As of todays -next (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k) you can run the without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 . This means distributions can enable it without trouble from 5.12 onwards. The itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

agx was already taken on fosstodon so with a background I'll move my presence to 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 !

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 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.

Eugenio (@g7) has contributed accent color support to (we're targeting 0.43.0):

By popular demand -osk-stub now also allows to add plain `alt` and `ctrl` to the terminals shortcuts bar. This makes usage with complex key combos easier (I'm looking at you ):

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.

It's time for your newest FOSSphones news roundup! As usual, the same page will also be posted on our gemini capsule.

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! 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.
