I'm in full support of this. Fuck these people.

Well, it's your choice, I don't give either company my money. I'd suggest switching to Linux and start pirating everything.

PinePhone vs PinePhone Pro: Which should I buy? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] gnutard@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I'm totally fine with tinkering. I honestly just want to use the phone for it's camera and nothing else. Even the PinePhone Pro has bad camera quality? I can setup my PineTime smart watch to answer calls and communicate via my PineBuds.

I just don't want to weird my boss out by pulling out an actual camera in order to take photos. Any pictures I take with the PinePhone Pro, I can just send to my laptop over Bluetooth and then text/email him the photos on there.

Thanks for your response! I have two more question. If I had a PinePhone connected to my GNU/Linux laptop via Bluetooth, could the PinePhone show calls I receive on my laptop without the phone needing WiFi? I would communicate by using my bluetooth headphones. I want to rely solely on Bluetooth for answering calls from my PinePhone, without needing Wi-Fi.

I'm basically asking if there's a way to make my laptop forward notifications to my PinePhone via Bluetooth?

Also, is the camera quality on the regular PinePhone good enough to send to my boss without it looking too bad?

I'm thinking about using the PineTime watch and connecting it to my GNU/Linux laptop via Bluetooth. I use Dino-IM for calls/texts on my laptop, wondering if there is a way to answer calls from my watch. I also bought the PineBuds to go along with it. If I can, great, I wouldn't even need a cell phone.

I honestly just love the killswitches. As for poor security, what do you mean by that? Would it not be safe for just texting / calling? I'm planning on using this phone for work.

I work in IT and need to be reliable via phone calls / texting, what's your experience? I use JMP.chat, so I would need to use some XMPP app that supports that. Texting / calling is all I do on my phone, I do everything else on my laptop. Also, how is the camera quality on the Pro? Is it good enough to send to a clear picture to my boss of something he wants to see? I ordered the PineTime watch too to go along with everything.

I'm wondering which is more free (as in freedom) so I can make the right choice. I've also heard people say the regular PinePhone is better than the Pro version. I am planning on using it as a daily driver. I understand it's not perfect yet, but I'm dedicated to make it work, I don't do much with my phone. I also just want to help support Linux-based phones and would like to see it become more popular in the future! I'm planning on dropping my Google Pixel w/ GrapheneOS for this.

It was more of a personal reflection for myself, rather than saying gaming is a waste of time universally. I see how you interpreted it that way, I should've phrased it a bit better.

Nice, can't even explain why you disagree. Thanks for proving my point.

Has anyone achieved using their laptop as their only device? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been trying to get rid of my cellphone for awhile now. I switched to JMP.chat, I have Pidgin set up to make calls/texts, etc.

I use Trisquel GNU/Linux on my Libreboot laptop, my boss is fine with it.

My strategy looks something like this:

  • Use earpiece that's connected via Bluetooth, have narrator software read out notifications (notifications from Microsoft Teams, Thunderbird, etc.)

  • Put laptop into sleep mode, maybe use a script to put it into a special sleep mode to make sure I'm connected to WiFi while walking around warehouse so I can receive calls/texts timely.

  • Forward all notifications from Teams to my email, so that I'm not relying on the web-based version to be open.

  • For travel on the road, I have a USB modem that's connected to my LibreCMC router. I also have my laptop set up in my car on a stand.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

How do I forward calls from JMP.chat number to SIM phone number? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I want to buy a flip phone to reduce distractions and am planning on getting rid of my Pixel. I currently have Cheogram installed on my Pixel and want to forward calls/texts to my SIM phone number. I'm not sure if the current flip phones support Cheogram well (due to the small screen), that's mainly why I want to setup call forwarding.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup an online computer store via YunoHost installed on my VPS. I'm okay with payments to be handled via a third party payment processor (who preferrably also has no JS, but I understand that is probably unlikely). I also have my domain up and running, so I'm ready to test whatever I can get.

TIA!

Windows XP loading screen / bootsplash? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello all,

I have a cool little project I'm doing for myself, I bought a ThinkPad T60 and I'm going to install Libreboot on it. I want it to be themed and look as close as possible to Windows XP. I plan on installing Trisquel and building Cinammon DE from source (they don't have it in the repositories), and then theming it from there. I'm wondering, can I change the bootsplash to the animated Windows XP loading screen?
