Uber and lyft do have web versions you can use to use the service, however app notification services and more detail stuff on the driver are not available like it is on the app versions.

As far as maps, i used this when i had ubuntu phone, it was pure maps running offline with osm scout server. I had to go on a browser to get the coordinates of where i wanted to go and input that on the puremaps. Its an extra step but once i saved the default locations it made it easier use.

Hows the experience with the phone? What have you noticed can be used and cant as far as app usage? (Ie games, social apps, etc)

Had a low end laptop, i believe it was lubuntu that i installed because i knew ubuntu was too bloated for that laptop. However I was not aware that it used snap and running firefox kick started the fans on that old laptop. Resouce hog seen and searching for firefox direct binary from apt seemed like a chore so i replaced with mint. Snaps automatically i did not want to deal with for old computers. Was happy with mints removal of snaps and it is very user friendly.

I like osmand because during several lanes it highlights the lane to go to. I noticed organic maps had something similar today when i tried it, though ill need to do more testing to see all the features.

I think organics maps has a a good clean ui. Improvement woukd definitley be compatibility when using the voice for navigation, a bit laggy but maybe ill need to adjust rhvoice. Also im seeing if it has the show the next turn on a small icon of some sort.

Osmand is good overall but it can get too cluttered real quick. Its been getting a bit slow but maybe some tweaks will help.

Also i have contributed to openstreetmaps especially toward small businesses to make it easier to find.

I dislike running, getting tired, hot and sweaty. However i love post workout feeling good, the moment its over for the day, the tension of my muslces after a workout, and a nice cold shower especially during summer heat. I also enjoy when i notice things have become easier after being consistent with my workouts, though i have to increase the difficulty its a nice fealing of progress. Sleep is getting better i just need my meals to be at a good direction to get the best out of myself.

How long have you had it? Have any cracks devoloped as time has passed with the keyboard case?

[–] Junkdata@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sounds good,

I have a pinephone pro, while you can use use it touch. I recommend either the keyboard case(since it has a battery) or having a portable bluetooth keyboard of some sort. If configurartion is needed and there are issues with the onscreen keyboard(happens when i use certain apps like bitwarden) the keyboard helps ease that issue.

I still use stock manjaro plasma but if i jump i might go to sway/plasma arch/sway postmarket still checking put options though. I know i need waydroid to work so ill see what the doc support is on both.

Regarding best phone for post market os

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices

Pinephone (not pro) seems to have the most support its on the main line.

Other than that under "community" & "phone" you would decide which phone in that list meets what you need and get peoples opinion on those specific phone with usage.

  • your selection on which direction to take via pinephone or android based on your needs and tollerances.

If you dont mind tinkering go pinephone however if you need it to work for various uses based on what you/friends/family use and compromises need to be done then go android.

Contribution can be bug reports, donations, assistance to other users ect. Anything is possible if you want.

I do where i can and its my choice; same with you, your choices are your own.

pinephone pro - is defintely getting better as the software improves. The battery life is definitely something that holds it back i bought a keyboard battery case and it improved it however the edges of the case that connects to the phone have cracked over time and ive super glued it twice (near headphone port & opposite side near type c port.) When they crack it can cause a misalignment on the pins and not charge/keyboard doesnt function so i have to press back into the case(hence the glue to fix that). It will eventually get better for me to completely jump over.

Pixel phones degoogled - works great especially calyx or graphene os. I have always bought used but if i want change to happen i need to stop funding google indirectly through the used market with buying their phones. I am speaking for myself here.

Fairphone , Teracube, Murena - i eventually want to just buy from these moving forward. They hit 80% + of the checkboxes i need and improvements come quicker when this companys market improves especially when their direction aligns with what i want in a phone.

Tl;dr - i am letting my money do the talking on where i want phone improvement to occur.

Which distro and enviornment do you use and how is your battery experience?

[–] Junkdata@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like used is the way to go. I never considered sports bike but its definitley something worth checking out. Maybe i can sit on them at a shop just to see if the anemic applys to me. Then look at second hand for one that i like based on the test at the shop.

Thanks for the advice.
