Tak jo, jeden z nejlíp podporovaných mobilů pro Linux je na cestě 😁
Za 10 dní by tu měl být 👀
Ano, pořád tu mám Pinephone, ale ten se jako daily driver neosvědčil.

I'm concerned about the quality of Google search results. Lately, I'm seeing Reddit links dominate the top spots, even when they're not the most relevant sources. Is there a reason for this? DuckDuckGo is giving out better results. What is going on? 🤔 Btw, if you connected to the vpn and not logged into the Reddit, you get lovely fake message from Reddit. The official Reddit app is crap too. What do you think?

j4n3z,
@j4n3z@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft this is one of the reasons I prefer to use manpages and other documentation. After that I try to crawl project wiki and then random small blogs/git repos in search.
Only after every single option above failed I admit my defeat and turn to reading old Reddit posts (like typically 3-10yrs old threads).

Also weird results is why I don't use Google for years more than once after fresh browser install before I remember to change it to sth else 😅

How many apps do you use on your smartphone? 📳

AND What are the 5 you could not live without? 💬

@gael it's very hard to fit everything I need in only 5 apps. Still feel like something's missing 🤔

  • calendar
  • clock (alarm included)
  • 2FA app
  • browser
  • Telegram

The Fairphone 5 seems significantly less power efficient than the Pixel 7 :(

j4n3z,
@j4n3z@mastodon.social avatar

@martijnbraam there are lot of thoughts about this on Fairphone forum. I've read through about 1/4 of discussion and it looks like Always on Display is probably one part of the issue.

In the last few days I have slowly uncovered that I have, in fact, been scammed by O2 since February 2023.

  • Sales person calls & says I should get a better deal. Same price, more data!
  • I say OK, as long as I don't have to pay more.
  • I get a contract confirmation, incl. 14 day withdrawal rights. Looks good.
  • 20 days later I get a "summary of your new contract" that in small print has a new phone number in it. I don't catch it.
  • My next phone bill comes, is 2x as expensive.

@Techaltar it's a bit worrying but also interestingly calming for me to know that O2 has the same practices across EU 😄

Hi, I haven't followed the progress for a while, which OSes are currently usable on (basic call/SMS, terminal, GPS, not crashing too much)? Is usable (in particular for )? Thanks!

j4n3z,
@j4n3z@mastodon.social avatar

@Goffi hello, my recommendation would be or .
GPS is a bit tricky, because there is no aGPS functionality so you have to wait long time before getting location. Good starting point is always postmarketOS wiki, including lists of apps.
As of waydroid, I have never been patient enough to get it running and even after that I would not recommend it as solution you would rely on. Especially on Pinephone.

Follow these steps after installing NixOS.

@itsfoss small tip: instead of "sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix" you can use "sudo nixos-rebuild edit"

Biggest downgrade in mobile phone and human history 😡

@nixCraft I really don't feel this is bigger downgrade than ditching replaceable battery.
My girlfriend's phone lacks jack so we purchased USB-C to jack for connecting to a car radio and we both use it as it firmly holds on cable and both our phones are able to pass sound through USB-C

DHL wrote me that my package will be delivered between 11:00 ans 12:30. Then at 11:30 they wrote me again saying it's almost here, will ocome in less than 10 mins. It's now 14:50, I still haven't gone out to eat lunch or been able to go to the gym and the package is still not here :D

What game has you click play, blink a few times and it’s suddenly 1AM?

j4n3z,

@gamingonlinux Definitely Skyrim (and that's why I never tried to repair the crashing bug) even after all those years. And then there is Minecraft since 2012 keeping me awake from time to time.

NVIDIA released 535.104.05 driver for Linux, but it has the wrong changelog. Will cover it when they fix that...

Second time they copy/pasted from the previous release notes 💀
