At one point vaccine passports were a conspiracy theory and wouldn't happen but then they did. Then they said it wasn't like they were microchipping people and that was a conspiracy theory. Well now that's happening as well.

My fellow #pinephone users.
#sxmo really rocks. It is my favorite ecosystem on the pinephone.

The @fdroidorg #apps hosting on @codeberg list is growing.

Ok, figured it out. Pressing Volume Down after the first vibration seemingly boots from SD card. Sounds sane, and I guess am fine with this.
Updated to the latest, experimental Tow-Boot for the #PinePhonePro. Now I only need to figure out how to boot from microSD again, as it now defaults to eMMC (which IMHO is a bad choice, as SD card booting by default makes things easier when the eMMC distro gets corrupted). #towboot
