Just successfully made my first phone call from #linuxmobile
This must have been how Marconi felt.

So proud of #YsgolGlantaf. Shame they're moving to #Instagram, but it's a small win I guess

Today I used a bash script for the first time. I didn't know what one was but needed to batch convert a bunch of videos via #ffmpeg.
Luckily somebody had a tiny script that did it, and all I had to do was save as .sh and execute.
Answer from 2013, still functional today! https://askubuntu.com/questions/351593/bulk-batch-convert-mp4-and-m4v-files-to-webm-via-command-line
Gotta love #OpenSource.

Fresh install of @npub1xxh…fdq9 on a OnePlus N10 5G. Hoping to make it my daily driver over the coming days....I am making a list of the niggles and aim to write a blog post about my experiences once I have bedded in.

The Wales #GreenInfrastructure forum has an online session on how to successfully create rain gardens, 19 September 10-11.
If you're interested in attending send me a DM and I'll pass on the contact details

Struggled to install #PostmarketOS on my OnePlus6, I think due to an android-tools issue. Then - to my delight - found that the #UbuntuTouch installer had it as one of the options and it worked perfectly.

Well...I've been threatening to write a blog post about why #LinuxPhones are better for kids than 'normal' ones, and I finally did it 😅

Questions for linux phone enthusiasts:
1. What's to stop Instagram etc creating apps for mobile linux? (In principle I mean, obviously there's no market yet)
2. Is it possible to set up phones with users, so (in principle) you could have a child as a user who can't install anything without the root password?
Thanks ahead of time (this is for my forthcoming blog post on the benefits of linux mobile for young people)

Got #Droidian running on my #Pixel6.
No calls or SMS, but quite impressed with a lot of the other functionality. Looking forward to playing with it and learning more. Thanks to everyone who has developed #MobileLinux and all the other bits that make it work.
I'm particularly interested as a parent with kids who will likely be getting phones in the next few years. I need to daily drive to convince myself it's the right option for them 👍

Do a search for '20mph' and it's obvious that a lot of English councils are also adopting this policy, sometimes just near a school, sometimes across whole swathes of their road network.
Funny that the press doesn't seem to be going big on this angle.

@npub1u3c…sqme How does the multi-column view work? I've looked in settings etc and it's not obvious to me (sorry!)

I was taken by this graphic of how 'seeds' of change can grow to cause huge changes; or can become squeezed or gobbled up by existing dominant structures.
Seems as though it could be describing the #Fediverse and #Mastodon right now!
All to play for ..... nothing less than wholesale change of existing dominant structures 😆 ✊

This morning I voted in the #NationalTrust elections online. I wouldn't normally have bothered but some of the candidates to the board were railing against 'woke', so I felt it was my civic duty to pick the most woke candidates I could find 🌈🏳️‍🌈
That quick vote sure is handy when you're pressed for time!

Love ❤️ how much 'real estate' I can get from a #firefox browser using compact view, Firefox OneBar (courtesy of @npub1edy…myfk) and a little tweak to get rid of forward/back buttons

Loving #pinetab2. Running smooth, enjoying videos, logseq. Firefox works well. Many thanks to @npub1q84…mdy5.
Ethernet fully functional with adapter. WiFi with dongle. At some point the internal WiFi will be enabled ✊

Working on my presentation to the #RTPI conference next week, and took some measurements to test my thesis about #greenInfrastructure (i.e. plants) having a measurable cooling effect. Temperatures are 'shade' temps
