@feudjais @postmarketOS @calebccff I mostly use my #OnePlus6 for browsing, hacking, podcasts, and XMPP calls and texting via #jmp.chat.
(The only things I use a different phone for are taking pictures and navigation)

the april blog post is out, ditching duckduckgo for mojeek. i've loved using this search engine for a few months now, and wanted to write about why i opted to use it in place of duckduckgo. https://hamblingreen.com/
@popey which inspired me to write the patch for "mimic1" (flite) to enable pitch selection via ssml tags.
@popey Why would anyone use the mac app store when `brew cask install $appname` is still the easiest way to get apps. (and brew has no GPLv3 bans)
@dimitrisk Personally, I'm more committed to XMPP, but if someone wanted to manage this project, it should be pretty easy: a library exists (https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-protocol-c). I'd be happy to give guidance and help test or code.
@dimitrisk ( @silence is an app for encrypting SMS's, so the wake up would be handled by the modem, which would work fine on a PinePhone)
@dimitrisk you should port https://silence.im to Linux Mobile. Could even run it in SXMO in sxmo_hook_tailtextlog.sh so the messages would be encrypted-at-rest.

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.
That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

@m1m0md Alpine Linux on laptop and postmarketOS (which is Alpine-based) on phone.
@interfluidity is it a meme to say we live in a republic, not a democracy?
The tyranny of the majority is still real, even if they feel legitimized by a better voting system.
@kim_harding @mike 👍 normies just want something that works and they can buy it today at a retail store. Shopping for free-software computers online or installing a different OS are just *not* things taught in a "How to use MS office" computer class.
@martijnbraam the missing capacitor?
@zudn If you're talking editing software, #Shotcut https://shotcut.org/ has served me well (the interface reminds me of the 2004-era iMovie)
@darius @mcc Not android, but still swipey: https://sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeKeyboard/sources
@hamblingreen or for $40 more, a used #OnePlus6 on ebay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/145030986570
@ariadne My iPod touch can't browse much of the internet due to never-to-be-updated certificates...
@JustineSmithies@fosstodon.org And I'm the swipe-typing guy, so sb_predictor.sh from https://sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeKeyboard/sources
