If you want, the T9 works fine but I spend more time with the QWERTY and Sundial pads. I thought the Sundial was dumb when they announced it but I use it the most now that I have it

I have the phone now. It’s pretty good. They are working through some initial bugs. I want to give it some time before I give a more thorough review but my first impressions are positive… more to come in awhile

I haven’t read Lolita but I just started reading Pale Fire by Nobokov so it’s funny you brought that up. I have heard about Lolita getting adopted by the very creeps it intends to rebuke. I’ll have to check out her podcast on it

This should be the top comment. Great interview and great podcast

If you’re curious they talk about it quite a bit here.

One of the reasons I felt comfortable pre-ordering is they’ve been really upfront about their limitations and why they made the choices they made. It’s definitely not for everyone but for me it seems like it solves a bunch of issues I have with smartphones (and dumbphones)

From what I understand It basically comes with their own version of lineageOS. I bought one so I’m going to get hands on with it soon if they keep their timeline

Sounds dumb but check craigslist

Dates in oatmeal. You’re welcome

My 2a was the best phone I’ve owned but this will prevent me from purhasing another

WinSCP is a Windows tool I use at work to send files between machines and I wish there was linux version. Programs like Dolphin are similar but I always manage to find something I can do in WinSCP that I can’t do in the linux alternatives

Edit: commenters just pointed out a bunch of potential solutions I wasn’t even aware of, so I’m probably just dumb please carry on

What is this? (so I can avoid it forever)

It’s entirely possible it’s user error on my part but I have not had the same issue with other distros. Only distros running KDE/Plasma seem to have the issue.

Any KDE super users could probably take one look at my setup and be like “oh, you just need to toggle the dooble-gonger and set flops to 9600” but I am far too dumb

i5 4690k (I think, can verify later)

EVGA GTX 1060 6GB

32GB RAM DDR3

I run most things fine but I always have problems with distros that use the KDE/Plasma desktop enviroment. I believe this is likely an issue with my configuration where it isn’t utilizing my video card or something and a smarter person would probably not have the same problem

I really love Ubuntu Studio but Plasma/KDE doesn’t seem to run well on my machine. Its the result of having old hardware and not having the expertise to figure out why it doesn’t run properly. If it weren’t for that I would use it.

Who likes any of them? Name me a state that isn’t dripping with blood. Name me a national leader who isn’t guilty.

I find KDE looks nicer but it always runs like shit on my machine. Skill issue probably

Yeah, maybe I’m just not smart enough but I always have the best luck with Debian/Ubuntu style distros. I’m glad Arch users are happy with Arch, it just doesn’t work for me

Oh fuck no… Samsung taught me to hate bloatware. Nothing is not even in the same league. The 2a came with an app to integrate other Nothing devices and an AI wallpaper generator. It also came with some software to integrate with the glyph interface that I actually liked.

Just an FYI, a lot of phones can now be debloated using Shizuku and Canta. Just search the right process for your phone

Pretty light on bloatware. I broke my Nothing 2A’s screen a couple months ago (it got ran over by a Camry) and I still miss it… I mean I still have it, and it still works but finding a cheap screen for it in the US is difficult

I use FOSS stuff and it ain’t perfect. I just personally can not longer tolerate all the ads and tracking
