Whenever I have to deal with #LinuxMobile on devices that formerly ran android I realize how super simple things like flashing and debugging are on the #Librem5 compared to that.
No odd partition schemes, no super sensitive boot loader that gives up on the first glitch. Just #uboot and if all else fails #jumpdrive.
I needed #Rust bindings for an app to interact with #feedbackd to submit #haptic feedback. Here's the generated bindings for libfeedback in case someone else needs it too:
I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).
Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.
Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅
I've tagged a new release of mobile-broadband-provider-info:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info/-/releases/20240407
It has updated providers, support for mms attachment size and we switched the build system to meson.
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for April:

Laptop died yesterday but thanks to the #Librem5, the Baseus Dock, an HDMI Screen, a USB keyboard and #Phosh's docked mode I have access to most of the things via my phone.
#nitrokey helps a lot as that means I have my ssh keys available by just plugging it in.
Took me about 15min to notice that I didn't even plug a mouse in.
Forgot to add: toggling always-on-top will also get a visual indication in an upcoming #phoc release (likely 0.39.0).
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for March:

While we try to find a suitable place for the clock in phosh's top bar when notches are present (since 0.29.0) we didn't take rounded corners into account as most of the time the left and right padding would be enough.
With more devices like the #fairphone5 and #xiaomi daisy showing up as being used with #phosh we need to care about that too:
With a bit of help from #phoc the next phosh-osk-stub release can (optionally) hide when a keyboard gets attached.
My #FreeSoftware activities in February (at least the ones I remember): https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Free_Software_Activities_February_2024.html
I kept unlocking the 📱 a lot to check a cars charging status. Using #phosh's launcher-box lockscreen-plugin and the LauncherEntry DBus protocol we can simplify that and have the information easily accessible:
In case you want to support my work on #LinuxMobile and #Phosh financially i've added some options to https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/donations/

Livi (a little video player for #LinuxMobile) (but it also has a wide mode for convergent use now) will soon remember stream positions so it's easy to continue watching. Here's how it looks in #phosh :

A short look back at what happened around #phosh in 2023:
