It’s not left if I give it away. As soon as I wire it to, let’s say Red Cross*, it is not longer there.

*first thing that came to mind

The issue is not the free headphones that aren’t there, it’s that people think having no headphones is an excuse to create an acousting hellscape for everyone around them.

We can only solve that issue by telling people all the time until they stop doing it. It seems the reason it’s happening more and more is just because many others wear headphones and stare at their phones and no longer observe their surroundings. Strange times.

Not really the point, it costs, people need to buy it, not doing it is easier.

My wired headphones (Sony MH410c) cost me three euros. But those were often included when buying a Sony phone. A decade ago you automatically had headphones when buying a phone.

Still doesn’t make it alright, but it’s let’s accessible now and I can see that leading to a societal change.

I’ll donate it all. Nothing left, nothing to lose.

Update what?

Not much, the battery will just deplete quicker. Otherwise you only notice that phone calls make the phone ring. If it is suspended, it won’t ring. (for now)

Also, SailfishOS uses an Android kernel with libhybris, I want to use a mainline kernel to ensure I’ll get updates for a long time.

UFS == flash in this case, it’s where the phone stores OS, bootloader, user data and so on.

Could you please link to where you found that? Maybe that’s outdated info? Without the context I’m not sure what exactly is unreliable.

Phone calls work, but only if the phone is not suspended. Some people are working on letting the phone wake up when called. Haven’t followed the progress for a while. If you disable suspend, is works well, at least for me. Not sure whether others have noticed issues in different situations.

Oh and I’m currently working on mainlining the Xperia 10 III with the intention of porting Mobian. I got display, GPU, flashlight working, but am stuck at figuring out whether that phone has a bug that breaks it if I enable UFS support, like some Xperias has in the past. If anyone knows a way of veriying whether it is safe to turn on flash, that’d help a lot. I could then enable UFS, Wifi, Modem, GPS, and probably Bluetooth… all at once.

Just don’t want to find out whether it’ll break the hard way.

I’ll keep this up to date with my current progress: https://git.erebion.eu/forgejo/erebion/pdx213-temp

I’ve ported Mobian to the Pixel 3a and use it as a daily driver.

two annoyances:

• I’ve not yet figured out calls via Bluetooth, but other audio works fine, including XMPP calls via Dino [if anyone knows how to get calls working via Bluetooth, drop a comment and I’ll see if I can get it working]
• camera is buggy and does not work well yet (there are people working on that)

Here’s what I had posted on it around a year ago: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/22388672

I already have an invite flow that users will arrive at and go through when signing up, now I want to let users create invites for other users. That page does not mention anything about that. It seems to be about adding a flow that asks user for details such as an email address and then they get their account.

In my case users have already gone through that and want to invite someone else.

With invitations, you can either email an enrollment invitation URL to one or more specific recipients with pre-defined credentials, or you can email a URL to users, who can then log in and define their own credentials.

I already have enrollment invitation URLs. Just not automatically. I wrote a script that uses the API for that purpose.

The docs even mention this about the flow:

Enrollment (2 Stage)

Flow: right-click here and save the file.

Sign-up flow for new users, which prompts them for their username, email, password and name. No verification is done. Users are also immediately logged on after this flow.

Nope. Not what the question is about. This requires an admin user to create an invitation in the admin backend. I want a way to let users do that.

I doubt that. Signal has slow development, there aren’t new features all that often.

I just realised I did not link to my most recent post, but the one before it. This one is two months newer: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/22388672

This was the state three months ago. Quite a few things changed, I will definitely post an update once I find the time.

Curious how well existing Android devices with Linux support fare currently.

Better than the Pinephone. See my other post on this thread where I talk about my Mobian port to the Pixel 3a and click the link for some more detailed info on how well it works.

Oh and the Pinephone is just way too slow and the thermal design is not really good and it also does have issues in other parts of the hardware. It’s not a good phone, it’s a passable development device that easily allows to turn off things such as Bluetooth.

And… an old Android phone such as the Pixel 3a is just a lot cheaper and runs way faster with a far better battery life.

I’ve been recently porting Mobian to the Pixel 3a and posting about it here*. Now, Mobian is close to being ready, but is not yet. I’ve been using it as a daily driver for a few months now, but it is not what most people looking for a well-working phone would want, currently. If you want to try a well supported device now, I suggest trying postmarketOS on the Pixel 3a perhaps, they’re a bit quicker than I am, mostly because more people are working on it.

The Pixel 3a has recently been called one of the best supported Linux phones with a mainline kernel. Only issue right now is the camera not producing sharp photos, but they’re people working on the drivers in the kernel to improve on that.

Other than that, I don’t really know what’s well supported, as I focus on what I have available here.

* https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/19600671 Please note that this post is somewhat outdated and some of the issue are solved already.

And they’ve been working on it for years now. :)

I believe they’re working on it. :)

It uses a library which currently gets calls added, for example. Once that library supports calls, they can add it for Flare.
