@davidgerard Actually, yes, you should buy #OnePlus 6. It is very well supported phone by mainline kernel, and they are getting real cheap now. You may want to avoid anything newer than that :-).

@Natanox Should be OLED, yes. But no, I did not notice any burn-in.

Sailfish is non-free, so it is not on my lists.

OnePlus 6's biggest problem is that it is ... too big :-).

Gentle charging should be possible on #oneplus6. Currently experimenting with code at gitlab.com:tui/tui.git ofone/charger.py.

@xChaos @unterwasser Tech mozkovych bunek mu ubyva. Pred 6ti lety bych souhlasil.

Ale on si _opravdu_ mysli ze je stabilni genius, fakt mu udelala radost cena od FIFA, nepochopil test demence a nedokaze mluvit 5 minut k tematu, a ztratil se v mistnosti.

I had many phones. Some were good, some were bad, and some were meh. Siemens sl45i looked like good phone, but it was not, partly because they forgot to debug it. Ericsson t68i was nice (70? grams), bluetooth was improvement. Nokia 6230 was very nice phone (99 grams), Nokia 6230i was downgrade, and Ericsson K700i was not a good phone. UI was not great and it would not hold in one piece.

I had HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1). Having Linux inside was "cool" but it definitely was not good, and was not a phone. Nokia N900 was better, Linux worked a bit better, but still not a phone. And than it got ... worse? Motorola Droid 4 is better version of N900, but bigger again. Pine Phone, Librem 5, OnePlus 6 ... yes, each one is better computer, but neither is really a good phone.

And then I got Geeksphone Keon (Firefox OS). It runs Linux (kernel 3.4 or something), but rather old one, and is certainly not a good computer, but it started feeling as a phone, again. Reasonably battery life (few days), and it would actually fit into pockets I had available when riding horses. I liked that one. 120grams.

And now I have a new toy (actually few "new" toys, thanks!) that starts to feel like phone. Samsung S4 mini VE (110 grams) is really nice phone. Small enough and can last few days (with LineageOS), and with #postmarketos it seems to be pretty good computer, too. It runs mainline kernel, and most of the stuff mostly works (except cameras). Wow! Once again, I have phone I like (or four).

Samsung was not even too evil when creating the phone, so you can just hold buttons and enter bootloader. Certainly improvement from OnePlus 6, where I will likely never get rid of red errors during boot. There is a bit of evil in the details, that "VE" or "value edition" is important. That is i9195i, which is very, very different from "S4 mini" or i9195. Mainline support is very limited for i9195 -- you will not get touchscreen, for example.

Any help would be welcome. And if you have S4 mini you do not need, I may be able to use it.

@unterwasser To je vazne myslena predpoved, nebo... neco jineho? Jestli ano, jakou pravdepodobnost byste ji navrhnul?

USA neanektuji Gronsko, a vi to i ten "stabilni genius". Prezident USA ma hodne pravomoci, ale tohle sam udelat nemuze. A podporu nema. (A mozkove bunky uz skoro take ne).

Earlier today I learned that pip includes a bunch of telemetry data in the HTTP User-Agent header for every request it makes, and has for >10 years (with increasing amounts of info): https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/545eda389c41478e2f99d23212254d757d8c2cef/src/pip/_internal/network/session.py#L109
Not only is this not opt-in (as any telemetry should be), but there isn’t even an opt-out. I’m still shocked and not sure what conclusions to draw from this, except: This is not okay!

I remember there was quite an uproar when Go tried to add opt-out telemetry a while back, and rightly so. How did I never hear about Python doing this before? Sure, less details, but still sending telemetry without ever asking for consent.

I like #Python, I want to keep using it, but can I if core tooling ignores user consent like this? And what other key development tools (Python or otherwise) have things like that and I just haven’t noticed yet?

@etchedpixels @quixoticgeek I guess first step with Androids is to unlock your bootloader while your phone can still talk to required servers.

And next steps should be "bricking someone else's hardware is a crime" and "selling devices that depend on remote services for advertised functionality is not allowed".

@ozzelot Ja na sachach vidim jeste jeden "problem". Kdyz pocitac "prohrava" tak to "vzda", i kdyz by me klidne mohl porazit. To, ze "nema sanci" vidi on, ale kdyz ja to nevidim, tak ma cenu pockat si az udelam chybu...

@runefish You got sensor to work. That's still far away from nice sharp photos :-(.

@runefish "Should not be too difficult" are famous last words, but good luck :-). And a lot of work to get cameras working, I assume. But yes, Linux phones progressed a lot.

"Írán: Bezprecedentní výpadek internetu v Íránu, který nebyl vyřešen ani krátkodobým obnovením tzv. národního internetu, způsobil rozsáhlé narušení bankovnictví, obchodu i zásobování a uvrhl miliony lidí do vážných existenčních potíží. Ekonomické škody jsou odhadovány na desítky tisíc miliard rijálů." Na desítky tisíc miliard rijálů, coz bylo vcera asi tak 13Kc, a dneska je to neco kolem 70ti haleru? :-).
Jinak bych pouvazoval o uvadeni takovychhle cisel ve vedeckem zapisu, "zhruba 10^13 rijalu"... nebo mozna v dolarech :-).

@etchedpixels Ah, I see 6800 is fine. I was thinking about 6502. Bourne shell would be fun to fit there, no?

I mean, simple stuff like while (*dst++ = *src++) ; will be a lot of fun to compile for 6502...

@etchedpixels @sp Ok, clever, so it is doable without disallowing recursion or something like that. But penalty for running "normal" C code will still be high due to use of pointers, etc...?

@etchedpixels Yeah, my impression was that you can actually do C (and relocatable code) on 6800. I'm not too familiar with Z80.

@etchedpixels Wait... C on 6502... how? Stack is limited to 256 bytes, and there's no reasonable way to do local variables, AFAICT. So... how does that work (without 10x slowdown)?

@xChaos @janantos Tohle uz je na ... ja nevim, novy urad? Fakt je legalni prodavat takovouhle past? Nemela by zasahnout tajna sluzba? :-)

Jak se vodi kun? Na voditku kone vodit umim. Koni to nevadi, oba jsme spokojeny. Na volno s konem jit taky umim. Oba se musime soustredit, pamlsky mizi, ale dobry. Co s konem na ohlavce ale bez voditka? Muzu ho capnout u huby, a par kroku takhle ujdem, ale konovi je to nepohodlne, a zacne to davat najevo.

Jake jsou dalsi moznosti? Chytit ho za ucho? Za cuprinu? Polozit ruku na kohoutek a snazit se ho ridit tak?

Tak to vypada, ze na me uz rehta i Soson. Jako jo, ono to asi svadi, dostane povel, udela povel, ja reknu ze "jo", a nez mu pristane pamlsek v hubicce, ma skvelou sanci udelat 'hu hu'.
