The new Linux phone from Jolla & its benefits? ⛵ :linux:
◉Sailfish OS - the only independent commercial mobile OS
◉Sailfish is NOT 100% closed source - Jolla plans to open the remaining blobs
◉More "Linuxy" than Android; Qt / Wayland / filesystem
◉Free of Google / Apple
◉Use Android compatibility in case an :android: app is needed
◉Jolla is a Finnish company - 🇫🇮 / 🇮🇸 are considered most trustworthy nations in Europe
I am backing up my #SailfishOS phone before I move to an Android-based OS, and damn will I miss ssh access and the ability to just use rsync to back-up the data off of it.
Sigh. :blobpensive:
If only there was SailfishOS for Fairphone 4. If only. :sadcat1:
Hi @cheeaun
I just started using phanpy yesterday, and it seems to have everything I was missing in pinafore/semaphore. Thank you! 🥰 Loving it :)
But just now it stopped working on https://phanpy.social and can't load posts, though it works with both semaphore and the mastodon web ui.
Any idea what's wrong?
I'm using the #SailfishOS browser which uses the Firefox Gecko engine.
I am blown away by #Jolla's new subscription model... I can understand why it is necessary, but at this point I would go with #PlasmaMobile with #PostmarketOS: open source as I wish #SailfishOS was
With great effort I've successfully been avoiding #WhatsApp so far, but this hard exploit has sadly come to an end and I must install it for a circuit training group I'm part of.
I've experienced the same delusion when I had to switch back to #android from #SailfishOs because of apps available only there. Or when I had to create #Facebook temporary accounts to join certain communities.
So annoyed by coercion exerted by society when it comes to products, sgrunt!
Now they're announcing some trustworthy 100% private, user-controlled AI thing - that's supposed to be helpful with everyday tasks. I am not hype on AI, but if the promises hold up, that's interesting.
It's baffling to me that most people are willing to suffer all the craptitude that runs by default on Android. I had to skip and disable at least a dozen services and apps immediately after the first run setup. It's gross and I don't like it.
:linux: Jolla | Makers of truly competitive Linux for mobile - NEW PHONE COMING! 🤳
◉Jolla is a small but spicy company on a field of relentless competition
◉Due this - Sailfish OS moves to a subscription model (but it's just 5€ / month)
◉New budget phone comes with 2 ARM Cortex-A75 CPU / 6 Cortex-A55 cores
◉8GB of RAM / 128gt space / 4,000 mAh bat
◉Pre order for €299 (incl. a 1-yr sub) & Jolla takes €50 deposit
Bon, parce que j’en ai un peu marre et que #Jolla n’a pas l’air décidé de corriger ce problème qui dure...
Retrait de la météo de l’écran des notifications et retrait de l’app météo sur le téléphone sous #SailfishOS
connexion ssh sur le téléphone,
sudo zypper se weather
sudo zypper rm (liste des paquets rpm trouvés et correspondants)
valider.
Terminé. Pas besoin de relancer quoi que ce soit.
The release includes various security updates and other bug fixes that affect all Sony adaptations taken from Jolla.
The delay between the last was mostly caused by the development for the update discovery service and
my personal situation in my private live took a turn for the worst last year. The Xperia 1/5 II port also took some time of course.
Pfff, je suis claqué.
Mais j’ai pu faire la boucle de la Moselle.
Et qu’est-ce que j’ai pu apprécier #Maep sur #SailfishOS avec le GPS qui fonctionne et le fond de carte Open Cycle Map.
Vérifier que je suis sur la bonne route (avec quelques oups, pas la bonne route).
Faire un autre itinéraire parce que route fermée.
edit : mauvaise capture. Départ porte Sainte-Catherine (j’ai lancé l’appli Place Stan mais j’ai oublié de tapoter sur "Acquisition de traces" pour avoir le trajet dans un fichier gpx" et arrivée Place Stan.
J’ai suivi le canal et non la Meurthe à cause des pavés. Puis Pompey, Liverdun, Villey Saint-Étienne, Toul, Chaudeney sur Moselle, Pierre la Treiche, Sexey aux forges, et toutes les écluses entre Neuves-Maisons, Messein, Fléville-devant-Nancy, Laneuveville-devant-Nancy, et Jarville la Malgrange, pour enfin continuer à suivre le canal (et non la Meurthe).
90 km pour la boucle de la Moselle, 100 km et quelque au total à vélo aujourd'hui.
Edit 2 : j’oubliais : parcours effectué avec un vélo pliant en 20". Vitesse assez limitée, et j’ai pris mon temps pour faire le parcours, en prenant des photos.
Parcours préparé à l’avance (à peu près, suffit de regarder la carte), noter les quelques passages sur route, prendre 1l d’eau, une thermos de café (important !), et deux casse-croute. Un pour 13h, un pour 17h.
Heading back to the UK from #FOSDEM and what an amazing event once again. The #LinuxOnMobile stand was packed for two days continuous and it was wonderful to talk to so may #SailfishOS users, users of other mobile Linux distros and curious explorers!
It's both weird and sad to me that some of the easiest phones to degoogle are Google branded phones. Why aren't more mobiles just plain open?! I did like my Pixel2, but I generally flip flop between Android and iOS. It's now time for Android again, and I picked up a nice #thinkphone and am annoyed at how much on here I just can't remove. It'd be nice to just run one of the many choices out there such as #lineageos, #postmarketos , Mobian, or #droidian. I miss #luneos#webos and #sailfishos .
