@PINE64 Other (I think ordinary) wear and tear from infrequent opening would be the clip closest to the dip switches starting to wear both frame-side and back plate side. So maybe a third thumbnail slot in that corner as well... at that point might as well put one in each corner.

Anyone else crack their #pinephone back plate like this?
Maybe this is from dropping it and/or opening it too much.
I think the design could be fixed if @PINE64 made a backplate that had thumbnail slots on both sides.

The CADT model of software design: just rewrite it!
Note that I do encourage (on the consumer's part) fixing bugs over reporting them, but I covet stability from maintainers.

You can find my #eggnog #recipe live at gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/recipe/eggnog.gmi

Made my own recipe for #eggnog tonight. (Rather than following some recipe online).
"Try not to curdle the eggnog. After you've curdled it, blend until consistent." 😅 If it's any good, maybe I'll share it.

Today, I learned how to leave a channel in #IRC: You just type /PART

Also, does anybody else like the #ranger alternative #lf? I'm tired of being all alone in #lf at oftc.net (occasionally, someone will join, message, and part while I'm away).

Checking out a cool open source project, I notice the author's email domain is unfamiliar.

Posted an update on gemini, featuring #wvkbd #swipeGuess #suggPicker and other such #SXMO #mobilelinux developments.

I usually publish an update on my gemini capsule on the 22nd each month, but it'll be late this month. Exciting stuff though with a wvkbd and work on suggpicker: a new suggestions selector to complement the keyboard.

Saw this comment about #gnome4 #adwaita theme flat design that rings true:

> changing buttons to be plain icons means removing crucially important contrast between elements and weakening visual cues to the user that things are clickable. In effect it makes it harder for the brain to “parse” the interface the person is looking at and leads to users having a harder time navigating the interface

(Personally, I think icon-only buttons are a necessary evil for mobile)
