It took dedication and hard work, but I did it. I won a 9x9 game of go against an ai opponent on the easiest setting. Better retire while I'm on top.

@PINE64 Woohoo! My PinePhone is here! Unfortunately I'm stuck at "use your fingernail or another soft object to pop up the back of the case". I've tried my fingernail and a coin, but so far no luck. Any pointers?

@brad @PINE64 Ah ha - got it after watching https://youtu.be/rgfIjSvEtWw?t=138. Didn't realize the back was flexible, and was trying to pry in both directions at the notch which... does not work well :)

@postmarketOS Mine just arrived! Excited to play with this more and hopefully contribute, but here are some bumps I hit in the first few minutes:

@postmarketOS When setting PIN, on-screen keyboard pops up the digit you're pressing just above that digit... which exactly overlaps the button above it. A bit confusing.Entering FDE password at boot - a bit laggy, and no option to make visible. Took a couple tries.In portrait mode, Firefox cuts off the right edge, including the menu button.Cheese doesn't show up in the app-list despite being installed. Launched from terminal and doesn't find camera. (Maybe hidden on purpose?)

@postmarketOS I got a certificate error when first checking for updates, but it doesn't happen again now. Maybe the installed updates fixed the corresponding cert?Circling back to FDE: it's not obvious how strong this password ought to be. Coming from Android, a simple "pin" is generally considered sufficient. Here I assume this is being fed at least through some KDF like bcrypt? Is there any hardware-based rate limiting?

@postmarketOS No, this is after updating. I checked again and it says "software is up to date". Maybe the error during the first attempted update left things in a broken state? Is there a particular version of a particular package I ought to check?

@jcbrandIt doesn't need to be a directly existential threat for the POT to apply. Eg if we "tolerate" misogyny in tech then we'll continue to drive women out of it.

I'm not especially familiar with the mental health profession, so I couldn't really say.Are you saying that if there *were* rampant misandry in the mental health industry that made it an uncomfortable place for men to work, that should be tolerated? Or that you don't think misogyny in tech is a real problem?

@fribbledom Permission denied. Is there a no-password user?

wordle:@sshwordle.daveroda.com: Permission denied (publickey).Nope. Poked around the ssh man page a bit, but I don't see an easy way to force is to try authing with an empty password. Oh well
