As of todays #linux-next (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tag/?h=next-20210112) you can run the #librem5devkit without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 #defconfig. This means distributions can enable it without trouble from #linux 5.12 onwards. The #librem5 itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.
New #dbusmock #release which adds cell broadcast messages to the modemmanager template. Thanks to @agx!

agx was already taken on fosstodon so with a #ruhri background I'll move my #fediverse presence to https://ruhr.social/deck/@agx . Hope to see you there.
I'll set up the account move as well in a couple of days but as that has a 30d cooling off period let's see if things work out over there.
🙏 for the service #libremone !

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/iotas is great for note taking / lists and gnome-text-editor for generic text. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about saving to a file.
With the fixes made in the last #phosh release and those in flight for 0.43 regarding on screen keyboard, text input, text completion and copy/paste together with small app fixes here and there I'm really starting to enjoy text input on mobile and grab the phone more often although the laptop is nearby.
I consider that a good sign 😃

Prav - A Free Software Challenger To WhatsApp
By me and @badrihippo
October 13, 2024
Do you care about Free Software but still end up using WhatsApp for your messaging needs? It is ironic that a large part of the Free Software community in India is still using a proprietary software — #WhatsApp — for their everyday communications.

Thanks to Benson and contrapunctus for reviewing.
you can also see @arunmani 's work on improved quick setting in the picture above and here's a quick demo (already landed on main):
Hi All,
I recently got a few Meshtastic devices, but was sad to see there is no Linux based GUI for it (though an excellt Python CLI library/App). So I rolled up my sleeves and make a basic GUI in GTK4/Libadwaita! I think it turned out pretty well.
If you test it out and find bugs, please let me know!
I've been experimenting with @agx 's phosh-osk-keyboard , and hacked together a script to automatically change the shortcuts based on the window titles. #mobilelinux #hymo

Ich habe mal wieder ein paar Vortragsfolien für das Web konvertiert. Der Vortrag war am 1. Oktober bei der Deutschen Rentenversicherung und geht um Cloud Computing. Viel Spaß! https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=99f76772

I usually get 'hey' for hey swipes, but sometimes hwy/hgwy. Enable multiple suggestions, and maybe cull some words from your list.
