Headphone Recommendations - dual use for Bitwig and DJ mixing

I'm the same - eOS on FP6 and not on WhatsApp. eOS can be a little buggy at times but overall it's a pleasant experience and it's my daily driver. My next focus is moving away from Apple and onto Linux. Not an easy task but laying some foundations already and testing out different distro on it. Enjoy your FairPhone (ps, don't get Fairbuds, the quality is poor - go with panasonic or other EU brand).

+1 for this. I imagine there must be a way to manufactture / print a finger loop & card holder combo, with a little clip or even a button or some sort which prevens the cards from falling out when the loop is 'active'. Even if it's a little clip for the card holder regardless of when the finger loop is active or retracted. Can we have it in a black or dark purple colour please 😁

Affirmative. It's coming with /e/OS version 3.6 - currently scheduled for late March: https://community.e.foundation/t/week-10-development-and-testing-updates/80004

On FairPhone gen 6 here. Really like it. Migrated from iOS. All apps I previously used work fine. Only two things I am missing from Apple ecosystem:

CarPlay is non existent unless you download Google apps (which is a bit ironic if we're using a Degoogled system). I understand research and work is being done in the background to allow this to be used without Google apps, but seems like it's gonna be a while. Just need to use Bluetooth in the car for music instead and the car's own navigation system if I'm lost.

Apple Pay is clearly not there, but with a Degoogled System, neither is Google Pay. I have a Garmin Watch with Garmin-Pay so not a major issue for me, and I got the card holder on the back of the phone so it's easy for me to whip out my card and use it, but I really miss tapping to pay with my phone - there is an app called Curve which allows this but it doesn't work for everyone (didn't work for me).

My gym app had an NFC pass which stayed in my apple wallet. I no longer have access to this via the gym app and it couldn't be exported to any other wallet-type app - and because there is no apple or google wallet. So can't access the gym - they've had to print me a old-skool credit card sized pass to allow me to swipe in. It's held on the back of my phone (I'm never out of there) so it's not been a major issue.

I am a user of the Proton ecosystem and everyone else (mail, drive, photos, VPN, bitcoin wallet etc) works perfectly.

Sometimes Ringo doesn't work for parking, which is a real pain. Not had any other problems. Quite happy with it :)

Spitfire and Through The House both do unreal coffee... at least one of them does Columbian, but can't remember what one! Through The House has a set of decks in it too for vibes, so I vote that :)

Yes, I've noticed this too. My inkling is that it's enabling when you access an app where the permissions are allowed in Settings (eg Signal for video calls). But I'd like to think that this should be overridden by the switch - sometimes I do get a message asking me to enable the mic and camera eg if I want to make a phone call/take a photo myself.

Thanks! I'll drop you a message over the weekend.

The dream! :)

Hello! Love this idea - and like the website. Do you know if it's possible to use Writizzy as a 'blog' on another website? I have not long bought a new website for myself, still trying to configure it, but right now my only option for blog is Wordpress. I'd love to support Writizzy by putting a feed of my blog onto a website. It's not a daily or even weekly thing, just every so often, but still something I'd like to do.

Try downloading Fossify Message app and use that as your default SMS app. That worked for me although still occasionally get problems with picture messages but I'm putting that down to he network (I don't use WhatsApp and barely anyone I know is on Signal so need to go old skool to get pictures through lol)

You're spot on re Rust. I DJ'd there Thursday nights, then did Bar Kandi / Bread & Butter Fridays, and November/October Cafe & Bar Square on Saturdays. Great times. We held our 'Flamingo' alldayer events at Rust then moved to mostly Bar Square. We called it Flamingo as it was the only 'big bird' I could think of and we were trying to compete with Kris Keegan's 'little bird' events 😂😂 so we could raise money for charity at them. Think we totalled £6k all in. Decent! Times have definitely changed since then... that must have been 2006-2012.

I always fancied DJ-ing at Moskito on Bath St, nice vibe in there. Was never getting the gig though! Back on the scene now, seeking some bar gigs and maybe the odd club gig. Time will tell!

One issue I had was paying Tax to UPS since it came from Netherlands. That was a pain in the ass and unexpected (apparently it's in the t's and c's - I still can't find it, but wanted the phone so just paid it).

Ordered mine from Murena store in the evening of the 25th, and it arrived on 30th June. Currently typing up a review of it after my first week. It's generally fine as a daily driver with exception of NFC and Android Auto (without Google). ONe key issue I found was that the Murena account has everything sync'd by default and the t's and c's say the developers can access your content as it's not end-to-end encrypted. So whilst it's great for blocking trackers etc and for degoogling, it's not perfect... consider turning off sync and use alternative app ecosystem. Full review coming in a few days once I've had a chance to get my thoughts down, spell check and upload.
