The #Kickstarter for the #MuditaKompakt e-ink phone looks quite appealing, more so than the #Lightphone does to me, especially as they say that advanced users will be able to sideload apps, then it becomes somewhat of a smaller #BooxPalma with mobile connectivity and a possibly very awesome device for #ReadwiseReader
Keep it coming #Mudita!
Idea: Mudita Kompakt & Mudita Pure, but with kernel flashing & mods encouraged instead of shunned to enable folks to install those 2 apps they need to make the experience pleasant & put less friction to new users. I ‘get’ the idea of purposefully curating a set of applications to minimize distractions, but some of those users need to stay in contact with loved ones. I wouldn’t mind a monochrome e-paper device that encouraged more reading.
The Pure they seemed to purposefully put no information out on how to touch the Linux system it was built on despite publishing the source. The Kompakt appears like it might actually be Android instead of ‘just’ Linux (going off of how suspiciously OSM And the maps application looks). These should be freedom-oriented devices.
Hardware seems fine, if not expensive (but what can you do in non-mass-produced markets). Would be cool if they had one with a hardware keyboard instead of T9-like or touch screen only (I very much hesitate to call it QWERTY since it is a bad layout & going label-less on letter keys may make it more accessible to the millions of other layouts which is probably a big driver for touchscreen keyboards).
But back to the apps, the curated list does not overlap with the privacy message. SMS as the only way to DM someone? I mean ship with Conversations & let users choose their own servers while running cheaply a ejabberd instance with slim storage with both PGP & OMEMO covering end-to-end encryption. If users wanted, they could set up systems they could then drive thru a text CLI as well to offload functionality. Unlike a bad choice like Matrix or SimpleX, Conversations is very, very low on CPU/RAM & data usage suiting these devices’ specs. No 2FA / TOTP app? This is one of the primary uses of a phone to many. No mail app? This would be a primary source of distraction but something like K-9 could be configured to just not notify ever but you could dig thru to find an important message (also used as a form of 2FA in many cases) when needed. A feed reader would be the last obvious low-tech app that would prioritize users explicitly opting into what they are reading thru a feed aggregator or otherwise. With email, XMPP client, feed reader, 2FA, I could cover or script 85% of what I do with my phone that isn’t watching videos.
our job is to keep our heart open, our mind steady, & through our words & actions, plant seeds of lovingkindness, compassion, joy in others’ happiness, & equanimity to benefit a world that suffers.
we have no idea if, when, or where these seeds will bear fruit, but we plant them nonetheless.
happy planting

I wish more people in religions beyond just dharmic ones, and people who are more spiritual or non-religious too, embraced the concept of #Mudita.
It’s about finding unselfish, sympathetic joy in the happiness, success, and overcoming of obstacles that other people face.
I’m not Buddhist, but I think this is an incredibly important little thing that so many people have missed.
now I dreamed last night that I was transitioning to male: I'd caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, stopped to take in all the miraculous changes, and was so excited about my new body--the body I was meant to have, *me*.
So today I share the joy of everyone in #transition, as every day you all become more and more who you were meant to be.
Be well, be happy.
The fact is that there is only one of you and many, many more people who are not you. So if you are unhappy when something good happens for other people, thinking that it's some kind of competition that you lost, then you are going to be unhappy most of the time. Whereas if you are happy for the success of others when something good happens for them, then you are going to be happy a lot more of the time. Who doesn't want to be happy more often?
So #Mudita is really in our own self-interest.

Ooo, I love that word as well as the Buddhist term #Mudita
and #Compersion; which have similar meanings. Yup agreed that it seems #Mastodon seems to embody them!

I wonder how open the hardware is on the Mudita phone:
"Your Modern Minimalist Phone. Mindful design, essential functionalities, an eye-friendly E Ink display, an open source OS and ultralow SAR value.
Available in Community pre-sale."
MuditaOS And Mudita Center are now fully Open Source (for e-ink feature phones): https://mudita.com/community/blog/muditaos-and-mudita-center-code-is-now-fully-open-source/ #muditaos #muditacenter #mudita #phone #featurephone #os #foss #release #update
Et si c'était cela la vraie révolution des smartphones ?
