To anyone interested in the #Pinephone, or even the #Librem5 and #Linux #smartphones in general, we owe a huge debt of gratitude imo to #Megi.

He's not employed to do this, but donates hundreds of his own personal hours helping to get the hardware working, increase battery life (over and over) and generally make a huge amount of the smartphone progress we've seen, happen.

I'm personally extremely grateful and encourage everyone to donate at the bottom of his page here:

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

A lot has changed in our latest #beta with #phosh on @ManjaroLinuxARM for your #pinephone. Get it now: https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/phosh/releases/tag/beta10

'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'

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

Remote Control with #LoRa ... Up to 40 km range at 900 MHz

@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.

Filing taxes: 30 min.

Panic attack because you're terrified of doing it wrong and being labeled a fraud and having your life destroyed like the many others who have been crushed by the Dutch Tax Authority and years later still live with systemic debt oh fuck idk *wheeze* take all my money omg please just leave me alone: 2 hours.

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.

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.
