  • I had a very similar thing happen to me. The oddity was that I had just signed an offer letter with another company the week before and I gave my two weeks notice to my boss, but that message hadn’t traveled up the pipe yet. So my one-on-one with a director was basically

    Director: “Half you team was let go, but your job is safe!” Me: “Cool. You know I’m leaving next week, right?” Director: awkward blank stares

    I really wish I had been laid off. Saved someone else their job and I would have gladly taken that severance pay on the way out the door.





  • Thanks for the detailed answer and pointing me towards the Mr. Chromebox tooling. I picked up the used Acer CB3 for $30 and was able to install the custom UEFI firmware and then install Gallium OS without too much hassle. Like you said, not a fancy machine, but hard to beat that price.

    I started daily driving a PinePhone with Mobian over two years ago, upgraded to a PinePhonePro when they first came out, and then I finally got my Librem5 about a month ago. They have come a long way. The core functions you’d expect from a phone work; calls, texts (SMS and MMS), camera (pictures and video), email, web browsing, all that works perfectly fine on my Librem5. However, I understand they are not for everyone. While there are things like twitter and mastodon clients for Linux you are not going to get a banking app for a Linux phone (for example). I just use the browser for those kinds of things though.
