  • So you think politicians actually want better educated voters but don't have patience for it? That's cute.

  • Most of they will but hopefully we will still have projects like PinePhone or Fairphone that will support it.

  • As I said, I don't think we can expect PostmarketOS to work on normal phones but looking at the table they have PinePhone figured out. My hope is that we will soon see something like PinePhone but with proper specs that will actually be usable and that some phone makes like Fairphone will help make PostmaketOS run on their phones. Couple of properly supported models is all we really need and I hope it's couple of years away, not a decade.

  • No one here is talking about regular people. Regular people will keep using stock Android.

    UBports still relies on Android kernel and services. Custom ROMs are such a small part of the Android ecosystem that I didn't think Google will go after them yet they did. Can we be sure in a couple of years they will not try to destroy Android based distros like UBports?

    I also don't really like the entire idea behind UBports. It's so heavily modified you can't even easily run native Linux apps so you're limited to Ubuntu Touch apps. As a developer I'm not really interested in learning completely new framework that supports only one platform. We have solutions to create cross platform Linux-Android apps so I can move my apps from Android phone to PostmarketOS without any work, they already work there.

    So I'm supporting PostmarketOS and I really hope it will be usable when my Pixel phone dies. If not I will switch to something Halium based. What else is there to do?

  • Yes but you will also stop getting security fixes. After some time it gets risky.

  • Here you can see current state: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

    In theory it will just be another Linux able to run on everything Linux supports + Android hardware. Honestly I don't know if it will ever run on common modern phones but it should at least be possible to run it on more "open" phones like Fairphone or PinePhone.

  • Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds

    Jump

  • This current brings warmer weather to Europe so it will get colder when it collapses. I think Europe should make collapsing this current their official climate change mitigation policy. No one else affected is really interested in doing anything to stop it anyway.

  • Why did PinePhone fail?

    Jump

  • Because Linux on phone isn't ready. Phone makers only support Android and only project that use Android kernel are anywhere near usable. Mainstream Linux still need work. PinePhone offers a good, cheap platform to keep working on it and progress is being made. Time will tell if we will ever get there. Mobile is 10x worse than Windows was back in the day. A lot of things are tied to Google so closely it will be impossible to replace (Android Auto for example).

  • Yeah, I have zero experience with 3D printing and all this so for me it's always a too big of a project. Maybe one day I have a bit more time and can get to it

    I hope you didn’t throw out the priv and key. In working order they are ~€150 each on ebay.

    I did but all of them had some hardware issues. Still, if I knew I can use them for other projects I would just kept them in some box but I realized it after I got rid of them.

  • Where did you get the keyboard? I had a Q10 (and Priv, and Key) but I'm an idiot and I always throw the phones away weeks before discovering their parts may still be useful.

    Are you able to use it with a case?

  • With Induction Stoves, Chefs Discover a Foolproof Path to Perfection | From Michelin kitchens to home wok burners, induction delivers consistency that gas can’t match

    Jump

  • I literally stopped eating anything from gas after I got my induction stove. I was invited couple of times for dinner by friends who consider them foodies but since I know they use gas I just pass. Once you go induction you don't go back.

    With gas you may think the result is good but it really just more or less where it should be. With induction it takes a little bit of practice but you can repeatedly make it absolutely perfect. Yes, it's more difficult to cook on induction and I get it that some people simply don't have necessary skills but good cook + induction will always beat gas stove. Once I got used to it I could always tell when something was made on gas. It got to the point for me that I just as what type of stove restaurant uses and if it's gas I simply walk out and go to a different place. One with induction stove of course.

  • You're actually using one? I saw similar project (or this one) some time ago. I also found BB10 keyboards modified to just act as USB keyboard and even tried to buy one but the supply was very limited and they would be gone in a matter of hours. And I have zero experience with JLCPCBs. And all phones are so big now that attaching extra keyboard to them wouldn't be that practical. I would kill for a modern N900 type phone.
