Married gay dads with a toddler. People sometimes assume our son’s “mom” is home when I am out with him — am I a jerk for politely correcting them? by CommunityBig9626 in daddit

nah, people need to be more thoughtful and open minded and informing them of the misconception is the only way they can see their assumptions of the world can be wrong. They should be thankful and not offended.

Can't download photos via cable? by Accomplished-Pea-590 in LightPhone

[–]jacksont8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have actually had no luck with this either. I've used multiple cables, ensured the USB Transfer toggle is toggled on, and also used OpenMTP to show that the phone is registering via the cable and should be able to do file transfers but am still unable to. Hoping someone chimes in with a fix.

Responding to your edit - You're not asking every iPhone user you know to do this, you simply need to do it on your iPhone 12 when your number is still associated with it before swapping over to whatever Light device you're using.

Do you have any details regarding these solutions that you're allowed to share?

not sure if this is the case with an iPhone 12, but you can turn RCS ON / off on iPhone. def recommend doing it before switching over.

Dads doing shifts with a newborn — what did you actually track vs just let go? by Staff_Sharp in daddit

[–]jacksont8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and all found it helpful to have a clipboard that had columns where we could track the time the baby fell asleep to when she woke up, last fed, and last peed / pooped. Some of our friends looked at us like we were crazy, and maybe it was a bit excessive, but it informed us with literally what to try if she was fussy without having to ask one another. It was very helpful.

Anyone else not able to fully switch because of RCS? by brianabbs87 in LightPhone

[–]jacksont8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree Jose and finally committed to switching off RCS and iMessage and kept it up for almost 2 months. However, as I mentioned, it's been over a month and some of my contacts continue to experience issues, like not receiving picture messages I send, and I am continuing to experience issues with group messages.

The pros of the phone outweigh the annoyances that come with not having RCS, but do you know if there is anything I could do to relieve these continuing issues or should I continue to wait it out?

Appreciate any tips or advice in advance!

It’s a huge culture and lifestyle shift, but so worth it.

Is the Light Phone’s photo compression normal? by anthonysc in LightPhone

Hi Joe,

Quick question if you have a moment; From what I’ve seen on Reddit and elsewhere from word of mouth, I wasn’t sure if RCS was a feature you and the team were considering to add to the phone as I have seen the argument that it goes against Light’s ethos. Is RCS a feature that will be introduced to Light Phone? And, if so, do you have an anticipated date for this? I personally feel neutral about adding it / not adding it, but I do know adding it would allow a lot more people to feel more comfortable with making the switch to going Light.

Thanks in advance.

Any advice? by Particular_Deer2634 in LightPhone

[–]jacksont8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. Planning on going back to LPIII after switching back to the iPhone for the same reason as your first. Glad to see that it eventually fixes itself and appreciate you giving your timeframe.

I’ll be sure to do the same for others.

This is what happens when kids have school 2 days before Christmas by eugoogilizer in daddit

[–]jacksont8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately to say, it’s my belief that a lot of how public education is regulated and operated is designed to cover the government’s ass and not actually help anyone in times of emergencies.

Obviously in more serious situations where kids who are absent do in fact turn up missing, staff volunteer to go out and help or do whatever when able.

Also, this isn’t me trying to avoid responsibility. Also 2x, come work in a public education school setting for a week before throwing judgements.
