Sway is bae. Been using it for a bit now… I just really like how responsive it is. Bless the pinephones sxmo project to teaching me the way.

Fam, people are insanely petty… I frequent the pinephone channel rooms and I can almost predict when someone is about to post some toxic(sometimes illegal) shit there. All because someone didn’t read and or doesn’t have enough base Linux experience for such a janky phone and they’re butt-hurt over their investment. Bless text only clients.

So… It’s not without it’s challenges and I obviously cannot speak to how long it will last (particularly the hinge seems like it might long term be an issue), but I really love my p8 mini laptop. It’s a small 2 in 1 laptop that comes with a stylus, meets your price point and runs Linux pretty well. It has some quirkiness … Like when you boot the login screen is a blank screen until you close the lid to suspend and reopen. But otherwise is fairly peppy, and the pen works great. I’m using endeavoros with plasma but have just switched to sway. The latter greatly improves battery life. My biggest complaint is the placement of Q and Tab as well as / and .

nheko is used by a lot of pinephone users. it works great on mobile. and as i type this, i’m realizing you meant for like a normal ass mobile phone… my bad lol.

edit - that said… and i don’t know why this is so controversial given the self hosting option, I really like what beeper offers. But you do need a beeper account vs matrix (even tho its the same but I digress)

As someone that legit hates reality tv… There was something oddly fascinating about flavor of love, who loves new year and for the love of Ray j… With the latter being the best since it was clear on episode 1 who he was going to pick and he just made these poor women do outrageous shit… To be fair more the half the ladies there were just trying to be on TV and it was cringey as hell…

Nheko has this feature… I think cinny does as well… I wish gomuks did…

awesome, thank you… i’ll have to read into this more!

how does shelter differ from insular - assuming you know. I just haven’t seen that one and am curious

A lot of bangers in the comments, but I didn’t see my favorite!

container (kinda) for your apps https://f-droid.org/packages/com.oasisfeng.island.fdroid/

I don’t think so, but it’s everywhere and I know folks tend to dislike that… I’m for their products

Aio launcher… Slick and I just like what it provides.

And before it became the next great yt sponsor… Ground.news . I’ve had it for like 4 years and it’s refreshing … I do miss the comments section but I also understand it was becoming a mess to moderate with their tiny team

I could be wrong… But I believe it’s a big release they’ve been talking about for a long time but haven’t gotten there yet. Like I recall talks about it at least a year ago… But I am not known for my stellar memory 🤷

There’s a neocities project… As for Netscape… I think SeaMonkey is still active?

It was like 10 years ago but source forge did notably had an issue with malware in their offerings. But they have since claimed to scan these apps…

So maaaybe?

this might be cheating… but I’m really into the pokemon emerald rogue romhack… You can use your cart’s rom to build it or ya know just find it, but it’s a really fun and fresh new take on the pokemon world. all 9 generations makes it fun and hard ad i’m way behind on keeping up…

Folks here doing God’s work

so i have’t really gotten to test this hard but seems like 4ish to 6ish hrs of work… It does get a lil warm but I have my plasma settings to change cpu gov on power events and that really helps… i think i could get more if I switched to sway or something. It suspends really well with only loosing a percent or two overnight and hibernating works.

The only things that aren’t working out of box are autorotating the screen and when the device boots up it seems to want to display the login screen on a screen other than the default. A simple closing the lid, waiting for it to sleep and reopening the screen fixes this. Or if you have an external monitor it’ll output there by default. I feel like the latter could easily be fixed as it feels like I need to default it do the correct screen and I suspect it’s picking up the touch screen device as the display… It shows up on the battery settings as a display with a discharging battery for some reason. The auto rotating doesn’t bother me… I prefer having explicit control of the rotation for my needs.

I’m using endeavoros with plasma 6

So I’m like a week in… but I bought an ‘p8 mini laptop’ off ebay as it found a sale cheaper than aliexpress… but i’m loving it. n100, 12gb ram and 512gb hd. amaa

Necro edit - forgot to mention I got it for 330 pulse shipping
