hmm ook got sxmo running off sd card. wonder how to get this on emmc. investigating...
Hmm since #pinephone is useless as a phone, maybe I can turn it into a nixos or Linux box to ssh into my servers
Researching...

Welp. It's been a fun one Android. Once my phone breaks, I'm done having a phone, until I get a job that pays well so I can buy myself a Linux phone.
I know dumb phones still exist and I don't mind typing with the keypads but I'd rather have no phone than have a dumb phone
When that time comes that my last phone breaks, I will probably be the only Gen Z in the whole world who has no phone.
I recently got a #PinePhone (not the PinePhone Pro) as I wanted to experiment with some Android alternatives.
I installed #postmarketos on the microSD quite easily and got it running, exploring Linux on mobile right from the start.
First impressions are positive, but I noticed that postmarket runs very slowly on the PinePhone.
Does anyone know if it will run smootherbif I install it on the internal eMMC? (I’m asking before doing it because it’s not as easy as running it from the microSD.)
In the meantime, I must get an up-to-date OS onto my #PinePhone. As I've said in a few posts here, I've had it since 2020, but since then I've lacked the spoons to teach myself complicated new hacker skills. Including installing mobile OS, even on a device designed to make it easier.
Speaking of the PP, maybe a range of cheap DumbPhones could be based on that tech? A quick search on the #DumbPhone tag here shows a lot of interest, and on the same tag with an "s". How about it @pine64?

Catacomb's latest 1.3.0 release fixes an interesting issue:
Apparently on the PinePhone (Pro) when disabling `eg25-manager`, libinput generates a bunch of `XF86WakeUp` press/release events, ultimately ending up with the key permanently pressed. Since Catacomb supports multi-key bindings, it wouldn't trigger bindings anymore, since it only looked at the ones with `XF86WakeUp` active.
