Just ordered my first #linuxphone from #jolla with #sailfishos as it’s OS! Excited to play around with it and put it to a test, but my main hope is that it can fully replace my iPhone as main driver phone (either right away or at a later point).

Been using iPhone for around 15 years, but not happy with the walled garden, privacy issues nor price levels - and want to actively promote #FOSS so that it can also become a robust alternative for mobile.

Let’s see how it lives up to my expectations and hope once it arrives!

Anyone else that have a #jolla - or thinking of getting one? What are your experiences with it?

Just installed #PostmarketOS on a #OnePlus6 I bought for this purpose (writing this toot on it rn ). Been working great except for two things:
- Megapixels is missing some oneplus,enchilada.ini config file and I can't figure out where to get it from...
- Chatty won't start from the app menu. It starts fine from the command line, but that's not really practical
If anyone has any idea, help is welcome

The dumbphone I bought like a year ago is such bad quality that it’s already significantly broken, only barely usable if you squint. I should get something more reasonable, and it can either be a decent quality dumbphone or something I can slap a Linux on and send SMSs over ssh. What are the current best options in these areas?

Exploring the Viability of Linux Phones: A Developer's Perspective

So, when these Apple devices die (or rather, when the updates have slowed them down enough, and the battery has depleted to the point of not getting through the day - which should be next year or the year after, if the pattern holds)… my next devices will be some of the following, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of getting them to work… any recommendations?

Phone options:
- Pine Phone
- Fair Phone
- Murena
- Librem
- Pro 1x
- Volla Phone
- SageTea XFone

Watches:
- Any of these with AsteroidOS: https://wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/Category:Watches
- PineTime
- ZSwatch:

Any suggestions or advice?

Er der nogen her som har erfaring med

Det er tid at gå (tilbage) til #linux på #mobil - men de to apps er ligesom #cantDoWithout ...

tak!

I attached an #RTLSDR USB receiver to my @Furilabs #FLX1. It works as expected, in this screenshot receiving all of our neighbor's wireless weather stations.

(And the odd wireless tire pressure sensor, now I have to find that Toyota and tell its owner it's too low)

My #SailfishOS app #BitSailor (a native #BitWarden client) just git an update which speeds up most operations significantly if the experimental local api is enabled.

Mich rüde ja echt mal interessieren auf welcher handware / phone diese #postmakrtos am besten läuft!? Gibt es da irgendwo eine Art Übersicht? Ist es schon gut einsetzbar in der Praxis oder doch nur Spielerei? #linuxonmobile #linuxphone

Apparently the #Furilabs #FLX1 actually did have the hardware to drive an external display over USB-C and it's now being made usable. That changes the value proposition of the device a lot!

Two USB-C ports on the Liberux NEXX: more possibilities, more freedom.
The #LiberuxNEXX will have two USB-C ports: one at the bottom and one on the side. Why?

Extended connectivity: charge while using a peripheral or connect multiple accessories.
Auxiliary add-ons: imagine a dock, an extra battery, or a physical keyboard.
Flexibility: no matter how you use it, you'll always have an accessible port.

What would you like to connect to the NEXX? We're listening!

The "Mobile Linux"/"Linux Mobile" discussion feels like a rehash of the "Open Source" terminology discussion in the 90's that led to more diverse terms (e.g. FLOSS).

I propose:

#linuxmobile / #mobilelinux as umbrella terms for all efforts at bringing the standard Linux ecosystem to any mobile device (e.g. also tablets)

#linuxphone for a phone running standard Linux ecosystem parts *predominantly* (e.g. allows Android kernels and Halium)

#FLOSSPhone for a phone with no proprietary parts

Ob Europa schon an einem eigenen Smartphone OS arbeitet um Android und iOS abzulösen?

With #Apple refusing to backdoor advanced encryption (good) in the UK and instead withdraw access to the tool for those in the UK rather than legally fight it (bad), it opens up interesting other implications for countries with well known histories of anti-encryption like Australia and the US.

Time to test how accessible it is to backup files and photos on a #Linux phone using #postmarketOS and #NextCloud and do a blog write up I guess?
