People mimic what they see when there’s a perceived danger. I was just at the pharmacy picking up my wife’s meds, and every pharmacist was wearing a surgical mask (wish they were n95, but I’ll take it). There were about 10 of us in the lobby and only three folks did not have a mask. As the moments ticked by, 2 of them walked over and picked up one of the free masks and put them on. The next three people who walked in, upon seeing a room of masked people, also put masks on from the free box. You may not think you’re setting an example, but you are. Show yourself. Be the light.

on Halium/droidian/linux mobile

really need to write a blog post about this but summarising my thoughts for now:

* Droidian and other Halium based projects are not Linux mobile

* They shouldn't be carelessly compared with #postmarketOS/Mobian, they are much closer to Android in terms of tech stack/complexity/longevity

* Basically the WSL of #LinuxMobile

But, still good, still valuable for making your device more-free, and for the growing app ecosystem.

but i am slowly losing my mind every time i see someone describe a mediatek phone running a proprietary BSP as "real linux mobile" you are warping what little "brand recognition" this community has and it will reflect poorly on all of us when more light is shed on the underlying software stacks and long-term unmaintainable downstream hacks

@karpour WAP 2.0 i need to test.

WAP 1.x is special. (warning infodump)

WAP was designed to work over different bearers, SMS, USSP (those #123# numbers that show text), even rare DECT versions exist... and CSD aka modems. The last one became the standard till GPRS became a ting in networks as it had large data. However looking at the low amount of data that fits into a bearer and the low amount of memory in 1999 phones a solution had to be found

I always wanted a simple way to put the phone to silent mode when e.g. placing it on the table next to the 🛏️ . Since Biemster got NFC to work on the Oneplus 6/6T (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/blob/main/nxp_nci_i2c.py) we can leverage that and have feedbackd's profile adjusted when certain RFIDs are seen (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/154). For this to land we want to move the NFC support from a python script to s.th. like nfcd (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/pull/18#issuecomment-2653920089). Help on this would be appreciated.
