Taste is all that ever matters.

Canadian Citizens and BC residents. Those are the tax authorities.

What a silly view. They do not live off grid. They live upon the sea. And share their work for free.

In Germany both Shift and Gigaset have had user replaceable batteries for over a decade. The rebrands like Volla and rePhone, obviously. The Finish Jolla has a new phone with battery, camera lenses, etc. Typing on a GS5 with Sailfish. Repair of display was easy to perform.

The exact 2 points I was itching to make. The political dice rolled some time ago ...

Is it just dark on the NA side if the pond? I still see it just fine...

Nice write-up! I was also a Suzuki fan (1980s) and always liked the stylized S logo. Now to go find a vinyl cutter.....

Bravo!

Ditto. It is practical and I am stubborn. Though I no longer run sendmail :-)

I'll agree as a 90% typist dev. There is a certain class of problems I've sovled for a dozen times. And as often forgotten. Mostly parsing. Recently, I had a local qwen just build data (from html) because I wanted to concentrate on the code that ingests it. Win win. In the end, I thought the python it used a bit verbose so I might return to it to flex some awk muscles, but in the moment, I could focus on the code I wanted to write.

Well, sometimes it's not a choice you have. I am arguably still a hobby programmer, but was forced by circumstance to go pro. I could not earn enough in graphic design to fix my teeth. Still managed to retain my love for the underlying mathematical (lambda calculs) and do to this day. I was always an enthusiast even as a manager. Now I do volunteer FOSS maint on numerous projects. Some embedded, most Linux phone adjacent. A circle.

I'm running SailfishOs on Gigasets assembled in Germany and they have G5. It's a port and I don't have android support at all. I maintain a number if apps and it feels like ownership. Also have a spare Jolla with droid stuff, but use that max once a week.

The safety contacts issue is legislated in Europe. Removing them is breaking the law, I believe. Can be done if you really want to hack.

Bluetooth support is for Jolla's android support. 5.2 for ports and waydroid is awayz out. My guess,18 months.
