From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn’t been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn’t appear to be particularly active on that product.

I never had any issues with my 5 and multitouch. Also, the battery was incredible.

It’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I can’t access that (Reddit blocked in DNS), care to summarise?

I had no idea! That’s mental.

Self host RustDesk if you need an alternative.

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn’t an OS. It’s a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.

Yep, I check the background apps fairly regularly ('cause I’m paranoid about this battery). I’m on 14 already, strangely, I did notice a difference for the first couple of days - but back to draining quickly after that. I use Firefox as my default browser too (with ublock, yes) - I don’t browse on my phone a lot.

I took my phone off charge (100%) at 17:30 last night, used WhatsApp to text some friends off and on (like, 10-20 messages total) for the next 3-4 hours and it was at 50% by 22:00, I was not using my phone, I was watching TV. It went into DnD at 22:00, and then when I got up at 07:00 it was at 25%.

So that’s 75% with very light usage, with DnD for ~9 hours, in just over 12 hours.

7a here and the battery is the worst out of any phone I’ve ever had. Like, I’ve seen it go from 100% to 66% in 3-4 hours when it’s not even in-use. I’ve actively told people not to buy this phone because of it. Which is ridiculous, as it’s a decent phone. I had a 5 before this and was getting days out of it still (after 2.5-3 years)

This posts sounds like you’ve been aware of your options and never done anything about it, then decided to blame Google?

Apps like Signal and WhatsApp encrypt their data purposefully so that Google (or any other actor) cannot read it. This is why backups for them need to be managed separetely.

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.

7a battery life seems to have improved somewhat.

This guy comes across as a bit of a nut. I don’t doubt the situations he lists, but saying things like “the whole of Azure was hacked” when it specifically was that an engineer’s auth cert was captured with malware to access M365 emails just screams panic merchant.
