Pinephone + keyboard case + mobian + emacs: pocket/purse sized emacs cyberdeck reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-01 17:54 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-01 17:55 I put some more images and thoughts [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/dustyweb/status/1509885756441088000) and [on the fediverse](https://octodon.social/@cwebber/108057056785245816) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- crushed_aubergine · 2022-04-01 17:58 Makes me think of a r/cyberdeck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AlanYx · 2022-04-01 18:38 I was just considering this exact configuration two days ago! How do you like it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-04-01 19:10 so cool ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Velnbur · 2022-04-01 19:48 I don't know why, but i need it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-01 20:12 It's pretty good! The main thing is I wish that there were shoulder buttons for ctrl and meta, lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stayclassytally · 2022-04-01 20:59 Are you running Guix in that thing?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- redmoosch · 2022-04-01 22:13 This is so cool! Just a little jealous, I’d love a Pinephone 👌 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BettaGeorge · 2022-04-01 22:32 I love it! What do you actually use it for, though? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- patchikin · 2022-04-01 23:27 good god, this is it, this is what I've been looking for for years! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-04-02 04:15 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndlessApoptosis · 2022-04-02 07:19 The main show stopper for me is battery life. I don't use my phone much, but I would do more on it with emacs, thus increasing screen time and overall consumption. Camera quality is another story, but the main thing is power consumption ---------------------------------------------------------------------- f0urier · 2022-04-02 07:54 Have a portable Emacs as well, with Gemini PDA and Gemian . Works fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Imaproshaman · 2022-04-02 10:57 That's so cool! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3243908 · 2022-04-02 11:33 Did you do any special setup? The first thing I did when I got my keyboard is install emacs. Mobian with the default posh and an external keyboard I found to be 100% horrible. Entering any text box pops up the virtual keyboard, the horizontal screen orientation seems to mess up most apps, etc. I decided that I would need to build my own image with X and emacs. Then I would just use the same config as on my laptop since I already use exwm anyway. I just don't have the time at the moment. If things have gotten better and I don't have to mess around so much I'd love to know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aancel · 2022-04-02 12:20 I do have a similar setup and find it great ! The only issue I have is that the power button is a bit sensible, so putting the phone in my bag often tends to power it on, thus leaving it drained. An amazing little PDA otherwise :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apmillz · 2022-04-02 13:14 This is neat! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- manho1e · 2022-04-02 14:31 No F10....This thing scares me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CommonFiveLinedSkink · 2022-04-02 14:56 Shhh, it's okay. It's okay. It's right there underneath the 0. You don't have to be afraid, the F10-Less isn't real, it can't hurt you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- manho1e · 2022-04-02 14:58 well now i wanna get one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jsled · 2022-04-02 16:31 This has been removed, as posts must relate to emacs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ramin-honary-xc · 2022-04-02 16:32 I'd give you a second up vote if I could for Guile Scheme. I've been learning it myself lately, and it is easily the *most* underrated programming language currently in existence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-02 17:25 in userspace only so far, but I'd love to as my distro eventually ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-02 17:26 it's pretty great! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- paroneayea · 2022-04-02 17:27 I found that turning off rotation, going into settings->display and setting zoom from 200%->100%, also settings->accessibility and turning on large fonts and off the onscreen keyboard made it good enough to use ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stayclassytally · 2022-04-02 20:24 I’m running it on an old ma MacBook, which isn’t the best march, occasionally running into cases where I find software is unavailable but for the most part I think the pros outweigh the (cons) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3243908 · 2022-04-03 09:30 Thank you for the tips. I'll have to give that a shot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ballfresno · 2022-04-05 17:00 I use a phone w/ keyboard for org mode in Emacs on the move (diary, tasks, notes). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MacarioMorenoUK · 2022-06-06 14:46 Is your keyboard case working after the latest mobian updates? mine just stopped after updating and rebooting this morning.
