    Maybe I’m a cynic, but this feels like strange timing given some of the Diddy allegations and how Jay and bae might be implicated… I hope they’re not associated with the Diddy shit as this could very well backfire…

    edit - lol, okay. I suppose I didn’t clarify well enough - I was specifically speaking about Jay and Bae - like I was more curious if this wasn’t a publicity stunt. The backfiring comment was directed towards them - like it could make people curious ‘why now?’ type of thing…










  • Kdeconnect might be what you’re looking for notifications but I do agree that this might not be for you… The pictures are very saturated and colors can be not true to life. Like your boss will probably think ‘what was this taken on and why did they edit them to look like this’. Bt works okay… But 2.4ghz wifi messes it up. And calls are like ‘works a lot of the time but sometimes it doesn’t and sounds like dookie.’ I’ve had a policemen curse me out over the call quality… Murica

    My biggest issue with the pinephone is folks getting a pinephone expecting a smooth experience… It’s a dev phone and not for normal use. Does that mean it can be daily driven? Yes it can but you better be willing to put in work… Like I had an install over a year old, but I was messing around trying to get winedive to work and ended up borking the install.

    If you want to daily drive a pinephone, expect carrying batteries and expect mucking about to get things to work most of the time …


  • texts are reliable. calls can be wonky but i always used gvoice (i know satan) to manage my calls reliably. camera… i’m going to be biased … i love the aesthetic but i would be remiss to ignore they arent the standard experience. for work no… for art yes! i love my pinetime and it worked great with my pinephone and android phone.

    edit - there are xmmp and voip clients. i prefer maftrix which works great

    fuck double edit- i need to mention i was on community modem firmware and changed my aspd. which was some work to get to work but had volte working reliably





  • It’s part of my career to review white papers. Mostly from the FDA food guidelines but I do enjoy reading white papers. Cuts the bias if I can go through the methodology and data set. I have a chemistry degree with an interest in computational science, inorganic and polymer. I’m on some regulatory review team at work as well…

    I really didn’t want to come off so anti vax… not my intent, like i’m going to get it I just wanted more info which I haven’t seen yet.


  • To preface this, I’m totally for vaccines and have convinced others to get the COVID shot…

    Two things… I haven’t found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like ‘its the best we got but local variants will persist.’ And my hesitation is that when ever I got my COVID vax and boosters… It fucked me up bad. I was useless for three days each time. I don’t react well to medicine… I can’t take a full xyzal without loosing a day. I did catch COVID once and I realize most logical reason it wasn’t that bad was because of the shot, but in my past I never get the flu or any thing that bad. Like I get sniffles at worse … so I guess I’m wondering/hoping I don’t need the shot… I couldn’t move those three days from the vax and I’m wondering if it’s another medication I’m overly sensitive to. But I will likely put up with loosing a weekend to try to consider others around me as I’m not sure how to prove or test that.

    I guess my point is I’m looking for more data to make a good decision here.

    edit - I’m confused by the downvotes… I’m getting the shot, I just want more info and yet have been provided anything but downvote or general information about covid. I’m asking data on the new vaccine but I don’t want to seem to come off combative… like I’m for it lol shrugs
