| <midfavila> | in that role the uconsole is excellent |
| <riteo> | yet with no suspend and no hw decode |
| <midfavila> | yeah the suspend thing is a problem admittedly |
| <riteo> | which are two things which are going to eat through your battery |
| <midfavila> | hw decode, i don't consider a major issue |
| <riteo> | also, you're still going to make your own little bespoke de which is not trivial as modems are a PAIN to handle |
| <midfavila> | don't watch the entire lord of the rings trilogy on the r01 when ur on the plane or something |
| <midfavila> | riteo no theyre not? |
| <riteo> | uh. maybe I never tried the native linux APIs |
| <riteo> | I had to endure modemmanager on the pinephone and it was pain |
| <midfavila> | i wrote a script that used devfs to push the modem in my toughbook around |
| <midfavila> | no modemmanager or networkmanager |
| <midfavila> | just devfs, ifconfig et al, and posix shell |
| <riteo> | uh |
| <riteo> | nevermind then |
| <riteo> | uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh then it doesn't sound that hard to have a nice and tidy minimal system? |
| <midfavila> | ye its not |
| <midfavila> | i found a libpurple plugin for SMS/MMS from librem |
| <midfavila> | so that can hook into finch |
| <midfavila> | which provides access to irc/xmpp/telegram/discord/etc |
| <midfavila> | and contacts management |
| <riteo> | ohhhhh nice |
| <riteo> | I'm kinda worried about the usability of the telegram/discord stuff |
| <midfavila> | moc for a nice simple menu-based music player |
| <midfavila> | honestly its pretty okay |
| <riteo> | I tried some CLI clients for telegram but they were just painful for anything non-strictly text (obviously) |
| <midfavila> | no images ofc at least not inline but for just IM it's perfectly usable |
| <midfavila> | i use pidgin/finch pretty much exclusively for telegram |
| <riteo> | do you use telegram a lot? |
| <midfavila> | yeb |
| <midfavila> | unfortunately |
| <riteo> | because personally even just opening a sticker to see what it is was pain |
| <riteo> | yeah same |
| <midfavila> | pidgin can do inline stickers with tdlib-purple |
| <midfavila> | including animated ones |
| <riteo> | ohhhh |
| <riteo> | reactions? |
| <midfavila> | shows up as an inline message |
| <midfavila> | "X reacted to (message) with :thing:" |
| <riteo> | uh I should take another look |
| <midfavila> | yes you should |
| <riteo> | I mean I have telegram-desktop which is very optimized actually |
| <midfavila> | https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple |
| <riteo> | flatpaked :( but very optimized |
| <riteo> | surprisingly it's qt based |
| <riteo> | no electron shit |
| <midfavila> | pidgin uses like 30-50mb at rest |
| <midfavila> | including with tdlib-purple |
| <midfavila> | :P |
| <riteo> | yeah obvs pidgin is lighter lol |
