@SheDrivesMobility Das habe ich mal im Halteverbot vor dem Freiburger Bahnhof gesehen. Die Polizei hat den Fahrer darauf aufmerksam gemacht, das er im Halteverbot steht: "Das macht dann 30 Euro". Der Fahrer: "Aber ich hab doch den Warnblinker an". Der Polizist: "Gut, dann 50 Euro". 😃
...for my usage pattern the fact that mpv can now successfully disable the screensaver is the most notable improvement in this release 📺 .
Carlos García wrote about the evolution of accelerated compositing in #WebKitGTK, and how we are transitioning towards using DMA-BUF for graphics buffer sharing—simplifying code along the way: https://blogs.igalia.com/carlosgc/2023/04/03/webkitgtk-accelerated-compositing-rendering/
phosh 0.26.0 is out 🚀📱:
Lots of this release was internal rewiring and test suite improvements for upcoming changes but there's some more:

@rra If you think it's a hw accel problem try `
`export WLR_RENDERER; WLR_RENDERER=pixman ` in /usr/bin/phosh-session
@biktorgj @dylanvanassche @kop316 @eliasr Interesting! That would help for a lot of things already. For some things we'll need a femtocell but for testing the software side (including MM) that would be great. Any chance to have that for the #librem5 modem too? (As I have those around 😃 )
@eliasr I implemented emergency call support in #GNOME call's dummy provider so you can test all the software side bits in calls and phosh except for really dialing out.
Implementing a "dummy modem" in ModemManager would allow us to test that path too (any takers?).
For actual end to end I know two ways: either your own gps cell or a place/provider where it's easy to test. I know of this one in Austria https://notrufnoe.com/notrufrouting/ but links to other locations would be welcome too.
@whynothugo Not yet, that needs a bit more work on the compositor side.
The first bits of emergency call support landed in #gnome calls 44 so that Thomas's emergency call work (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/904) can hopefully land soon.
With the groundwork done in #phosh 0.25 and the (upcoming) 0.26 to move power button handling from the compositor (#phoc) to the shell (phosh) we'd have the bits in place to wire up a long press menu for e.g. emergency calls, screenshots, etc.
This certainly needs styling but it'd be nice to see the first bits in 0.27. I became used to it pretty quickly.
I met someone else on campus who has a #librem5
I think this qualifies for the highest concentration of L5's/campus.
@martijnbraam I think things are just split a bit differently (e.g. `dpkg --set-selections`, `apt-mark auto`, etc). An upside of apk to me seems that you have *one* interface rather than dpkg, apt, apt-get, aptitude.
@martijnbraam If it's installation speed (and not download speed) and you don't care about integrity on e.g. power outages then `eatmydata apt <whatever>` might help.
@linmob @dos @williamtries@fosstodon.org it's contained in l5-devscripts, which is actually tiny with very few dependencies. It *recommends* a lot of things to make developing for the l5 easier but that can be skipped, see apt-get --no-install-recommends ...). This is similar in spirit to Debian's devscripts package.

phosh 0.25.2 is out 🚀📱:
This is a bugfix only release to fix a regression on the #PinePhone. #Librem5 is not affected . While at that we backport some fixes in #phosh. Thanks QC8086 and airtower for testing!
