Yeah, plus one for Flatpaks here as well! A good way to keep up-to-date apps on a 'stable' distro. I use Debian and am super happy with it as the underlying system, but plenty of applications have fairly old versions in the Debian repos.

What client app(s) do you use? Some of these have the demo server pre-loaded, maybe that's still configured in the background?

Unfortunately no 3.5mm headphone jack. That would make the phone perfect for me. Still, I really like the device and it's rare anyway that I'd be using a set of wired headphones these days.

A couple of mentions so far for Ursula K. Le Guin and I'm here to echo them, and to mention my favourite book of hers that I've read (so far): The Dispossessed.

It tells the story of a brilliant physicist from a collectivist, anarchist society who must travel to the hierarchical, individualist, capitalist society that his ancestors split from many years prior. Great story with really interesting politics weaved throughout.

I'll also add the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) by Kim Stanley Robinson. A huge, sprawling narrative about the colonisation and terraforming of Mars. The development of eclogy-based politics and economics plays a big part in the story, as does the development of a new government and constitution. The "hard" science fiction of the novel seems to put some people off (at times long scientific descriptions of landscapes, physical/geological processes, etc.) but I love these books.

Trump also thinks it's 50x larger than it really is because of map projection effects.

I buy vinyl for older albums (or current favourite artists I follow that release LPs), and all my digital purchases are through Bandcamp. I host everything (flac or mp3 files) on a Navidrome server and stream from that.

Yes, I have. I suppose I should have said "ALWAYS super keen to see whatever is coming next".

Weeeird movie! Some truly bizarre stuff in there, visually and tonally. Need to watch it again. I'm a big fan of Alex Garland, super keen to see whatever is coming next.

Battlestar Galactica! All of the themes for the various characters fit really well, and the taiko-style drums during space battles, which at first might seem stylistically a bit strange, work amazingly well to amp up the sense of urgency.

I love everything of his that I've read. I think my favourites are Green Mars, Aurora, and 2312. I also really loved The High Sierra as a very different example of his work.

I've still not read The Years of Rice and Salt or Shaman – definitely need to get around to them. I tend to pace myself with my very favourite authors.

Thanks for all your work on this fork! I use Tempo every day and I'm so glad there's development continuing. Do you already have a new name for the project in mind?

It depends on the client app you use. Some support it, some don't.
