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 ):

The OSK panel in mobile settings is becoming more complete. After adding layout selection last cycle, selecting the default text completer is on its way now too. The data is provided by the OSK so new completers are picked up automatically.

(it's also my main test case for Bluetooth testing 😃 )

I wanted to rent some CPU power from Hetzner to calc better text prediction data for .

Created account via VPN so they wanted additional ID information which I sent with passport number removed. Resulting in:

"""
After reviewing your updated customer information, we have decided to deactivate your account because of some concerns we have regarding this information. Therefore, we have cancelled all your existing products and orders with us.
"""

I can't recommend this service.

Another small detail: I often need to scroll up in to reread something when composing a msg. Going back to the last msg of the conversation by taping the 🔵 would close the ⌨️ forcing me touch into the text area again (and causing visual distraction). We can fix this by having the 🔵 not take focus.

Posting this to demo it can be a one line change in a UI file to make work better. So please get involved! 's GtkInspector is great to figure such things out.

Today was "Bundesweiter Warntag" in Germany so a good point in time to test 's & 's upcoming support 🚨 .

The sounds emitted by are only stubs (and you don' t hear the haptic in the video but I promise it's there 😃).

There's three messages because the CBMs are sent out on three different channels.

Thanks @NGIZero for supporting my work on this!

Copy / paste can be fiddly on mobile. I opened an MR today to make the paste part a bit easier in phosh-osk-stub (another old branch finally cleaned up into a (hopefully) mergeable state):

While memory is still fresh I summed up my gist from helping to organize/run this years devroom at : (honk.sigxcpu.org/con/A_short_l) in the hope that we can do another one next year (and there'd be people interested to participate again).

@arunmani and myself worked a bit on making Wi-Fi networks easier to select in 's quick setting status page by giving the Wi-Fi list more vertical space and making each list box row a bit wider thus making it easier to select via touch (the same applies to other status pages like Bluetooth device selection):

Gentle reminder: There'll be a devroom at on 17./18. of August.

If you want to submit a talk, presentation, round table or BoF head to cfp.froscon.org/ .

All related topic welcome.

Can't join (events.gnome.org/event/209/) this year but at least I can watch the live stream on a 📱 running a based shell () and lots of components with a video player using GTK and (). Life could be worse.

While @suraj_sloth is working on the connector side in I got a chance to add the code for registering/unregistering push gateways in and Chatty (with this I can readily round trip messages up to the UP distributor):

We've tagged version 0.2.0 of (a small video player for ) a couple of days ago and @rmader updated it on also bumping to 1.24.4 improving and support.
