Are you using the Pinephone as your daily driver?

+1 for XMPP!

No phone number nor even carrier required, strictly speaking (you can send over Wi-Fi, like email)!  Many times I have not had cell service, but was able to send messages over XMPP (via Wi-Fi, which can be found all over nowadays (Walmart, McDonalds, etc.))!

A long time standardized protocol.  Remember, protocols, not platforms!  Wink

I gave up trying to explain this to normies.  But maybe I find an audience here.  Big Grin 

I got the feature/handy branch of Dino to compile directly on the PinePhone (I'm running Mobian) with only minor trouble.  It's working quite well!  I can maybe write a step by step guide if anyone needs that, but most of what you should need is in my comment there.

What is Free Software and why is it so important for society?

Protocols, not Platforms

For the most Linux-y experience on your Linux phone, try SXMO!

I am (nominally) the Armbian Maintainer for PineBook Pro (although severely lacking in time these days).
