It's really going to be absolutely critical that we be able to hack on and trust the hardware we use. I really think the hardware from MNT is the best bet we have for a computing future we still have a say in https://mnt.re/
I'm hoping the MNT Reform Next is going to make MNT's stuff more accessible to a wider variety of people

@cwebber I hope they make a normal sized laptop.

@be That's what the MNT Reform Next is (mostly)! https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

@cwebber Is this a subtoot on #framework / #FrameworkLaptop ?

@Sobex It's not necessarily, I have been advocating MNT's stuff for a long time.
But let me say that I think that if you *are* disappointed with Framework's actions then consider that MNT is:
- An indie, queer open hardware shop based out of Berlin
- All of their stuff really is as open hardware as they can make it
- The community is just lovely -

- The community is just lovely@Sobex The downsides for MNT, if you're looking for a drop-in replacement:
- There's no current x86 offering, if that's important to you
- You *will* have to hack it at some point probably, but it's highly hackable!
- The MNT Reform Next isn't out yet, so either you have this incredibly cute pocket computer, or you have the chonker "brutalist" (but highly hackable) original MNT Reform -

@jorgecandeias @cwebber Is it even worse price wise than Framework ?
(Which is known to be a fair bit more expensive than the x86 competition).

@Sobex Usually arm64/aarch64, but there are some other modules, including a (soon to be revived) FPGA module (that one's just for some very particular developers), and there were some demos of a RISC-V module. But it's generally ARM64.

- The MNT Reform Next isn't out yet, so either you have this incredibly cute pocket computer, or you have the chonker "brutalist" (but highly hackable) original MNT Reform@Sobex There's one other big downside: power management really isn't very good on most of the modules *yet*. I think some of the older modules have suspend, but hibernate is kinda working on the RK3588, no suspend yet. I do think this is a big barrier to adoption for many people.

@jorgecandeias @Sobex I'm pretty sure they're cheaper than a Framework. The Pocket Reform certainly is.

@listentolist @Sobex I haven't yet; running Guix on top of Debian when using it. There have been people working on it:

ciao, mi manca leggervi ma sono in immersione per la tirata finale di questo lavoro di traduzione, se sopravvivo dalla prossima settimana mi faccio vedere un po' di più. se non sopravvivo... è stato bello e sulla lapide scrivete "avrebbe voluto lavorare meno" 😅

Ho controllato sul sito di UniAcque, il nostro gestore, e ci sono le analisi liberamente scaricabili. A leggere i dati, da totale inesperto, ma valutando i valori di legge massimi riportati, è buona in effetti.

Parte 2
Nel frattempo ho acquistato da eBay un Nokia N95, un 8330 e continuo a usare il mio amato Motorola V3. Erano telefoni da esposizione, praticamente nuovi, con batterie perfette e scatola originale. Li userò per lavoro e per la mia vita privata, perché i miei affari restano miei e non di chi vuole leggere tutto.

Parte 4
Per chi vuole davvero tornare a un telefono anni 2000, controllate prima se la rete 2G è ancora attiva nella vostra zona. Alcuni operatori, come Vodafone, la stanno spegnendo. Con TIM invece è ancora funzionante, anche perché viene usata in diversi servizi. Meglio chiedere al proprio gestore per sicurezza.

Why is it supposed to rain tomorrow? It's only the middle of November!
Is this going to be like the year we got 200% of our annual rainfall thanks to "atmospheric rivers" and I regularly had to wring out my bike clothing? The new-to-me steel frame bike isn't happy. And of course my plan to fix up that rescue bike to have something else to ride in the rain stalled out...
