@jarbus Honestly, the pinebook pro if you're not doing more than a bit of terminal stuff

'Free Software is about empowerment.

When I was a student with little money, Linux enabled me to do interesting things with my cheap and old computer where the pre-installed software failed.

Since then, my whole education & many achievements would have been impossible had I not been able to experiment, learn, disassemble, reassemble, modify, tweak, and use #software the way I wanted.

This kind of #empowerment needs a strong lobby: the FSFE'

@ramob @Blort @lupyuen
You are reading it right. LoRa and LoRaWAN are designed for very small amounts of data, e.g. a thermometer sending a reading every 30 mins. I think there's a bit of overselling and hype going on.

#Briar might support LoRa, however the overall available bandwidth is so low that IM might be really impractical.

@frumble @bshah @plasmamobile Hi, I'm the guy who's working on this branch.

You've just named two of my pet peeves why I started working on this in the first place: (1) a missing, powerful podcast app that works everywhere (desktop, phone) and (2) syncing between all these form factors.

There's still an awful long way to go, but if I can keep finding the time and motivation to work on this, I definitely want to get there.

Well this is cool! Using the #reMarkable, I uploaded some PDFs of fillable #dnd character sheets.

I only have the name “Cudgel” written in, but experimenting, I can add multiple layers, and then hide or show layers.

So... infinitely re-usable sheets.

Don’t know if I can copy a layer’s content, and I can’t copy pages of a PDF, so need to do a little more experimenting.

Day 5 of the #100DaysToOffload 2021 Series:

Google's recent announcement that they're going to be limiting 3rd party access to Chrome APIs has me a little nervous. It's probably unfounded, but if it's not, serves me right.

Since there are 3GB replacement mainboards available now for the #pinephone I made a video on the process of replacing the board:
