@hamblingreen Hey! So all my content is exclusively on peertube, self hosted blog, sourcehut, pleroma, etc. I am a militant advocate for free network services where most people would be inclined to "go where the people are". I would never support proprietary network services because of these frontends.

That being said: any step towards freedom is good. There's a huge amount of howto info on youtube and if it's not CC-BY/CC-BY-SA (to upload to peertube), youtube is our only choice.

@tagomago I used to use privacy redirect. iirc, this program is a fork of privacy redirect that supports more frontends, will redirect if the instance is offline, etc. I love the redirect feature since it encourages enabling multiple instances.

Im so grateful for all the Free software frontends to proprietary platforms. This addon is useful for accessing them automatically:

I cant decide between

https://birdnetpi.com/
or
https://github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast

to install on my raspberry pi.

@icedquinn @ryanleesipes Notmuch is nice. I used muchsync to sync my notmuch tags. However, I also used to use an Android and syncing tags doesnt really work there. Even though the tag system is much better, it doesnt really work well with multidevice setups. I switched over to mu4e cause it uses imap folders which inherently sync easily.

@ryanleesipes Ah, Ill see if it fits my use case with the new responsive interface. Making a user interface more "mobile friendly" doesnt only help mobile users. Sometimes Ill make a window small width-wise and programs that adapt well to small width cause of mobile enhancements (ie. dino) are much more enjoyable to use.

I like mu/mu4e cause it's a really good indexer and searcher with good cli search utilities. Being able to use emacs to send emails is also a big bonus.

@ryanleesipes i use mu4e on the desktop and neomutt on mobile devices running postmarketos.

Any plans to have an adaptive interface for mobile devices in thunderbird? I dont like explaining my neomutt setup around normies =p.

@vitali64sur It depends on whether you have a t-mobile version according to the wiki.

I recently started daily driving Sxmo on the poco f1. You can read about my experience here:

The fsf just published my talk at #libreplanet 2022:

Check it out!

@vitali64sur hahah, the plan was to develop sxmo-utils which is a set of coreutils for mobile devices. I guess it's not accurate to call Sxmo an os.

@aryak @vitali64sur No idea. You might want to ask in #postmarketos-offtopic on OFTC irc network.

@aryak @vitali64sur The poco f1 recently gained calling support https://yewtu.be/watch?v=KtfTJbLiYfg

I just installed osboot, a freedom-respecting boot firmware on my x230 without any external flasher. I had issues with getting the external flasher to work but it’s possible to put the linux kernel in your chips. Huge thanks to @libreleah for this amazing project and helping me getting it working.

@bacardi55 @jan_wagemakers Thank you for attending! I appreciate it.

@novimatrem Thanks for writing this! It works well on pipewire too.

@ChrisWere I like opus cause it's free as in freedom. Is there an rss feed for the podcast?

@brecht gopass is what I use! It allows me to ssh in and get otp.

I will be giving a talk at Libreplanet 2022 about mobile freedom via Sxmo:
