Read the interview with Guido Günther, a developer at Purism, on how the free and convergent #PureOS system and the #Phosh graphical environment merge the phone and desktop experience into one, and how they benefit mobile device users.

Thanks to the kind work of our volunteer translators, you can also read it in Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.

"Fani: I have seen references about #sustainability in #Librem5. At the #FSFE we are also dealing with sustainability in software. What do you understand as a sustainable technology? [..]

Guido: For me, technology that has been produced with sustainability in mind allows the user to replace software and parts, as well as #repair the device over a long period of time without special equipment. [..] having free drivers is a requirement for sustainability."

@purism and it worked for for the other tickets on the way too 🙂 . Tweaked the UI a bit to use a close button rather than back which looks less confusing.

@okennedy @purism source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/p - you just dump everything into a `~/phosh-ticket-box` folder atm. A real "ticket" app needs to come next as we want more metadata attached so the widget can become more clever.

📱 On my way to and it was the first time I could show the QR code of a train ticket on 's lockscreen to the conductor (had to resort to unlock ➡️ nautilus ➡️ evince so far).

For that I stitched together a lockscren plugin that leverages 's libevince. Hope the other tickets will works just as well tomorrow.

Any good tips what to do in this Thursday evening when located near westbahnhof? I'll stop there on my way to .

It is not the first time this happens and then users are confused about bugs. Sometimes these bugs are known because it is unfinished work. In other cases, it can come from integrating random patches on top of releases. Now it is shipped in the form of a developer release which is advertised as 'look we have a new release'. If you want to test experimental stuff to give feedback upstream, consider to keep it in dev circles instead of social media.

I didn't brag about it here (yet 😉 ) but I'm extremely proud of my latest life achievement: having been granted a #debian Developer account! 🎉

This is due in no small part to my involvement in the wonderful #mobilelinux community, which I'm proud to be a part of.

Let's keep the FLOSS ball rolling!

@hacknorris It's just a usb-c cable that attaches to any USB-C charger. You get it in Simlim Tower in Singapore but should also be able to get it in other consumer it spaces:

@chrichri Sieht nach Liguster aus. Leicht giftig. Alternativen fuer Bienen im Fruehjahr ist Sal-Weider, die kann man auch klein halten und die Bienen freuen sich ueber den ersten Pollen oder Maigloeckenstrauch, der brummt auch ordenlich blueht aber lange nicht so lang wie Liguster.

phosh 0.20.0~beta2 is out 🚀📱 :

It fixes most of the things for 0.20.0 but there's more.

Check out the full release notes at gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p for details.

@purism

phoc 0.21.0~beta1 is now out, improving several aspects of touch gestures in phosh and making scale-to-fit settings apply immediately at runtime. Grab it from gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p

If an application is not adaptive and hence doesn't fit the phone screen under , 's scale-to-fit could help since some time. With the recent phoc release this can happen at runtime and there's a GUI for that now too:
