  • Review of F(x)tec Pro1 X after 3 months of use

  • I’m guessing cases for this are hard to come by?

    Never looked for a case. But it's a rare beast, I don't think there is any case for it in the wild 😅

    And what about lint/dust/sand

    I think it closes quite firmly. So dust doesn't get inside.

  • Good point! Another issue is that only FUTO and FlorisBoard currently offer FOSS swipe implementations, both of which are in alpha. The AOSP keyboard doesn't have this feature - it's exclusive to Google Keyboard.

  • You can still buy one from backers. Since deliveries only recently finished, many units are still in near mint condition.

  • I bought it from someone on the unofficial Discord server. They have a dedicated channel for that. It felt a bit shady, but at least the prices are fair.

    The 2 Great Alternatives Have Fallen

    Jump

  • Ah, I thought it's about Valve's Proton 😅

  • For which game would you most like to see a FOSS alternative?

  • I heard good things about Veloren. It's not a classical MMO, but I think it qualifies as one.

  • Sims

    No promises, but I actually working on one 😅 See this comment.

  • Same! There are almost no proprietary alternatives either!

    It's funny that the first comment is about The Sims 😅 My wife and I are working on a life simulation game in Rust using Bevy. I've been working on it for almost a year, and feeling a we are feeling a bit demotivated recently. So right now I took a small "break" and focus on improving crates that I used inside the game (input management and networking). I know the project is quite ambitious, but I've always wanted to create something like this. Seeing this many upvotes on your comment is quite encouraging 🙂

    I post my progress at !projectharmonia@lemmy.ml and here is the GitHub page. The project name is a placeholder. I haven't managed to come up with a nice name yet.

  • A federated MMO would be interesting! But cheating might be a concern. Anyone could create a server with fully-equipped character and just federate.

    But maybe servers could whitelist trusted servers? 🤔

  • Never heard about it, but looks cool!

  • A president simulator? This sounds great! Never heard about these games, thanks for sharing!

  • Also wanted something like this! Maybe for MMO it will be easier to create a re-implementation 🤔 Because it's not only hard to develop, but also hard to fill with content.

  • That's sad 😢

    I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it's not an easy fix.

  • This is weird. I saw an announcement on Discord that they finished shipping all devices in November 2024.

  • Yes, this managed to ship all devices in November 2024.

  • You can run Droidian, which is galium-based (special Android compatibility layer to talk to hardware).

    Running on mainline is also possible, but the support is not great. Here is the PMOS page.

  • Yeah, I heard that many units have antenna issue. Before buying I asked the seller to test it for me. My unit was unaffected by the issue.

    Yeah, the situation with the company is not great.

    Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!

    There actually 4 maintainers for this device! It was a surprise for me. Usually it's 1 guy.

  • I considered their Astra or Communicator, but they don’t support LineageOS, which is important to me.
