@JF glad to see #ITD progressing. Paired with my #sxmo setup, it just works as an infinitime companion.

i posted a while ago about how i wish #libreoffice had a mobile-friendly toolbar option out of the box, but by changing a few options this can be achieved pretty easily. first, i disabled all toolbars except the formattimg one to maximize the space to view the document. second i resized paper (in writer) to A5 and set the view to 'fit to width' so that i don't have to adjust font size constantly to see text. useful for both portrait and landscape

@m4iler @fsfe i can see a counterargument to this perspective being that a) countries need different solutions for their use cases, so directly using open projects without significant modification is unlikely b) tax funded open projects encourage the interoperation between governments to collaborate on these projects, benefitting most governments without significant burden on a few. maybe that's just idealistic though

@tuxdevices throwing my own two cents in as a year plus long #pinephone daily driver user. concerns over battery life, modem and internet connectivity, and the absence of an "app" ecosystem have all been resolved over time. things were rougher when running #dwm #sxmo back in november of 2021, but im now happily settled in with #sway on sxmo and it works great for schoolwork, communication, media like music and peertube videos, and #convergence.

@JF @PINE64 glad to help! im always looking for opportunities to develop my skills in packaging and scripting. also this way hopefully the barrier to entry with #pine64 #lora devices is lower for more people. i'll make sure to create a non git package if a tagged release becomes available

with the testing release of #sxmo 1.12.0 on #danctnix arch linux arm, i decided i'd test this release on my #pinephone. here's my current #convergence setup. #linuxmobile for the win!

guess what arrived? the brand-new #PineBudsPro and another sealed #PineTime! my old pinetime stopped charging after over a year and a half of loyal service, and it was time for a new device. who knows, maybe i can tear apart the old pinetime and figure out what's wrong. in the meantime, the PineBuds sound quality is far superior to any other bluetooth earbuds i've tried (and i've tried like 5 brands) and i'm excited for the community-driven project to mature. hooray for #openhardware!

i dropped my #pinephone this morning on the way to a 3 hour AP practice test, and cracked the top right corner of the screen through the screen protector and damaged the midframe :(the practice test didn't even go well. at least i can replace the screen and midframe myself with $60 and a screwdriverthen again now might be the time to finally buy a #pinephonepro if i want to use it for university this fall. the OG pinephone works great for high school right now though, so i don't know

@jlcrawf my pinephone's main speaker no longer works on a hardware level according to the factory test image (and hasn't for a while), and i rarely make calls so the earpiece speaker quality isn't a big concern either. i know there are other software problems with a ppp like battery life, but i often have the pinephone plugged into the keyboard case or nexdock so that too isn't a major concern. the biggest problem with my pinephone right now is the speed

@jlcrawf i remember a time when this was the case on the pinephone, for me it came down to setting the call volume in biktor's modem firmware lower or something, i don't remember. it ended up being resolved eventually, and i only call very occasionally. it might be worth it, i'll decide tomorrow when i have time to think about it. the screen still functions just fine on my pinephone so it's not pressing

@jlcrawf regardless of what i do, i'm going to order a replacement screen for the pinephone so i have it as a backup. i'm also going to order a replacement charging circuit for my old pinephone keyboard case that i fried a while back now that replacement parts are available for it. time for another pine64 shopping run!

i've continued the #frameufferphone project at https://sr.ht/~hamblingreen/framebufferphone. Miles Alan discontinued the project earlier this year and i want to get it to a spot where it can be daily driven on #postmarketos and #danctnix. first up on the todo list: update fbp to be based on zig 0.10.1

okay, i just met someone else who has a #pinephone for the first time and i'm just blown away. he doesn't daily drive the device as he's on an AT&T MVNO and couldn't get telephony working. but he actually knows what i'm talking about and when i told him i ran arch on my phone he didn't look at me like a crazy person. i'm on top of the world!

happy new year! and right to work i go, testing #framebufferphone on both #pmOS and #ArchLinuxARM on the #pinephone and #pinephone pro with a patch applied that updates fbp to be built on the Zig 0.11.0 codebase. huge thanks to ~noneofyourbusiness on sourcehut for submitting that patch, i'll have it merged shortly!
