@Bullerfar@tophneal One thing you have to watch out for with linux phones (if it's important to you) is:
Do they actually work as phones?
Sending and receiving texts, that sort of thing. Super basic stuff. I had a pinephone for a while and it had a bug where it wouldn't wake from suspend for an incoming call or message. A bit inconvenient!
On the forums, the talk would be about how well you could use IRC or the like. That's nice. But I'd use a laptop for that. For me at least, a phone needs to be a phone.
Currently using Graphene which really does work, but isn't a linux phone in the sense you're using it (I think?).
@stabby_cicada That's one reason we're looking forward to sodium ion batteries, instead of lithium ion like the current ones: much better in cold weather.
@JoeBidet I settled on mobian. I think I tried pmOS (this was back in '21? '20??) and a couple of thers I don't remember. I do remember ssh-ing for something else, never edited crontab though. Sounds interesting! I'll have a look at that. Still have the phone. Be great if I could make it useful 😆
@JoeBidet@urheber I'm one of the "tried Pinephone" people. Not nearly adept enough to do all the CLI work you did. I can edit config files if someone tells me what to type in 😆.
I use a laptop for the fun stuff. A phone to me is for texts and calls. I gave up on the Pinephone because of problems with that. Big one: not waking from sleep to ring. I get about 2 calls a month, but they're the sort I can't miss. After about the 3rd miss, I had to give up. Yes, I'd try again after updates 😖
@tophneal Interesting. I only saw screenshots of Sailfish. I loved the way it looked.

@AllEVSales Excellent site!
@A_norny_mousse That link doesn't load in any of my browsers (chromium, vivaldi, waterfox).
Can you give a summary of what it says?

@smeg Oh man. Good luck. I hope somebody here has some idea what to do. (@sideofburritos has some excellent how-to videos. Might be worth a look.)
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Northern gannets, I think?
Looks like a very serious disagreement!
@Albatrossity@lor.sh The redbud flowers aren't bad either ☺️
@Albatrossity@lor.sh They are such magnificent wonderful funny gorgeous birds!

@Laborer3652 @dandu3 Officially, Macs use MacOS. Sort of like the difference between two versions of Windows, from a user's perspective.
