I would say "Yes", but I also have two Pinephones and have a Librem 5 order in the queue. One pinephone is my "dev" phone (since mmsd tinkers with core mobile networking stuff, I don't want developing to interfere w

Unfortunately, this discounts apps folks depend on made by a company that they need, and that company won't build an app like that. One example could be like a banking app. One that really annoyed me was my school forced Duo Mobile on

This is also true of the pinephone. My entire dev set up for for the pinephone is on my pinephone. All I do is hook up a USB cable and SSH into it (which makes testing a lot easier since mmsd needs to talk to the modem). What is really neat

IIRC they either measure resistance or heat conductivity (as a carbon crystal structure has very specific properties). The device was a pen with two probes on it. It had different lights that said "Diamond", "Mossanite",

Fair! EVE Online has always fascinated me with how much of a world it is. I tried getting into it a couple of times, but I just don't have time for it.

I'll add my name to the list of folks who did not get a dianmond, but a Moissanite ring. A couple of things I learned along the way: - I bought the ring and the Moissenite seperately. I bought the ring at a regular jewelry store (my sp

umm...ok? What was this post trying to get across? Without any concrete benchmarks, it comes across to me like some sort of flexing for reasons that I have no idea why.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm? I'm typing this on a Thinkpad x200 (Intel Core 2 Duo from 2008) running up to date Debian GNU/Linux with MATE, and it runs great!

Gotcha. Unfortunately, I thought I manually added that, but either Evolution didn't understand it or my mailing service didn't like it (which is what I was afraid of and why I CC'ed as well).

To tack on to this, I have seen and I like seeing set a 5/10 year career plan and from that, back out a six month and one year plan. Why? Because I want to make sure that I know what that person's career aspirations are and I want

Per your suggestion, I spammed pretty much anyone involved with mmsd (the Authors, the ofono mailing list again, and the linux-netdev list). I also did the RFS email. Thank you for your help. I really do hope my package and my patches get s

I will look at your suggestion for upstreaming, thank you. So you can see the ITP packaging request here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982250 The debian-on-mobile team is aware of it, but even they

Gotcha. So I may be in a weird spot then. I am trying to get mmsd (not modem manager) into Debian proper. Mmsd itself is not in Debian at all. Per my original comment, I have tried to contact the ofono (mmsd) maintainers via IRC and their m

If I can ask, who do I flag down? Despite using the ITP bug and proper Debian process, I haven't gotten an acknowledgement from anyone that seems to control the packaging.

They do, and both the Mobian devs and Purism devs are well aware of my work. At their suggestion, I have been working to get my mmsd package into Debian proper.

OK I'll bite. I wrote a plugin to get mmsd to function with modem manager and I wrote a reference implimentation to integrate MMS functionality into chatty. I also took the time to make sure my patches were upstreamable, and I have tak

The roads where I live are quite narrow to begin with, and many houses do not have driveways, so street parking is the only choice for many houses. I don't think there is a possiblity of narrowing them in the first place.

That be be so, but having it on your lap or at the transmission shifter so you have to look away from the road to look at it causes the same effect I see: the driver is not paying attention to the road.

Becuase I want to know if the reason they say piracy is easy is because users can install their own apps (which to me is a red herring, as Windows and Linux, this has been true for decades and there are established ways to curtail piracy[1]

This seems to be where they explain it: "Even though Librem Tunnel is just part of the overall Librem One offering, because it’s part of a subscription service, Apple is requiring us to add the ability to sign up and pay for Librem One
