After going with Xiaomi devices for some years (with Gadgetbridge) I revived my trusty Pebble Time Steel only yesterday. This thing is 8 years old and doesn’t do heartrate but it still tracks my sleep more precise than any of Xiaomi’s devices ever did. Maybe you can find a device in good condition on eBay? Be sure to ask sellers for daylight pictures of the screen with settings menu or a bright watchface. If the battery is dying the screen looks like nacre cause it’s being lifted by the battery.
Exactly. The developer might open the source according to some reports in the past.
The developer of Connect said they might release it as FOSS app one day. That’ll be the day I reinstall it. For now I’m using Jerboa.
Hopefully Connect app on Android (Lemmy client). Also, if it ever happens, Redreader for Lemmy.
I recently got an Amazon Warehouse deal for a Moto G42 in decent condition for 158 Euros (incl. tax). I know this device has only 2 years official firmware support left but I put LineageOS on it and couldn’t be happier. I don’t need high end devices as long as I have a headphone jack, microsd slot and huge battery. Also my old and trusty Lenovo Thinkpad W530 from 2013 is still good enough for me with Linux. The only thing I don’t like is that I had to disable hyperthreading for security reasons cause it has a vulnerability and Lenovo won’t fix it anymore. But tbh I only notice a difference when compiling things and that doesn’t happen too often. I plan to use my devices until they’re broken beyond reparability.
I’m running LineageOS on a Moto G42. I bought this device with LOS in mind (also it is one of the very few devices with headphone jack and MicroSD slot). So far I’m happy. I always rooted/custom flashed every device since 2012. I’m no longer rooting anymore though. Shizuku is sufficient for my needs.
Damn, me too and I was in the same age.
I played with SuSE 6.2 for a while in 1999 but only really turned to Linux in 2001 with Mandrake Linux 8.0.
I can confirm. Have been using this with swipe library for a while now and it made me finally ditch gboard 👍
