This is a real concern in today’s day and age, where corporations are encroaching on third spaces, both online and in person.

I’ve had some luck searching for coding clubs on meetup or other group event sites. For example: https://www.meetup.com/code-and-coffee-chicago/ , https://codeandcoffee.org/ , https://www.meetup.com/dearborn-coding-club/ , https://www.meetup.com/nyc-coders/

There are usually developers looking for work who you can talk to in person at these clubs, its a great way to network and get connected with people in the community who are trying to avoid the beaten path!

Weird to put quotes around a word I did not use. Additionally I have not made any presumptions about you or your intelligence. But my post about a project (again, the main point of my post being a project that is not mine) is not a support forum for you not being able to see the bodies of crossposts. Or would you have preferred I copy pasted the post body into a comment for you?

Maybe you didn’t see what the actual problem causing the misunderstanding was but let me clarify it for you:

Alternatively if you don’t prefer this behavior, you can disable crosspost embed in Settings to get the normal Lemmy behavior.

Once you do that, you’ll have the info you were asking for in your initial comment, or, more importantly, you won’t have this misunderstanding with others in the future.

Also, I don’t know how many times I have to type it, my project is ending. I didn’t post this to talk about my project, the goal of this post to raise awareness for a project I have nothing to do with. Your imagined issues with me causing you to not look at the project is only detrimental for you.

Sorry you don’t like how I type I guess?

I found this closed issue: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1409

Here is an excerpt from that link

This is intentional. In this case, you should tap the crosspost to view full text.

Alternatively if you don’t prefer this behavior, you can disable crosspost embed in Settings to get the normal Lemmy behavior.

Seems like its a setting in the FE, with an, in my opinion, non-sensible default. Might be worth submitting an issue and asking for the default for that setting to be flipped, since it seems to be causing confusion.

Not sure how my comment was at all passive. From my perspective using the default lemmy.zip frontend, I can see the post body, which answered the question you were asking before you had asked it. I clearly stated what I thought you were asking for, mentioned how to find the info and that it was already provided, and then provided the link again. If anything, my comment was aggressive, there was no passivity about it.

Now that I’m aware that some frontends for federated social media do not show the body of crossposts, which I verified by checking the voyager frontend for myself, I went ahead and checked the github for the FE. I found this closed issue: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1409

Here is an excerpt from that link

Hope that addresses your concerns, which are unrelated to the actual post.

Regardless as I mentioned in the post body, my project is ending, so the main image of the post is just an attention grabber to funnel people towards this project led by a different team. https://github.com/SPIRIT-org/SPIRIT

To be slightly more accurate, I wrote “I continued to mess around with a mobile broadband modem, and got it working! With a caveat… it only works when plugged into wall power.”, “it” referring to the mobile broadband modem. Only the usb connected broadband modem requires “wall” power to function, technically it only requires 25W consistently to be provided to the pi5, or some other direct power.

The device is a great little handheld that functions as a full linux computer that works completely on battery power! I bet your landline can’t do that!

But, that’s besides the point! Give the SPIRIT phone project a look on github! https://github.com/SPIRIT-org/SPIRIT

If you’re looking for additional context, it would likely be found by reading the previous post which I linked in the post body. Here is the link again: https://lemmy.zip/post/53113975

Yes, someone from the Linux community asked something similar. Not to steal their comment but they suggested the use of this board to pair with the CM5 https://www.pi-shop.ch/nano-base-board-a-for-raspberry-pi-compute-module-5 In terms of space saving, that would be a big help. But I do like the pi5 for the micro hdmi plugs, it allows the device to be used as both a “phone” and a desktop. So I’ve gotta think about it some more. Thanks for the suggestion!

I’m not sure how to add more images to the post, sorry. But I uploaded images to a repo, in the pictures directory https://github.com/muhammadmanwar/cheaphone OR https://codeberg.org/muhammadmanwar/cheaphone

That’s actually the vision I have as well for the device, its basically just a Linux Desktop that fits in an average (cargo pants) pocket, and can do anything a PC can, so in my eyes it is functionally a cyberdeck. The biggest issues with the current configuration are that the UI is a bit tough to use, given the slightly smaller screen size than an average phone, and that it only gets about 7.5 hours of battery life when idling. I’ve already successfully made VOIP calls from the device, though it doesn’t have built in speakers or mics, so you have to use bluetooth or a USB to 3.5 mm adapter.
