Profanity: Profanity on Pinephone
Hi all,

So far, in my pinephone I used mainly GUI applications, because I was using a touch screen. Terminal applications are not user-friendly when it comes to one-handed operation.

I tested different distributions on my pinephone (mobian, manjaro, archarm), but usually most based on Phosh. In my opinion it is currently the best mobile graphics environment and stable as well.

In Phosh I tested few xmpp clients:

Snikket: Server updates for ARM systems
We have a couple of important announcements relevant to people running the
Snikket server software on ARM devices, including Raspberry Pi. Systems using
ARM processors are increasingly popular for self-hosting due to their
increased efficiency, lower cost and minimal energy consumption.

The Snikket January 2022 server release was an
exciting release for us, but some users on ARM-based systems reported some

Peter Saint-Andre: The Underlying Theme
In a comment on my recent post about Aristotle on ways of life, my friend Kurt wondered if, according to Aristotle, the best life must have a single purpose (in Greek, a telos). I would say so: at the very beginning of the Eudemian Ethics, he says that it is a sign of great folly to not organize your life around some telos. Yet I think this can be interpreted in several different ways.... ⌘ Read more

Prosodical Thoughts: Prosody 0.11.13 released
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.

This is a(nother!) release for our stable branch to fix a memory leak caused
by the security fix. Deployments using websockets, SQL storage and possibly
other configurations may have noticed increasing memory usage after upgrading

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophies and Ways of Life
In his book What Is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot almost singlehandedly resurrected the ancient conception of philosophy as a way of life.

Things were very different in antiquity. No university obligations oriented the future philosopher toward a specific school; instead, the futur ... ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: MLK and Personalism
In my recent post on idealism and identity, I mentioned my attraction to the philosophy of personalism, with its emphasis on human dignity. It is perhaps a little-known fact that Martin Luther King, Jr., was greatly influenced by that very philosophy. Early in life he ventured north to study at Boston University, then the center of personalist thought in America, where he completed his doctorate under theologian Edgar Sheffield Brightman. We can see the deep influence of personalism on King's ... ⌘ Read more
Peter Saint-Andre: Idealism and Identity
Personal identity is a deep, and deeply meaningful, subject: at some level, what's more important than what makes you you? Paradoxically, throughout history and across cultures, often personal identity has been a social construct, tied closely to tribe, clan, family, ethnic group, race, caste, class, societal role, and so on - usually in opposition to some Other ("I'm a Capulet, not a Montague", "I'm a proletarian, not a bourgeois", etc.).... ⌘ Read more

Peter Saint-Andre: Meditations on Bach #9: Musical Monadology
In meditation #7 of this series, I took note of some similarities between the aesthetics of Aristotle and the music of Bach. Another intriguing influence might be the monadology of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716), who directly influenced philosophers and musical theorists in the Bach's orbit: for instance, Bach's student Lorenz Mizler (1711-1778) was a follower of the Leibniz scholar Christian Wolff (1679-1754).
