Reminder to #LinuxPhone users: Be kind!
We don't want to bum or even burn out the people that do the hard development work, right?

You should focus more on privacy and security and less on trying to cancel people you don't like.

I think you are saying that they should legalize under age tattoos?
Adventures with my pinephone.
The bad. I had one friend tell me yesterday that I sounded robotic on the phone. He is the first to say something like that, but it is something to pay attention to. Also, another friend texted me last night but I did not receive the texts until this morning.
The good. The I need a decent dual authentication app in order to leave my android at home. The only thing that I could find that works is a terminal one. Using @kyle's blog as a guide, I made one. Linux rules!

Is it irony that I get a 404 - page not found error when I go to that link?
I posted a question on the mobian forum in matrix regarding the lack of data on my phone. Within a couple of minutes I got an answer that sent me off in the right direction. 4+ hours on the phone with AT&T later, I have internet on my phone.
Support from the open source community is a whole lot better than AT&T.
Right now, the biggest problem that I have (and the one thing that could keep me from using it as a daily driver) is that I don't have internet while on mobile.
Wireless access works great, but I need to have data when I am out.

Call quality seems pretty good. I've not talked to a lot of people yet, but everyone that I talked seemed to come through clearly. My sister did mention that there was a lot of feedback wehen I had her on speakerphone. Once I got her off speaker, she said everything was good.
One problem that I have noticed is that the calls app does not associate the numbers that I have called with the contacts. All I see is the numbers that I have called.
Texting does not have this issue.

I received my pinephone yesterday! I am that much closer to a google free life. I am attempting to use the pinephone as a daily driver.
I probably won't do daily, but I will attempt to update on my thoughts on the pinephone and the mobian OS that I am using.

And from the Vice article that broke the story: "Among the thousands of other data points, vehicle location data is transmitted on a constant and near real time basis while the vehicle is operating." https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7adn9/car-location-data-telematics-us-military-ulysses-group

"Ulysses claims it can currently access more than 15 billion vehicle locations around the world every month, and it estimates that, by 2025, 100 percent of new cars will be connected and transmitting gigabytes of collectible data per hour." #privacy https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/03/one-company-wants-to-sell-the-feds-location-data-from-every-car-on-earth/

Are you an Android dev who cares about free speech and the Fediverse? Here’s how you can help:
Create an F-Droid build server and submission pipeline similar to fdroiddata.
Fork the F-Droid client app and call it something else. We need the ability to control the default repos, because we’re trying to make free speech software accessible to casual users. Installing F-Droid is difficult enough.
Support the development of @husky, a Pleroma client app.
Why go so far to fork F-Droid itself? Because the project is compromised by anti-free-speech activists:
F-Droid “statement” against free speech: https://f-droid.org/en/2019/07/16/statement.html
F-Droid banned Gab: https://reclaimthenet.org/f-droid-bans-gab-app
F-Droid banned Spinster: https://blog.alexgleason.me/fdroid-banned-spinster
We need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
There is currently no solution for a free speech app store, but we can change that.

Pager? Do those still exist?

That's why Rush called them regressives.
