Does anybody here have experience with #SailfishOS on a @Fairphone #FP2? Specifically: how do you install new native apps? Via Jolla Store? Are there apps there for "popular" services, such as Telegram? (couldn't find anything, not even such store, in very quick look) How do Android apps work (for example: would OSMand be able to work properly, with location, routing and TTS engines?)

@SlowRain @tootbrute

I still have it - Sony #XperiaX running #SailfishOS. Good secondary/backup phone (esp with my Pixel2's battery issues) but doesn't support all the apps I need.

@SlowRain

For the hardware, it's difficult for me to say since I'm not using it as my main device. At least the battery life is good: https://mastodon.org.uk/@cybette/102401370128447505

For #SailfishOS support, @leszek has a great video here with some thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3aFCY33tSw

Based on what I've heard from people I know using Sony devices (running either Android or Sailfish), the general concensus is positive for build quality and longevity.

@purism Nicole and I (taking the photo) on a little Librem 5 Birch fabrication trip...

Found this pic from exactly 7 years ago. Total coincidence (Oct 26 is good day for cleaning I suppose).

Just some conference badges I found while cleaning up. Will be collecting a couple more before year's end!

Forgot to note last weekend's victory against #AlteredFates, a DLC scenario for #MansionsofMadness. This was our second attempt and we played 2 investigators each (so 4 total). I like the concept of having different timelines, but execution is a mixed bag.

New data on the evolution of plants and origin of species

There are over 500,000 plant species in the world today. They all evolved from a common ancestor. How this leap in biodiversity happened is still unclear. Researchers now present the results of a unique project on the evolution of plants. Using genetic data from 1,147 species the team created the most comprehensive evolutionary tree for green plants to date.

Time to install some more software on my Librem 5.

This is fun. :)
