So I got a package delivered today, several days earlier than expected. The item was enclosed in cardboard surrounded by more cardboard wrapped in an enigmatic bubblewrap inside a mysterious padded envelope.

Upon the conclusion this matryoshka-doll experience which was fun I was greeted with a #PineBookPro from @PINE64 which was lovely!

Heh...

So I went to the farm today and had my #PinePhone running #Mobian and #PineBookPro running #Armbian with with me and thought I'd see if I could figure out USB tethering...

Well I turned on my computer, plugged the phone into the USB port and, well...connected!

No tapping through layers of menus like my old #android phone, no messing with any settings on my computer...well that was easy!

This is like the Garden of "just works" Eden except without the walls

Fluffychat supports encryption enabled @matrixdotorg@twitter.com on the @thepine64@twitter.com pinephone when installed via flatpak on pmOS! I no longer have to suffer WeeChat on my mobile as it was ok for desktop but was a pain on the go! 😍

The #gnome and #sway editions of @ManjaroARM are part of the official releases from now on, and as such are also available for more types of supported devices…

#ManjaroARM now boots on the #quartz64 from @PINE64 !!

Thanks to all the developers working on its #uboot and #kernel support!

Are there any #Manjaro
and #Gnome
fans here? ;)

#Freenode meltdown continues.

Looks like Nickserv/Chanserv nicks were not blocked by the new Freenode staff, *and* one of them had their own bot signed in as Nickserv, thus potentially getting users' passwords:

/thanks @tomasino

The #ansible IRC channel on #Freenode has been taken over by Freenode staff. They have changed the topic and removed Ansible staff from the access list.

The Ansible community no longer controls the channel and we encourage everyone to join us on #liberachat instead.

Drop freenode and join xmpp.

The time is now! #xmpp

If you are an #IRC person and are using #freenode, here is why you might want to consider moving on to libera.chat or oftc.net.
