Speaking of cost effective Linux smartphones...who here has one of the latest batches of @PINE64 phones? How stable are the core functions? Can it be used as a daily driver? How common are dead pixels they mention? I'm OCD with that stuff
@ramob I really don't recommend it since it is running unstable daily builds and almost certainly will break at any time. But the basic idea is: Install Ubuntu. Add the daily, staging, and os-patches PPAs. Install all the packages. Remove all the Ubuntu stuff.
The end result is sort of a buggy, poor facsimile of a daily build of elementary OS, but it works for testing some things. 😅
Bloggers of the decentralized web, let's unite and share our knowledge and solutions.
Today marks the beginning of #ELIUF or "Explain Like I Use Facebook" where we post content about how this new internet works and link to other blog posts that share similar knowledge. The target audience is, obviously, the userbase of websites like facebook that breathe the centralized internet but start to see the flaws of their internet.
The first of many #ELIUF posts:
@cassidyjames Good to know I'll stick with my base Manjaro until I break it irreparably. Regardless congrats.
Mobilizon is a free open federated events system for the Fediverse, designed to get people off Facebook Events. You can follow the project here:
It's currently in beta testing, and is made by @Framasoft (the makers of PeerTube and many other free open projects).

@brandon I had no idea this was happening thanks for bringing it up.
@FemDomPoison Is it just me or do those VPNs names sound like they would pop up on a late night infomercial?
@cassidyjames nice! How hard was the process?
@switchedtolinux I've thought of this in the past too. It would be awesome if laws were written more to allow the removal of unagreable items and allow an attempt at modification. Vice permit the all or nothing approach.
#LVGL Widgets ported to #PinePhone #UbuntuTouch... Touch input not working yet... Yep #Pinebook Pro @PINE64 makes a great host for coding PinePhone... Because the #Arm64 platforms are so similar https://github.com/lupyuen/lvgl-wayland

Aspiring System Admin, Software Developer, Network Administrator and/or Cyber Security Professional...in other words one day I'll know what I want to be when I grow up.
For now I tinker.
