David Bowie’s Nipple Antennae

No, I setup a MacOS VM on my home Linux server using docker-osx which runs a bluebubbles server. It doesn’t use Matrix.

This is cool but I’m happy self hosting bluebubbles.

That appears to be running Android tho 😄 (granted Gingerbread, a very old version) but I don’t think that counts as a “dumb” phone haha

That blue is very nice!

Curious what do you have now?

Just wish modern devices still had easily removable back covers without needing pry tools and hair dryers.

Wow that does kinda look like a Gameboy Advance just with way more buttons!

Do you still use an iPhone? I switched to Android after 4 years with my iPhone 5 and still use Android today.

If I’m home, I use just one towel and keep using it for like a week or two. If I’m in a hotel, they usually have so many towels so I’ll use the whole variety and fresh ones each day. It’s nice, but too lazy to constantly be washing towels when I’m home lol.

Yep! Could even use the tiny outside display as a viewfinder!

This small form factor running Android would be very cool! Despite a small screen, it’d probably work well enough since you wouldn’t have a software keyboard taking up 50% of the screen real estate. The e-ink keyboard is a good compromise of having dynamic changing keys but still have the tactile feedback.

That little camera module looks like it actually took decent pics based on the sample on the wiki. Esp considering it’s from 2002.

Oh ya I remember wanting that one a lot! I think it was too expensive for me at the time, so ended up with the alias 2 but I envied anyone who had one of those.

It was such a joy to text on it!

Moto Razr in silver was my first phone ever! Loved the design of it!

I didn’t like Voyager initially, mostly because it felt weird having iOS style on my Android device. The Android theme didn’t seem that different too me either. But I’m actually using it now and think it works great and don’t even mind the iOS styling anymore either!

Just the thought of soggy cereal makes me gag!

I installed nameless on my 8t. It works well but Google Pay breaks occasionally with a “Device doesn’t meet security requirements”. On both instances, was able to fix with using a play integrity module but kinda annoying knowing it may not always be reliable.

Might regret it but I just ordered an S23 after trying it out at BestBuy. I saw that Samsung had a Black Friday deal for $200 off with trade-in of an old device. I have an old Galaxy S7 just sitting in a drawer and was amazed to see it on the list of accepted devices.

I’ve really been wanting a smaller phone as my OnePlus 8T gets really uncomfortable to hold after a while. Love everything about it except the size.

I also looked at the Pixel 8 but the S23 felt like the better choice with less compromises. Pixel 8 Pro is even bigger than my 8t, so no-go there.

Really wish the S23 was rootable (in US at least). That’s prob the biggest drawback for me. Will see if I can live without that.
