postmarketOS isn't turning out to be as daily-driveable in the long term as I had hoped.

So, I'm switching to Android (im thinkin LineageOS, tho any other suggestions would be appreciated!)

I've never used Android before, any tips?

@pocketvj @craftyguy well, tbh it's the fault of two things:

  1. Some big cell provider ages ago setting 'unlimited talk and text' as the norm for cell plans
  2. Apple's iMessage being good, and having sms/mms in the same app with it, so apple users just text everybody, and when its not iMessage they can't be bothered to switch to a different app to text people-- (1/2)
krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@craftyguy my reasons for switching are:

  • no camera support*
  • unreliable calls on my device (op6)
  • poor discord support (ik ik, but the reality is most of the communities I'm in are on discord, and those people won't leave (yet))

*yes ik some devices have camera support, but they're either under powered or expensive or both

@pocketvj @craftyguy the big problem with droidian is that it doesn't support MMS, which would be a big issue for me, living in the U.S.

I don't think (most) people appreciate old technology anymore.

Today I brought my typewriter (a Smith-Corona Silent) to each of my classes to take notes with. Other than my friends, most people just didn't seem to care (or even notice).

And of all teachers, my History teacher asked me to put it away.

Is it just me, or do ppl not appreciate old tech as much as I thought they did?

The new wifi and bluetooth quick toggles in #android are so terrible, I'm seriously considering trying out something like UBports

Of course, iOS is even worse.

#AskFedi Anyone know of a good music library manager for Mobile Linux? (esp. Phosh/GNOME)

I like the aesthetic and background playback features of Amberol, but it can't do playlists or scrobble my listens to last.fm. I like the functionality of Lollypop, but it crashes too much and the UI/UX is awful.

Here's my criteria:

  • Adaptive for mobile/touch
  • Scrobble to last.fm
  • Playlists/Artists/Albums
  • Background Playback

Also being pretty would be nice.

Always double-check these things, or get them from a reliable source like Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Fractal

In a peculiar turn of events, Apple is going to implement RCS on their devices!!

https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/

This is great for most people, but we don't have this yet in Chatty/Phosh (we'll be stuck on SMS/MMS!)

I would really appreciate if some awesome person could take this on: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty/-/issues/219 :blobcat3c:

(I might be able to donate to that cool person too if im in a good spot financially by then, but no promises)

So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.

I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"

Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portals.html )

Am I doing this wrong? (Code at https://github.com/TheKrafter/Groupings/blob/rewrite/src/groupings/internal/push.py#L31 )

If I could make a request to all #developers, I think I would just ask them to stop putting dotfiles in /home.

@CleoMenezesJr Like seriously though, how hard is it to put it in ~/.config/ at least?? or even go the extra mile and check where my xdg config dir is. We have specs for this people. Use them.

Why is it so hard to setup an account for SMTP?? I just want to be able to send emails to users on my nextcloud instance.

Does anyone have a straightforward and reliable (free) email provider that provides SMTP support?

So here's a puzzle for yall:
Since i dropped my #PinephonePro on the sidewalk 2 days ago audio hasn't been working.
First, i thought it might be a hardware issue with the jack (as i had headphones in at the time and they got pulled out of the phone as it fell) but the internal speaker and earpeice arent working either.
In pavucontrol it looks like audio should be coming out, but none does.

If anyone has any ideas, please lmk!

(The phone dropped onto the top half of the screen if that matters)

krafter, to GNOME
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

So, I repaired my Macbook Pro 2012 (mbp 9,2) and I'm unsure what to put on it (It'll be my daily driver for school).

I really like #GNOME, but fear it will be too resource-intensive and kinda laggy on the 4gb of ram the laptop has. I want to stick with #Fedora if possible aswell. I looked into cutefish, but it seems unmantained and not realistically available for fedora (couldnt get the copr to work).
Do i use GNOME anyways? Does anyone have good tips on how to make it more lightweight? #Linux

Rip. 's (and apparently all the other source games acfording to reports on ProtonDB) no longer work on Linux since a recent update (apparently a week or so ago, but I havent played in a month).

Strange that of all people would update their games to NOT work. Was really hoping to pick it back up again :/
