    Great, after a bit of wiggling it's open. Thanks!

    Battery compartment question

    I have just received my Pyrae (black and copper). The black one works as designed, but on the copper one, I can not open the battery compartment lid. Actually, I am not sure how to open it, as it looks differently on the copper Pyra, than on the black one. It also seems that the coating is...

    Could the Pyra be cheaper and available for *BSD ?

    ... _getting better_ heavily depends on your needs and requirements. Mine are increasingly incompatible with (at least mainline) linux. I select my software based not on success rate, but fitness for my purposes. If there will be no NetBSD port to Pyra, then Pyra will remain a toy for me...

    Could the Pyra be cheaper and available for *BSD ?

    Linux as a OS for game console emulator is perfectly fine for me. However, when I am going to use the Pyra as a PDA and small form factor portable computer, I have some issues with Linux in general, and systemd, pulseaudio, wayland, etc. in particular. To at least rudimentarilly support porting...

    Which software do you miss on Pyra?

    Well, to follow up on topic, I did some thinking, what apps I would like to be available on the Pyra: * Productivity: I would guess that most of my personal productivity tools (vi, awk, troff, gnuplot, ImageMagick, gs, mutt, ...) are already available in the base system or as a deb packages. *...

    Which software do you miss on Pyra?

    At least in my country they legally cannot force us to buy windows or ms office, at least in theory. However, it is not yet tested at court. Our conflicts so far: 1. Teams. We complained about installation of 3rd party software, in the end they recommended running it in a browser. Which is...

    Which software do you miss on Pyra?

    Yes, right, they can; but they *must* also provide all the hardware needed (and also the needed licenses for software, if applicable). At least in theory, but at least according to voices in my social bubble, this is not a problem. What is a problem, is remote school. Because they DO expect...

    Where are we now?

    The keyword to watch for is legacy apps^Wgames. I need to ressurect MSTS. My daughter now needs to ressurect SSO, and soon. It's royal pain to keep them running under Linux. But still at least marginally better than having three or four antiquated pieces of hardware running W95, WXP, Vista, and...

    It's software this time!

    Also ordered two pyrae. Got one e-mail with link (IIUC the empty e-mail was related to something with german locale, en_us locale here so no empty email I guess). I don't care much about the color of the other pyra (as long as it is reasonably conservative), but I hope that both of my pyrae are...

    It's software this time!

    So at least there is a workaround. Thanks for the link!

    It's software this time!

    Wayland did not offer network transparency last time I've checked. Did something change on that front?

    It's software this time!

    Please keep the option to select between X11 and Wayland, if reasonably possible, for us oldschool staff. Some of us have a ton of X11 clients we would like to run on server hardware while displaying on Pyra...

    It's software this time!

    This behavior even is illegal, at least in my country, but nobody gives a s**t. Especially when the offending traffic comes from abroad, you're out of luck. The laws are useless, the government has different priorities: to use the police to extort the money from drivers who parked their cars 10...

    Pyra news partially stale from the dragon's mouth

    It depends on the norm in question. You confuse the terms normal and commonplace. But don't worry, it's very commonplace, though not normal, mistake.

    So, what's the current status of everything?

    A language which only governmental or similar organizations can regulate? Clearly a red flag from an adoption perspective. It is a too tempting way into really ugly totalitarian regime. Unless there is a brutal totalitarian force behind enforcing the regulations and controlled development of...

    Librem 5 phone by Purism

    I'm hereby expressing interest as well, count me in with 3 (or so) devices. Pyra phone with keyboard would be handy, though. Currently, the BB Classic is used here (very nicely built with remarkably comfortable keyboard, the rest being less optimistic). Although I like the layout of (square or...

    Passed the certification!

    Thousand apologies that I beg to disagree, but <i>making the voters taking their responsibility serious again</i> is the way to go. The complete separation of the voting decisions from the voting consequences of it is the bigest problem of the democrature^Wdemocracy now. (And now back to...

    Silence!

    Good to hear that at least one of the BSDs is planned to be ported! I'm a NetBSD user since the 0.8 times (and some of my scripts or, hmm, local solutions, are really that old), but I've never used the OpenBSD. After a short look into the documentation it seems that porting my localisms to...

    Silence!

    Thanks to both of you. Devuan I've unsuccessfully tried to install on my main production machine some time ago (it runs Gentoo now after considerable effort), and I've decided to have a look later. Alpine linux I didn't know, looks interesting for smallish embeddis things. But NetBSD still...

    Silence!

    Debian (the latest one without systemd, I believe 7). When the support for debian without systemd ends, debian will get out, NetBSD will get in.
