Note that the current UBPorts edition of the PinePhone cannot be used with external screens due to a hardware bug (you can fix it if you’re handy with a solder). The bug is reported as fixed in the upcoming postmarketOS edition of the phone. I’ll probably end up getting one of those as well since I’d like to be able to test on both distributions (one’s Debian/Ubuntu-based and the other Alpine + comes with Phosh) and follow their development.

If you missed yesterday’s live stream, we had a little WebSocket chat via Site.js running on a $150 PinePhone. You can watch the recording here – now with closed captions, chapters, and links to mentioned sites:

Yay home :)

My new mouse arrived (Logitech G502 Hero). It meets my expectations. Nice mouse.

So Signal is going to be uploading everyones contacts list onto their "cloud".
Apparently there's an opt-out option being worked on, but I don't think they're coming out at the same time.

Rather worrying coming from something that's supposed to be so privacy and security focused, but I can't say I'm shocked.
All centralised systems go this direction.
