@adam @zbrown whenver it comes to proress bars https://xkcd.com/612/ comes to my mind 🙂
@okennedy @adam exactly! The whole point is to demo that we detect the app launch correctly, come up with some animation and have a rough idea when to close that thing (which is the most complicated bit). Spinners, nicer graphics, etc are yet to come. It's all divide and conquer:separate UI representation from the lower level plumbing so design and plumbing can progress.
@bshah For what exactly?

Using #gimp on the #librem5 works better now thanks to the new display scaling feature in #phosh 0.8.0 #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism @agx #gnomeonmobile
#phosh 0.8.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.8.0
Changing output resolutions and scaling via GNOME Settings should now mostly work, system modal dialogs don't pop up on the lock screen anymore plus more fixes and i18n improvements. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
@zoot@fosstodon.org @someunexpectedsparks thanks! /cc'ing #gnome #phoc and #squeekboard - without those #phosh wouldn't be possible.
@bart sure, if the hks is exposed as rfkill hard-blocked state (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/77) - I'll take that upstream to figure out the correct #linux kernel interface now that we have #phosh as a consumer.
The state of the #librem5 's microphone hardware kill switch wasn't indicated so far but that is bound to change:

Worth tooting how awesome #phosh is
Its the #librem5 and (sometimes) #pinephone home screen and just plain works. Launch/kill apps, no prob. Add shortcuts, no prob. Notifications, no prob. etc
How discouraging would it be if the phone’s “center” wasn’t solid as you fuss about trying all these non-mobile apps. It isn’t “why” you use a phone but it is integral to how.
As I understand it, this is largely @agx 's work. So here’s a thanks to you and the whole phosh crew for advancing mobile linux!
@someunexpectedsparks thanks for the kind words! There's way more contributors to #phosh than just me though, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/blob/master/debian/changelog for the full list!

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the #librem5 with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like #wifi attached and being able to swap components quickly. Today i got an idea and it works fairly well. I can even flip the whole thing around fairly quickly to measure on the other side and put the whole thing away to free space on the desk:
@purism and here's @merge 's update for #linux 5.9 /5.10 https://puri.sm/posts/purism-and-linux-5-9-and-5-10/
@linmob that's perfectly fine - you should do what you enjoy! 🚀 Thanks for your videos so far!
@linmob with that argument demoing distros would also be moot since that's also simple. I think the point is to show how things work, what the current workarounds are and what to do (even when simple).
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.
