I got audio working properly on my with Ubuntu Touch. Streaming video from my server is pretty smooth. I can't figure out how to rotate the screen in UT yet. Headphones work, but audio will play out of both the headphones and the speakers when you have them plugged in.

@vk@mamot.fr There is, but it's on another page. We need modifiers on the keyboard, like the Hacker's Keyboard on android. Binding the volume keys to meta and ctrl while in emacs could be useful too.

@farhan No, it's an app for OpenStreetMaps. It does look like the google maps icon though.

@jaycie Vim is a lot more usable than emacs on the pinephone right now. The Phosh build of PostMarketOS comes with Vim preinstalled. I was able to get emacs to open, but parts of the screen are cut off since it's an x11 program running under xwayland, which needs some work on phosh. I want a good way to use org mode with a touchscreen, which should be possible in the future.

using NoScript has really opened my eyes to how fucking garbage the modern web is.

something that should just be a static site with information about a UI framework? page is entirely blank unless i allow the domain in noscript.

update-initramfs said it failed but if I never reboot I won't have to deal with this :blobthinkingcool:

@MadestMadness oof, I do the same thing sometimes. Then I stay up all night trying to finish things.

Pixel #art source versus how it actually looked like on an arcade, television and early home computer CRTs.

90's PC displays had sharper pixels but still had a mild anti-aliasing effect that should not be ignored in emulation.

Note how the CRT hardware anti-aliasing effect creates the detail of a face on the skeleton's shield, where as the source looks like an incoherent blob of pixels - this was because the artist purposely designed the sprites for the final CRT render.

@djsundog I wonder if you could install a larger battery and make the case a bit thicker. It uses the same battery as a Samsung J7.
Apparently iPhone xs max screen protectors fit it perfectly. I was planning on getting some antiglare screen protectors cut out with a laser cutter if I needed to, but it looks like I won't have to.

And here's my fourth OS in just over 24 hours, Ubuntu Touch - so far, definitely the least frustrating experience of the four

that is not to say it is without frustrations, merely that they are lesser frustrations (why can't I set my time zone correctly) rather than greater frustrations (why does it keep turning off the display while I'm using it)
