It's awesome that you don't have to remember what software you're using underneath. I looked into it before I installed it, but I'd have to check which one I went with. I also have no idea what graphics card I'm using, which headset I'm using, what brand of eyeglass cleaner I'm using etc. I looked into it at the time, made a choice and promptly forgot about why and filled my brain with other things.

If I remembered which database I was running it means that I'd have enough problems with it that I'd look at it a lot.

They're slow and clunky as fuck for starters. Cellular is very spotty.

Do you have a good alternative I can look into? I really, really, really want them to work. The only usable Linux phone I've seen is Jolla, but I'd much rather have Mobian or Arch on mobile or some other fully FLOSS alternative

Merker jeg blir litt beroliget over at Frp ikke gjennomfører politikken de går til valg på. Selv om de hadde vært litt digg med mindre byråkrati.

This is so true, whenever a see something that's obviously never been touched by the design department and is mostly just text I feel safe, secure and trust it by default.

Anything with flashy graphics is doubt before they prove themselves trustworthy.

Which phone did you find where these are the only problem you encountered? I don't care about any of these things and haven't been finding any usable Linux phones.

Finally a reasonable way to do percentages! Thank you, I'm stealing this

Learning the form then forgetting the form is pretty normal in any discipline. First you learn how to do it, like how to punch, kick and block. Then you learn sequences and combinations. You learn these to perfection. When your body knows the moves you can start improvising and you need to forget the sequences and combinations in order to adapt.

Same goes for all art, applied science, most jobs, even social structures, economic models etc. First you learn the basics, then you learn the complex rules, when you master then you can break the rules and improve upon it.

Not a bad idea actually, thank you

Most of my friends don't check Facebook, they just use Messenger, but I'll do that too

I just this month realized that I really really really miss the ability to set a status like "On vacation, will reply on [date]. On Facebook Messenger I can set a status for at most 24 hours, anything beyond that is obviously not necessary.. I wanted to put a message telling people I don't use it anymore and yo contact me on [phone number]

I thought so too, but over the years I have migrated so much of my life away from apps in order to see if it's possible and apart from games I find that with a browser and an email client I don't really need apps. Still use apps though, they are way more convenient.

Banking is tedious without apps, but works with browser and an MFA-dongle in my country.

I have the PinePhone Pro in a drawer somewhere. It's just a fun toy, not even remotely usable as a daily driver. But I might have a look at it again and see how many tasks still remains before I could theoretically use Mobian as a daily driver.
