@Main_Tomato@uwu.social Clearly you’re a bot
@lunduke They just need to make Gecko Linux the official OpenSuse distro and poor additional resources into it.
Is someone @purism working on getting the Social app working in iPhone’s dark mode? I can’t see a single thing I’m typing without switching back to light mode.
@n0btc@mastodon.radio @protonmail I agree. This is a predatory article taking advantage of technologically unsavy users under the guise of protecting them.
@ChrisWere@linuxrocks.online Thank you for responding. I appreciate it.
@ChrisWere@linuxrocks.online @distrotube@mastodon.technology @lunduke I am switching from Android to iOS and need to know if there is an app to subscribe to YouTube channels and manage playlists without signing in to YouTube. I used Newpipe on Android and FreeTube on Linux. Anything similar for iPhone? Peertube and LBRY just haven't come far enough fast enough for me yet, but I hate being constantly tracked.
@lunduke Oh Captain! My Captain! What is the future of Linux phones and do community driven projects have a place in that future? I know much of the excitement is centered around the first shipment of Librem 5 phones, but as someone who has never been able to afford a new phone without paying a carrier for it through monthly installments, I can't help but feel excluded from this excitement. I want to believe the Pinephone is my answer, but can community built mobile operating systems deliver?

Wow, we did not expect the level of interest you all have had in the #PineTime!
More info:
- Cost will be approximately 25USD
- Charging dock included in price
- Built-in heartbeat monitor
- Case built of Zinc alloy and plastic
- Battery life measured in days
- Sorry, can't run Linux itself. SoC is nRF52832, which uses a Cortex-M4 core. That's why we need FreeRTOS :)
@tuxdevices @PINE64 I ask because this seems like a product that will be very dependent on software compatibility. Pine64 doesn't make a phone OS, just hardware. So I guess I'm asking, will there be compatible, companion apps coming for @ubports and @postmarketOS ? Will the various OS options support notifications?
@tuxdevices @PINE64 Honestly, one of my small hesitations about switching to a Linux phone was having to give up my Fitbit. Being able to still track my steps or heart rate on a Linux phone solves that problem completely. This is a fantastic idea! Can I assume it will support basic text notifications?
@lunduke Dude, where's my car?

The @PINE64 PinePhone is real! Here are some recent videos of it running:
postmarketOS + #PlasmaMobile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V711Iordo4
Ubports Ubuntu Touch: https://twitter.com/Mariogrip/status/1169049411231637505
🍣 #SailfishOS: https://vimeo.com/357952216
Even better performance to be expected once all these platforms, now at their earliest stage, are optimized enough.
@ubports @switchingsocial@mastodon.at Out of the short list of Ubuntu Touch (ubports) recommended phones, do any of them work well with Verizon? They are the only decent carrier where I live. I want to have a linux phone by Christmas and I don't know if the Pine Phone is going to work on Verizon. Big Red is notorious for not playing well with smaller phone makers.
