difference is night and day! I can finally pull my phone out of my pocket in a high-stress my-kid-throwing-tantrum-in-supermarket-and-I-don't-know-which-dogfood-to-buy situation and know that it will Just Work .

       Battery life seems to also have taken a huge leap forward. In fact it's so reliable that it has become boring technology. Gone are the days of gambling on whether I will be able to phone someone. No more homebrew scripts to toggle the usb-bus.Is this what it feels like to be a #normie?

       @samuelnorbury such great news for #linuxmobile which would encourage more to get into the ecosystem.

       @mahmoudajawad Certainly! I finally feel like the platform is a valid option for the less technically inclined.

       @samuelnorbury Less technically inclined will likely still need their apps, but this is still a huge step forward! @mahmoudajawad

       @samuelnorbury Old school phones went for months! Most people I know still talk about daily charges.

       @johnbessa > Old school phones went for months!Most didn't, a few Panasonic models with extra large batteries maybe did. On average, if you didn't talk much, you still had to charge them at least weekly.And the secret technology that old phones used — there wasn't much you could do with them 😂Nowadays most people spend hours using their phones, not necessarily for conversations.@samuelnorbury

       @johnbessa My phone has excellent battery life — it can easily last over 7 days on single charge in standby.About 4-5 days on average usage. I still charge it every couple of days, although I don't have to, I just feel uncomfortable leaving home with battery less than half charged, and I rarely charge it up to 100%.@samuelnorbury

       @johnbessa What part of what did I not get?Your statement that old phones could "go for months", implying that modern phones can't do that, is misleading, most old phones couldn't live for months off a single charge, a week sounds more realistic and modern ones can do that too if you have the same usage scenario — mine sure can. And it's not magic, usage patterns got different, devices didn't get inferior. Do we agee on that?@samuelnorbury
