"The Light Phone 3 is a revolutionary device -- not because of its feature set, AI, or next-gen hardware, but because it asks of you something no other smartphone does: to put it down." ~ https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-gave-up-my-iphone-for-a-dumbphone-with-no-apps-a-month-later-heres-my-take/

@btp DANG it looks so good. The dial for screen brightness and flashlight, the dedicated two-level shutter button (also opens the camera tool), the UI, it's just great.
But it also has 6GB of RAM (not sure why that much), no headphone jack, no [micro]SD -card slot, and is made in China (despite the high-ish price). If it were open-source, though, I would probably buy it anyway right now. #LightPhone #LightPhone3

@wraptile The idea is that it removes a lot of what makes a phone addicting.

@bryceac It's my go-to TUI texteditor nowadays. I like how it uses modern-day keyboard shortcuts instead of what Nano uses.
And hey, Micro is written in #Golang , my favorite 😃

OK, so I tried a few other Nvidia drivers. Not working. Actually briefly considered switching to a much cheaper laptop I have on hand, just to get away from Nvidia. But it's Lenovo (I try to avoid Chinese tech, for obvious reasons); might be worth it though.
I had just assumed that by buying a #System76 I could avoid compatibility issues, but... here we are. (To System76's credit, though, they're very up-front about their laptops using Nvidia GPUs.)

@royal I didn't think about storage. That makes sense.

@royal I do wish, however, that they said what to do to actually *fix* the screen locker, or gave an error code so you could look it up on a forum, or in a manpage/documentation.

@royal Huh, I think I've seen that before.
I love it when programmers put help instructions in an error message instead of just saying "something went wrong".

@codrusofathens @btp Ah that sounds nicer doesn't it 🙂

Probably #Nvidia / #Nouveau , as usual (Nvidia sucks >:( ). Gonna try some different Nvidia drivers, I guess. I'm a diehard #Wayland fan, though, so I'm sticking with Nouveau even if it means my session occasionally degrades and falls apart (and the inconsistent framerate... oof!) [if Nouveau is the only one that works, I mean.].
Usually when I use an official Nvidia driver, lots of stuff turns black and won't come back when I resume from suspend.

OK, something's wrong with my computer. I'm at a TTY (not PTS!) right now (i.e. Linux "fullscreen" console). Weird graphical things. My Sway Wayland compositor crashed, Zen browser is freezing and displayed garbled visuals, part of my mouse cursor turned pink for some reason, and this TTY keeps on getting weird small white lines on it (like 3x already).

@btp I liked Signal stories as a way of giving people light updates on my life without making it look demanding (stories don't cause notifications).

@laamaa That sounds awesome.

Sneak peek into something I've been working on for a while.
I'm not *quite* ready to try to publicize it, but here's a little bit. It's written in a custom programming language for a custom CPU ISA, running in an emulator I made. The game is currently about 15KiB.
