On not wearing headphones in public places in c/curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works
[–] 3 points 1 year ago

The issue is not the free headphones that aren't there, it's that people think having no headphones is an excuse to create an acousting hellscape for everyone around them.

We can only solve that issue by telling people all the time until they stop doing it. It seems the reason it's happening more and more is just because many others wear headphones and stare at their phones and no longer observe their surroundings. Strange times.

    Not really the point, it costs, people need to buy it, not doing it is easier.

    My wired headphones (Sony MH410c) cost me three euros. But those were often included when buying a Sony phone. A decade ago you automatically had headphones when buying a phone.

    Still doesn't make it alright, but it's let's accessible now and I can see that leading to a societal change.

    Follow-up Two: Mobian on the Pixel 3a / 3a XL (lemmy.sdf.org)
     

    This is a follow-up to my earlier posts:

    We're Getting Closer.

    It's just small stuff left that needs a bit of piecing together, though I've now been daily driving my port for the past two weeks already.

    This Works

    • booting
    • display
    • touch
    • modem <- You might have to switch to the other slot if it does not work: mmcli -m 0 --set-primary-sim-slot=1, options are 1 or 2. Note that the modem could also be a different number, maybe try -m 1 if it is not found as the command will reboot the modem and then it changes.

    • call audio
    • vibration
    • Bluetooth™
    • full disk encryption
    • eSIM (I'm working on the packaging for the tool you need to provision it)
    • SMS
    • audio (ALSA config not packaged, but can be added manually)
    • camera (have taken a few photos, but the kernel driver is still work in progress and sometimes it just does not work)

    This Has An Unknown Status

    • Fingerprint Sensor
    • NFC (should work, does so on pmOS)

    This Does Not Work Yet (Soon™)

    • GPS
    • USB host mode (no Kernel support yet, but apparently this is being worked on)
    • Verified Boot (first need to do research whether this is actually feasible)

    This Is Missing And Will Come Later

    • accelerometer
    • magnetometer
    • ambient light sensor
    • barometer

    Project Status

    To Do List

    Done List

    Misc Issues

    • ALSA config for the device has not been upstreamed yet
    • Issues with 5 GHz wifi
      • Can be worked around by forcing the phone to only use the 2.4 GHz band, for example using nmtui, the network settings of GNOME/Phosh are bit too simplistic for that
    • No idea how to get the call audio on Bluetooth, meaning you will have to hold the phone or use a cable, for now

    (This is a non-exhaustive list)

    Low Priority

    Other than that... Everything should be there. It's definitely usable already.

    Just a few smaller quirks to iron out and two packages to get into the repo.

    Thanks For All The Fish

    Huge thanks to be sdm670-linux project and flamingradian who runs the project (just one person!) to make sure the Kernel works on those devices! :)

    I don’t know how Kernel development works, so I would have never started porting without this project.

    Find that here: https://gitlab.com/sdm670-mainline/linux

    Questions Accepted / Ask Me Anything About The Project

    I will gladly answer all questions, I hope that more people will start porting if it becomes clear that this is not arcane magic. It’s mostly just arcane. And a community of friendly people that try to be helpful.#
