I don’t own the pinebuds but the pinetime does have call answering. Now will it auto go to bt headphones… Phosh and plasma probably but not sure about sxmo

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

I loved all by pinephones… the og is much more reliable but the pro is significantly faster and more ‘usable’ in terms of ‘let me open something and i expect it to open like fairly soon.’ I owned and daily’d both at some point so ama?

Have you checked out this?

And like that the devs came thru… It’s back up (up to 1080p anyway… 4k still 403s)

It’s broken too fam … I’m in shambles

(Okay, actually, I’m fine… But it is annoying)

i 100% agree. i love eta primes dedication to optimizing his gaming experience. linux, windows, fringe handhelds… i love his ish -he’s always feels honest and genuine

I either get down voted or ignored for this… But you should check out beeper. It’s just matrix with bridges but makes the login procedure much easier for normies as it’s an email two way auth vs maintaining a key and password…

Kodi has a bunch o add-ons

Preyapp is partially open sourced. I’ve been using it for years. Works as needed and I have the free plan.

Unequivocally for me, team fortress 2 (fps)

Arm support 🤌

sorry friend… I quickly whipped it together in gimp, I believe, three computers ago :(

However, one thing worth noting… I had to buy the old domain to some website I ran in college. It was her email address… and I needed a code to submit the ID. She got crazy locked out of the account due to VPN use. Anyway so I bought the domain, set up a back up email and then submitted the ID. Cost me nothing as I was able to refund the domain in time. But damn it was a lot of work… but I’ve been runnin that account for like 10 years.

RIP lil homie :) (had to put her down recently but she was nearly 18 and well loved)

Uh, so… I may run a Facebook account for my dog… I was asked for a driver’s license. I made a shitty id for her…like with her picture thinking ‘well, this is it… May as well have fun.’

It was approved. Either the approver was like ‘fuck okay, bless you’ or it’s a shitty ai bot.

i’m torn… i could possibly welcome this… it is open source… 🤔

laughs in pinephone pro… the camera barely works and calls are abysmal
