Now we need an Arch tampon for the bleeding edge

In this context, I didn’t read it as “Mah-Tay”

My grampa used to say “you don’t have to be the first, you have to do it better than the others”

So what you’re saying to me is you can daily drive a Linux phone if you also daily drive a power bank, a bluetooth or wired headset and a camera?

It depends by what job you have: a plumber, for example, could probably run their business entirely with their phone.
But we’re missing the point, I’m not saying a smartphone can replace a PC, whether it be Linux, iOS or Android. I’m saying that If you need to do all the tasks that are required by a “modern day job” and you need to do them well, then I’m sorry (I really am) but Linux phones aren’t ready yet.

And most people aren’t running a business, so there’s that.

Most people don’t have the skill to troubleshoot a Linux phone, why don’t we count them too in the statistics?
Then, I used “running a business” as just an example to indicate the “urgency of a functioning phone” for whatever reason: it might just be that you have a relative you have to take care of, or that you are a doctor/nurse that can be contacted on every moment, or that you’re an a job hunt and cannot miss the call… I can go on for hours on why in A.D. 2024 a person from whichever social context cannot afford to be off the grid

I respond to you just because yours is the last of the “I daily drive a PinePhone” comments, but this is meant for everyone with the same opinion.

Do you, in all honesty, feel comfortable enough with your device that you would confidently run a business solely through it?
I’m not an influencer, so my job isn’t “taking pictures all the time”, but still I wouldn’t rely on a Linux phone to run my business because I cannot risk:

• to miss a phone call, a text or an email;
• to run out of battery if I’m outside my office all day long;
• to have a faulty GPS should I use a navigator to meet a client;
• that Bluetooth disconnects mid-call for the 5th time in a day while I’m driving;
• that I have to take a picture to collect information and the latest update borked the camera.

All of these things happen frequently on a Linux phone, and if you have a job where you can live through it good for you, I envy you TBH.
On the other hand, keep in mind that it’s not just the “Instagram people” that need a reliable device.

Getting laid

If we want this meme to be accurate, they all have to be dildos with just slightly different sizes and colors

It was a joke based on the fact that Canonical’s snaps are sort of a kink for some people and when some people with kinks have sex, they want their partner to slap them, so they ask in a polite way while they refer to said partner as “daddy”, so it was, more or less, a wordplay on how the words “snap” and “slap” sound similar…
IDK, dude I don’t even use Ubuntu, just try not to be the lobster in the picture ✌️

Yeah, snap me daddy

Funny enough it was Windows.
Year of our Lord 2015, Microsoft was pushing for Windows 10, I was using 7 and wanted to keep doing so. One of the last updates completely broke my system, so I said “fuck it”, backed up my files and installed Ubuntu.
From that moment on I gradually abandoned proprietary software at the point that today I live almost completely on FOSS.

While vanilla was promising, it always had that “school project” kind of vibe. Shattered, intead, is a full fledged, really polished game with active development.
Among the new features there are new sub-missions (with a new one in development right now), new enemies and bosses, a new playable character and re-balanced mechanics overall.
Stongly suggested, you can even find it on f-droid

About the calendar with CalDAV support, I always used the one that comes with my Zoho Mail free account and never had a problem with it.
To sync notes and todo.txt between devices, I use Syncthing, that is end to end encrypted and peer-to-peer, so there’s no need to rely on a centalized cloud or self-host.

No one is saying Shattered Pixel Dungeon?
Because I say Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
