@izaya yeah, I thought that might be the case. I'm OK with the "it's just a computer, do what you like with it" model, since I'm getting it to play around with. So, I'm guessing I don't have to jump through hoops to "root" the device like with most commercially sold Android phones.
@lucifargundam

@lucifargundam I'm sure I will once I get it. Given that it is beta, I'm wondering what the experience of troubleshooting and bug reporting is like. Are there good tools for pulling memory dumps, log files, etc? How much does the Pine64 group do themselves in terms of software support? Is it just low-level stuff and the rest they just point you to Manjaro? Is bug reporting integrated into the platform like, for ex, reportbug on Debian? That kind of thing.

If you don't mind the sales pitches, GTC has some pretty good vids

@izaya wow. I pre-ordered one, curious to see what the hubbub is about, but I've also heard it's still kinda "beta"

Do you think Brexit will result in conflict as bad as the worst of "The Troubles" in Ireland within the next five years?

ADSL works over wet string? Well, I was once fortunate (or unfortunate?) enough to experience "ADSL over a DISCONNECTED phone line" at home. While performing a building-wide copper to fiber optics upgrade, the phone company stupidly unplugged my phone line from the distribution box. the phone is completely dead, zero voltage. But the ADSL modem was able to complete the handshake! The speed was degraded to ~128 Kbps but I was still able to read a basic webpage or chatting on IRC... Apparently the parasitic capacitance on the line is enough for the ADSL signal to jump across the air gap.

The final result is:

* R = 25%
* G = 40%
* B = 36%

As expected (and described in the thread), the gamut is pretty low (ie. not an immense possibility of colours, due to fact that masto polls options sum is 100)

0..100 to 0..255 (in gimp) give:

* R = 63.8 (64)
* G = 102
* B = 91.8 (92)

HTML: #40665C

It's a soft, dark, bluish green!

It's complimentary color is #66404A (102,64,74)

Its triadic scheme:
#5C4066 (92,64,102) and #665C40 (102,92,64)

We could call it "Fédi-vert"?

I'm somewhat amazed that zoom became the de facto video conferencing software this past year. I've barely used it, and I've been somewhat bewildered listening to other folks lamenting excessive Zoom calls, but the interface, especially on mobile, is pretty unfriendly (can't be bothered to list why here). Was this a case of network effects or positioning? Like, it's weird Skype and MS didn't win out on this one.
