I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone's many shortcomings:

  • Terrible battery life when on, though can last on standby
  • Phone has terrible performance. It is frustrating to do basic tasks because it is too slow.
  • It gets uncomfortably hot when using it.

Some things I liked:

  • Screen was fine
  • All the phone hardware features work (unlike my op6)
  • Plastic back makes the phone pretty rugged.

I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don't have to worry about running out.

That is why my restaurant will number tables by UUID.

I know for me personally, its worth the time to set things up myself since I usually learn something new along the way. If you don't care about the learning aspect and just want the finished product, paying someone else is probably a good idea.

That's seems like a good idea, considering the plethora of videos online of packages being stolen with an obvious camera watching the thieves.

That and it has full functionality in the browser. No bullshit "download the app".

I personally am migrating accounts and contacts from my gmail address to my own domain set up with Zoho. Pretty cheap for the yearly subscription and I like knowing that my nail is not with an advertising company.

Nah, give me that Fisher Price Baby Screwdriver that's easy to use and cannot build a space shuttle.

Ouch, I feel your pain. My high school education consisted of one course in C getting as far as pointers, then the next in Python.

I find phone images too always look overprocessed, specifically sharpened and denoised.

Yeah. One of the major reasons I never plan to use Proton or Tutanota is that none of my email apps will work and I will rely on whatever interface they provide.

Yeah, libredirect is awesome. It's useful even if I remember all the frontends, since it means even embedded and linked videos use whatever frontend I want in the case of Youtube.
