Joshua Crawford has moved @jlcrawf@librem.one

Third is modem drops. Even while typing this thread, I lost internet connection and had to disable the modem and re-enable it to get it back.
There have been times that the modem showed connected but someone standing right beside me tried to call me and the call would not go through. Disabling and re-enabling the modem fixes the issue and I all of a sudden receive a bunch of texts then also.
Occasionally, the modem completely disappears and a full reboot is the only way to get it back.

Second is call quality. Again coming from the pinephonepro, call quality is amazing! I can have long conversations with people and they can understand me without hearing an echo of their own voice! That said, I have had complaints of crackling static on the other end (my end is clear). The crackling seems worse when I am driving, so there might be some interference generated by the car. Also, most people think that I have them on speaker phone even when I do not.

First the bad. I start with the bad because overall, I really love this phone.
Battery life. If you are coming from the pinephone like I am, it is great. If you are coming from any other phone, it is abismal. From what I understand, it is tremendously improved from even a couple of months ago, but it still has a long way to go.
#Librem5 #mobilelinux

I'm back. You probably didn't miss me, but I took an unplanned month long hiatus from the world. I did not read or watch the news nor did I read any social media.
Two unrelated things worked together to cause this. I started a new position at work that has kept me pretty busy. More importantly though, I finally got my #Librem5!!!!
Getting the Librem has been a lot of fun. I just today got around to installing tootle so that I can get on Mastodon. Following, will be my thoughts on the Librem.

@proycon
I work for an msp that now encourages it's clients to use 365.

@awai @mobian @RLetot @markgrieveson @jmondi @libcamera @fosdem @PINE64
It works!!!

@realcaseyrollins
Because nobody wants to work together. Teams wants you to only use Teams. Zoom wants you to only use Zoom. If the companies would use an open standard so that it didn't matter which one you used, we would already be there.

When I go to my profile, it does not have a join date, but when I scroll to the bottom of my posts these are my first posts.

@unabogie @malwaretech
I don't know where you think you see that but look again, I have had this account and have posts going back more than three years.

@malwaretech
Was Clinton homophobic when he instituted the policy?
I wasn't actually passing judgement one way or the other about the policy, it was just a very easy clear example of a policy that was once considered left wing that is now considered right wing.

@malwaretech
I did not say that I was left wing years ago. I would have been right leaning then also.

@malwaretech
In 1993 Clinton introduced the idea of "Don't ask, Don't tell" in the military. By 2010, it was repealed because it was "far right"

@unabogie @malwaretech
I have been here for years. I didn't jump on the bandwagon just because some billionaire is letting people that disagree with say things.

@malwaretech
I think that NPR panders to the far left, not because somebody told me they were, but because I have actually listened to them. I don't need a graph compiled by somebody that I don't know to tell me so.
As for being "far right," yes by today's standards, I would definitely be labeled that. However, somebody that leaned left 30 years ago would be considered far right today also.

@malwaretech
It would seem obvious to me that this very exchange shows that not only do I follow but I also try to interact with people outside of my thought bubble.
Perhaps, you should try to imagine a scenario, where someone that disagrees with you is not a stupid idiot.

@malwaretech
If only I was as great and smart as you. Unfortunately, I will just have to be stuck down here with the dumb masses.

@malwaretech
I don't actually watch fox. At this point almost nobody watches cnn. That does not take away the fact that they like msnbc pander to the far left. (so does abc, nbc, cbs, npr, and a bunch of others.) But even with so many places that pander to the left, they can't seem to stand that their is one that doesn't.

@malwaretech
I'm not crying about anything, just pointing out that the left has their places to go that panders to them just as much as fox panders to the right.

@malwaretech
As opposed to the geniuses on the left that get all their news from msnbc and cnn?
