If you are using a Pinephone and are in the USA, chances are you are already using (some of) them: I wrote mmsd-tng, the backend to giving MMS on the Pinephone: https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/ vvmd/vvmplayer,

No, I was geniunely curious? Not sure why you are hostile.....but it isn't worth my time to figure out.

I'm not disagreeing, I think it is awesome! I built several apps that are aimed for Mobile linux, and the only reason I build them specifically on the Pinephone is because I need to test it with the modem.

Here is one person's experience with it over the past two years: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31806639 I have been using a Librem5 for the past six months full time, here is my comment on usage from ~week ago:

Looking through this, I don't see anything that is Pinephone specific. Building Pinephone apps is just like building for a Linux distro with a small screen and a modem. So I am curious, what about the process was Pinephone specific?

Unfortunately shipping li-ion batteries is not easy as well. IIRC, this is actually one explicit reason Pine64 is making an EU store, so it is easier to ship things like li-ion batteries to folks.

From what I understand, one can't even change the title of the chat if it is SMS/MMS versus iMessage. That is a client side issue that Apple chooses not to allow, so I would argue, yes it is that petty. I know it is a client side

Matrix has a managed bridge to WhatsApp: https://element.io/blog/ems-launches-fully-managed-matrix-br... And there are a bunch of Matrix clients for Mobile Linux (I use Nheko, but Fluffychat is quite good as well)

Skimming through, I am surprised they don't call out this. I know for a Pixel 3a, you cannot even boot AOSP without compiling in the driver binaries: https://source.android.com/setup/build/downloading#download

I use it for Calls, SMS/MMS, Email, Calendar, tasks/TODOs, various chat applications, 2FA, password manager, and internet. So it fills the functions I expect in a smartphone. I think it has some apps for social media, but I only h

This is some good background info: https://drewdevault.com/2022/01/18/Pine64s-weird-priorities.... TL;DR: Pine64 creates the hardware, but pretty much depends on the community to get software support. As a re

> Is anyone using postmarked as a daily driver replacement for their phone? Yes. I'm not sure I understand your question though. A big use case for PostmarketOS is software for a mobile phone, so that's my use case.

As an FYI, Cookie Auto delete has the option to delete the cookies as soon as you close a tab vs. when you close Firefox, which to me is a lot nicer.

I have personally used Mobian and PostmarketOS as a daily driver. The "Phone" aspect works pretty well (Calls, SMS/MMS, voicemail, VoLTE, no Wifi Calling). The base model Pinephone works fine for very basic tasks, but is very

ok, sure they could? I don't get your point. The entry point to buy a mechanical watch isn't $500k USD. I have a 1860s mechanical pocket watch that I purchased for $60.

I would assume one could become skilled at mushroom foraging much, much faster and with much, much less tooling than creating a watch movement.

If you are curious on actually making a watch movement, I recommend looking at George Daniel's book "Watchmaking". It is a very well put together book, but is also very technical.

After skimming through a large portion of George Daniel's book "Watchmaking", if anything, I very much appreciate how complicated making a mechanical watch is, and even more so, how easy it is to get things wrong. From what I

My understanding is that the coin's value is derived from it's weight and the precious metal it is. So when you get e.g. A Denarius, it's value was in the weight of silver it is. The coin was a way to folks to know that it wa

The git issue is hard to follow. They reference having GPL'ed license code, but the author claims there is only LGPL code in it. The issue poster then says at one point GPLed code was used....but then doesn't show commits where it
