With everything going on in the world, I take joy from the small things. Today, that happens to be controlling GNOME podcasts on pmOS with my PineTime. Amazing work devs!
Seriously though, is there such a thing as a Linux developer appreciation day?
We need #openhardware with #bluetooth so we can link them it to #MyGNUHealth.
Currently we have @pine64eu smartwatch, but we'd love to integrate scales, glucometers, blood pressure monitors...
Just reply to this toot or send us a message if you know of any device. We'd love to test them!🤗 #GNU#GNUHealth#pinephone#PineTime
Magic is the Open Source community! Some time ago, I began implementing the find-my-phone feature for #PineTime. However, I got stuck on debugging because I didn't have the devkit, only the sealed version. Fortunately, I received the #devkit for free. Even more fortunate, someone debugged my code and fixed it.
Very happy with my new #PineTime#smartwatch. Shown in the photo is my preferred watch face style out of the default available options, a retro Casio face. Thank you to @PINE64 and the wider open hardware and software community! I'm going to test out the sleep tracking tonight while connected to #Gadgetbridge and upgrade the firmware as soon as I get a chance.

I bought a #PineTime because it's #OpenSource and it respects my #privacy by keeping my private information on my phone rather than sending it to the cloud to be abused by marketers and heaven knows who else.
I like it as far as it goes, but it's pretty basic. I wish there were a much more full-featured #SmartWatch that was open source and respected my privacy.
The main reason I wear it is to count footsteps. The actual numbers don't matter at all: the watch is really just a reminder to get off my backside and keep active.
I got a #PineTime! (yes of course I got the dev version that doesn't snap together in order to allow access to the debug port, so it requires rubber bands to wear 😅)
I have been using a #PineTime for about a couple of years now and I love it. My partner is in need of a heart monitor as part of her ongoing quest to manage her very #MECFS -like #LongCovid symptoms, but I'm not convinced the heart monitor on such a smartwatch as I have would provide the accuracy she needs. Anyone aware of any (privacy-respecting #FOSS) heart monitors that also offer reliable accuracy? Have I got it wrong and in fact the PineTime would do the job just fine? #AskFedi
I had full room on my #FOSDEM talk about #PineTime. The recordings should be available soon (they gave it to me for review already yesterday. wow!). I have added my slide notes into pretalx.
Attending #FOSDEM via old laptop repurposed for webdev-device with #alpinelinux on it. Tooting this with #SailfishOS from Finland with a #pinetime on my left wrist. For the breaks I plan to reinstall #postmarketOS or #Mobian to my old oneplus6, doesn't really matter, really just want go try #phosh in action. Damn, linux ftw! What a brilliant thing you have brought to the world @torvalds ! Thank you for your great efforts! In case it was unclear, I'll be attending mobile. :D
I had ordered a #PineTime late october from the Pine 64 website. It came in France mid-November. I paid taxes online (I first checked if it was the real website of laposte). But never received it. Both local carrier (#LaPoste) and Pine Microsystems advise me to check with the other one...
Any advice? :shibacry:
