@elb I need something like this for my TODO lists too.

@kyle Nice write-up! Out of curiosity, what's the magnetic dock you mention in the article?

@agx @purism Awesome! Is this available somewhere? I've been a bit disappointed by the current boarding pass offerings on linux at the moment... neither KItinerary nor Gnome Passes seems to be able to handle a simple PDF.

@agx @purism Cool... I'll have to play around with this when I get a chance.

@linmob @agx @purism I haven't had any luck getting KDE Itinerary to import certain types of tickets (e.g., Amtrak). It tries and fails to identify metadata in the file and then refuses to import the ticket. Nautilus + Evince continues to be my method of choice.

@agx @FrOSCon Great talk! Out of curiosity, do you know what the state of the art is for mobile governors (dynamic frequency scaling) on mainline linux. One of my students has been playing around with Android's governors, and it's looking increasingly like even the defaults (one of which originates from mainline) are over-engineered for the phones we''ve tested on. I don't know what the frequency scaling options look like on the imx8, but there might be some low hanging power savings there.

@agx @FrOSCon What we've been seeing on the snapdragons we've been testing with is that governor policies that adaptively scale CPU frequency are "butting heads" with the idle thread policy. That is, when running the idle thread, it seems like the kernel cuts all power to the core already, so there's not a huge benefit to scaling based on CPU load, which Android's defaults (at least one of which is inherited from linux) are configured to do...

@kyle The database textbook I used to use also has an Indian edition that cuts out the index and table of contents. It's a good teachable moment, why an index is worth doubling the price.

@mobian @linmob @whynothugo @thewk I understand the 360 fixed some of the hardware issues in the 2 (e.g., it's much lighter), but the 2 has a frustrating ~20s auto power-off as soon as it loses the active display. Whenever the phone sleeps the display, the 2 powers down, cutting power and outright disconnecting the display on the phone's side. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get my hands on a 360 to compare. Would anyone with a 360 be willing to comment on whether this got fixed as well?

@kyle We used https://www.tinkercad.com/ for an outreach project some time back. I wasn't running that segment of the program, but my colleague who did sang its praises. Online only for better and worse.

The #KDEConnect protocol is slick. Just sent a tel: link via #GConnect on desktop, to #Valent on #phosh and over to Gnome Calls.

@JustineSmithies #Librem5 with #PureOS for about a year now, and a pinephone (and then a pro) since mid 2020. Most of my usage is Calls, Chatty, Clock, #Firefox, and #Tuba. I bemoan the lack of a good Matrix client (Chatty hates my server, Fractal next and Fluffychat are both buggy). #Cantata for music and mpd remote. Todos, Millipixels, Vvmd, Calendar and PureMaps occasionally get use. Evolution is my email client since (i) my org forces EWS and (ii) Geary lacks crypto signatures.

@chrichri @JustineSmithies I tried it a long time ago, and it was a bit awkward on mobile at the time. Might be worth looking into again!

@purism Grats on the release! Any chance you'll eventually an upgrade kit? One of the major appeals of the hardware is how its modularity limits unnecessary ewaste.

@user8e8f87c @ubuntu @gnome This is basically the #Librem5 and the #PinePhone /Pro . I'd love to see more funding and energy go into the software ecosystem for sure! ... but what do you see as the value proposition of Gnome-specific hardware?

@jlcrawf @user8e8f87c @ubuntu @gnome That would be nice... but challenging if they *also* want to support software development. I'd be surprised if the parts cost for the Librem5 was significantly greater than the PinePhonePro. The cost difference pays for a team of developers to do the thankless work of power tuning, to work around the sorry state of embedded hardware atm, to upstream kernel patches, etc... 1/2
