which distro you using on the pinephone, xmrscott?

one moment, so so close

I gotta beat Bitcoin people and what not to first documented running cc node on a linux phone

kinghat: Manjaro w/ Plasma Mobile

good bot

on linux, what is the best GUI for interacting with github? On windows I used to use github desktop, which i guess isn't built for linux.. (i know i am lame for wanting a gui, blah blah) :)

GUI for git or github?

well, github uses git, so i suppose as long as it allow me to interact with git repos, that would be all, preferably dark mode UI or capatible with gnome dark themeing

Sublime has a git client sublimemerge.com

selsta: awesome, that might be a good place to start. thanks

FWIW I have found using git from the command line easier than GUIs.

selsta: thanks. i probably will just move to that, but i didn really like the UI, diff features, and what not of the github desktop app... i'll have to see how i replace the various aspects of that. There is a promising thread on compiliing it for linux, so i might even give that a shot if i find some time.

*did really like the UI...

rojiro, I always just bother the people on irc for help with git on cli

tbh didn't even know there was a gui

jwinterm: well when i was first understanding the overall git flow of branches and PRs and what not i think the cli was just confusing, but i am pretty sure i could switch to cli now just fine. the gui was a nice set of training wheels, but I also liked the merge conflict resolution UI and what not, it's a shame it isn't supported on linux by the github team

git reset --hard head

git -f all the things

;)

xmrscott[m]: heading over to lineageos to answer my question. I think it would be great to run something like that on pinephone. being able to run apks without a translation layer seems like what we would want for OSS mobile

rojiro: LineageOS is not fully FOSS FWIW.

You can run apks on Linux phones via Anbox

However the current state of Anbox is pretty buggy and painful to get running, apps aren't aware of sensors (e.g. gyroscope)

xmrscott[m]: yeah i think anbox support is lousy. i imagine there are a lot of android apis that need to be replaced, i think there is a project that has started to do that, I'd love to get more into this space, because it's absolutely essential that we build an open alternative ecosystem for mobile computing

Yeah, having only used the PinePhone for 5 hours I get the impression any notable adoption is probably a year off

Manjaro is still using alpha images (and it certainly feels like an alpha), Arch ARM still doesn't have a Plasma Mobile image out yet and won't for another month or so because of bugs. pmOS w/ Phosh was very sluggish (upwards of 8 second response latency when opening apps like Contacts)

I'm hopefuly the notably better HW on the Librem5 DDR4 vs DD3, something like 4-5x the GPU shaders, higher clocked CPU will translate to a reasonably quicker to respond phone

Oh yeah, another fun bug because why not. My SO called me as a test and l left my phone on the bed rather than respond, went to watch TV, and when I went past the bedroom 1.5 hours later, Manjaro was still ringing w/ an active call

Just to give an idea of how much of an alpha state certain things are right now

But I'll take it over using Google spyware, that's for sure. One of the few nice things about being locked down is that pretty much all missing functionality is right on my desktop; not likely I'm driving around a lot needing navigation, etc

xmrscott[m]: yes lock downs have changes the need for mobile a lot actually

XMR is first on the list. Priorities!

I am sort of sad we are in the gang we are.

Don't worry, we have CipherTrace on our side to list us again on exchanges!

Gotta love Dave

You know what would have been cool. If Kraken and Binance would have just had the calls to pull out of Australia all together

Especially if they were employing folk there/trading through entities there

*had the balls

Is Capitalizing Every Word Some Sort Of Fetish?

cheap marketing tricks 101

though i do think there is an existing AML compliance tool for Monero. it now means we are compliant

heh. I think some of the other exchanges ended up only removing xmr and one or two others, after determining that "ZEC, DASH, XVG, KMD" where not ... privacy coins

as much as I hate the term privacy coin, it was kind of insulting for those currencies to be considered one

so it's nice to have that rectified.

Just finished implementing Monero atomic swaps :D Repository is github.com/MerosCrypto/asmr if anyone wants to check it out

sarang ajs-mob sgp_ needmoney90 any of you guys want to hop on a jitsi just to chill?

others are obviously invited

Is jitsi just the go-to platform for the Monero community?

Alas, I am working outdoors today; not conducive to video/voice chat

sarang: bro it's perfect

kayabaNerve: probably

the best mix of multi people, FOSS, and stuff

Good to know

One of these days we'll open a virtual coffee shop on VRChat or something

Unless you also offer virtual diet coke, I may hold off :P

Jokes aside, it actually would be nice to get a virtual coffee shop. A place where you can be social just while you live.

Eh. While you work, to be more specific.

xmrscott[m]: join me? :(

I'm working and I'm lonely

paste jitsi noob

back to work!

kayabaNerve: do you have to pay $5 for mediocre coffee at your virtual coffee shop?

dsc_:

sarang: Not if you don't drink coffee :P

rehrar: Mind if I check what a Monero Jitsi is like?

What kind of nutso statement is that

sure come in

One that someone likes soda would say :P

*who likes

I want the coffee shop, not the coffeee

Talking of communities and virtual events, I was at an event hosted on the remo.co platform today. Worked really well

join us midipoet

I used an event by hopin which was also pretty nice. Joining shortly :)

rehrar: I was tempted, but am getting into bed..

I suppose I could join from bed

as you wish

do I have to put pants on?

of course not

<cankerwort> Hey xmrscott have you tried out GrapheneOS as a FOSS mobile solution?

<cankerwort> Restricted to Pixels, but a very good option

No, very wary of HW that's specifically developed by Google. There's bound to be some HW level spyware that phones home somehow

lol, or even accidentially

But my very large tinfoil hat could cause bias

Apparently one of their home speaker devices had a problem where they did constant recording due to some fabric they put on top...

Ah yes, I remember that

The only smart listening/speaker I would consider putting in my house would be the Mycroft MK2/MK3 whenever they ship

xmrscott[m]: I have no confidence those will ever ship

kayabaNerve: I mean it's certainly been in dev hell for the last 3 years or so. They seem to have direction again though given last month's update of receiving the 1st gen of protoboards for the current design

Maybe MKII will ship in a year, hopefully

I may be sour because of my preorder :P

BTC was 18k when I ordered it

I totally understand :)

I was more interested in the MKIII, and given the MKII looked liked it would reach it's funding goal, I figured I'd wait for the MKIII

Technically experimenting with MycroftAI though by means of Plasma Bigscreen

Very much would like the Mycroft MKII to ship though so I can actually recommend the dang thing to people who have Alexa/Siri in their home
