Yes. I have been daily driving one for almost 2 years. No it's not as polished as an iPhone of Samsung, but it also doesn't have the backing and history those phones have. In the t…

This is exactly how tradesmen and craftsmen use their hands. I guess they don’t teach this at university :D

I’ve been daily driving Linux Mint for about 4 years. It’s usable and stable with standard software packages and can also be tweaked in the Linux way if you so need it. Another per…

I’ve never used a palm pilot, but I do have a Furi FLX1. If you don’t run the android container in it, then you aren’t exposed to the duopoly. It works as a phone. It works for doc…

Sounds like you have a rule match to auto forward on certain criteria. Have you checked your rules?

I thought the same originally. Then after speaking with the online chat and realising Wayne was a Queenslander, I bought one. There’s enough people in the Matrix and Telegram chann…

Yeah it is. I have the Signal app installed in Android, but I only use it to initiate the Signal setup. Then use the desktop flatpak in FuriOS as my daily driver. You can change th…

There’s a flatpak signal that works great in FuriOS too

Yep. Been daily driving since September. I love it. No DP Alt mode.

FLX1 is fast. It’s useful. It has regular updates that improve experience. Battery lasts 1.5 days with moderate usage.

This was the basis of how FuriLabs managed to get such good Android app integration. Obviously they’ve forked it [0] and heavily modified it, but the user experience they’ve create…

Look on the bright side. Locking bootloaders has the potential to break the duopoly by driving more people towards Linux phones or other unlocked devices. The more people that move…

Why not consider a smart phone that has good hardware, supports VoLTE and doesn't use Android or Apple? I've been daily driving a Furi FLX1 for over a month now. You can make it as…

> Maybe for pickups above some weight drivers should have to have a commercial driver's license, the one you need to drive a real truck. Like the rest of the world? Australia car l…

After looking what alternative mobile OSs lately, there seem to be a few around. The ones that have appealed to me so far are Ubuntu Touch, Mobian and FuriOS. I see there will be a…

I am curious about a couple of things to do with this project. Given the solar panels will cover about 30,000 acres of land [0], and a factory is being built to manufacture the pan…

The problem with long distance AC is the reactive power component caused by the capacitance, and the voltage rise caused by the Ferranti effect. The reactive component has signific…

Either a horticulturalist/permaculturist or an industrial electrician. Both are and will be required skills for the foreseeable future (next 200 years or so). Knowing how to grow f…

I use Home Assistant and a mixture of Z-wave and wifi devices. The way I choose wifi devices is by finding which ones can have Tasmota firmware flashed to them. For example, in Aus…

Metal-halide HID lamps are best for this purpose. They have the best colour rendition of all lighting and they come in different sizes and colour temperatures. My pick for a bright…

cplusplusfellow if your contacts transition to the likes of Signal [0], you can then message from phone or computer. They have software for Windows, Mac and Linux. [0] signal.org

16ms is just longer than one AC cycle at 60Hz and less than one AC cycle at 50Hz. I would has a guess that 16ms is the physical limit for most consumer hardware (and maybe commerci…

Thanks for that pointer. A fair comparison. I guess features like that depend on developers available time and the size of the communities too. My assumption would be the ProtonDB …

For the OP: > Um guys, maybe remove devices without wifi support from the “supported devices” list to make the list an actually useful resource? Open WRT relies on members of the c…

`ls` seems to have changed (unless ls has distro specific arguments). When I use `ls -r` I get reverse order. To get sub-directories, I have to use `ls -R`. I'm running Mint.
