I can relate. theres lots of cool projects around, but because it uses *something* as opposed to *something else*, all of a sudden, it doesnt fit the bill correctly
<midfavila>
that's my entire existence
<midfavila>
it's pain
<midfavila>
the uconsole is really close but mannnnn
<midfavila>
it's still not perfect
<midfavila>
the gpio situation is a mess
<sad_plan>
I can relate. I see so much cool shit, which would be soo close to be truly awesome, but no. they somehow ruined it by making some choice down the road..
<midfavila>
mmrh.
<sad_plan>

<midfavila>
yes
<midfavila>
i've made calls before
<midfavila>

you would need a headset or headphones with an inline mic
<midfavila>
but beyond that it's just a matter of echoing the relevant hayes commands into the modem
<midfavila>
with the cm4 you could use gnome software
<sad_plan>
awesome
<midfavila>
i've also gotten sms to work that way
<sad_plan>
I would be interested in a linux phone, but for those that ive know of, theyre rather awefull
<midfavila>
i'm working on getting librem's sms plugin for libpurple as well
<sad_plan>
cool
<midfavila>
yeb
<midfavila>
i'm hoping if i ever have time to learn hardware design i can modify the mainboard to be a little more...
<midfavila>
...practical
<midfavila>
tbf tho if you get a uconsole treat it like a pine64 device
