True! I do though want one that works with Ubuntu Mobile too. Probably would end up being a Nexus 5.

@boby
Obviously mileage will vary I'm sure. I know my Bank's web app works great on mobile and Uber seemed to work with the playing around I did, but I stopped short of calling an actual ride because I didn't need one at that moment. I'll have to give it a try at some point.

@dallin
I keep going back and forth on doing this! But I continue to come back around to simply waiting for the Librem 5 to come out.

Just incase anyone is worried about app support on the upcoming @purism Librem 5 or @PINE64 PinePhone for services like Uber, your banking app, or many more, MANY of these services have fully functional web based apps you can use right on your web browser app!!

I'm really loving the "single column" Mastodon layout. If you haven't tried it out head to Preferences > Appearance and uncheck the 'enable advanced web interface'. :mastodon: ❤️

Same! And Best Buy rewards is not too bad too.

@dallin
Same! I don't use Amazon at all, try to shop at alternative brick and morters, and use eBay.

Filming a corporate video Tuesday with preproduction on Monday! Preproduction I'll use my Lenovo X220T with Elementary OS and LibreOffice. Filming I'll be using my Sony a6300 and various lights, lenses, stands etc. and Tascam DR60 MK2 and Sennheiser MKE600 mic. EDITING I'll be using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 on my Ubuntu 18.04 Workstation... I do work like this all the time AND DON'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT PROFESSIONAL VIDEO PRODUCTION IS NOT POSSIBLE ON LINUX!!!

Hallmark movies all use the same story - Change My Mind.

@dallin
I believe I may have already gotten my dad on board for the Librem 5!! I got him using DuckDuckGo but he uses an iPad and iPhone. 😔 Lol

I too subscribed to Librem One about a month ago and have made Librem Mail my primary email service!! I am TOTALLY pumped for the Librem 5 as well and can not wait to ditch my spy brick!!!

Finding good 9V rechargeable batteries is still surprisingly hard.

Trying out this Li-ion block, which can be charged via USB (which is neat!) and promises a capacity of 650mAh. I still have my doubts, but we'll see.
