@benpocalypse Nice, https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1206 gives some more vertical space.

@chrichri Yay! Gesichter auch auf dem Telefon verpixelt?

@SheDrivesMobility

Nein, nein, nicht Smartphones sind marktüblich. proprietäre Smartphones mit Google's Android oder Apples iOS sollen angeblich marktüblich sein. Muss halt jeder selber gucken wo seine Daten so bleiben.

Benutzer freier Software, (z.B. #LinuxMobile) gucken komplett in die Röhre.

It's all uploaded to octarine already. When it will reach all librem5 phones depends how well it does there and if any issues come up.

phosh 0.27.0 is out 🚀📱:

This one has a new menu on power button long press, initial emergency calls support (thanks @CoderThomasB, @devrtz), improvements on the compositor side, new completers in phosh-osk-stub, configurable ring tones and more.

Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.27.0/

@calebccff I'm aware that this doesn't help right now but maybe for the future: https://www.dreamsourcelab.com/product/dslogic-series/ has free software tooling.

@danialbehzadi @zachdecook ...well it's not all merged yet 😃

@zachdecook @dperson squeekboard doesn't like to be replaced (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/squeekboard/-/issues/361) . phosh-osk-stub can replace itself though (that's what I'm usually using). If you don't want to use the debian package and `update-alternatives` you can add phosh-osk-stub to /usr/bin/osk-wayland .

@dperson @zachdecook The completer itself will likely make it into #phosh-osk-stub 0.26.0 but the plumbing (disable completion, swiping over characters) needs a bit more time so that won't be in any repos too soon.
Building a Debian package from the Merge request is simple though (as it contains the packaging data). You also need to build and configure swipeGuess.

@baliceauxPelican @zachdecook The possibility for doing that has been available since some time, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/34 (using uim) or
https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/tree/wip/libvarnam (using varnam) - for other completers. Looking forward to someone looking into fcitx or ibus.

@zachdecook What a coincidence 🚀 I have to admit that this was the first time I used swipe input (my previous phone had a hardware keyboard)

@dubstar_04 @zachdecook Swiping the spacebar to position the cursor in unaffected by this as the OSK switches to a different "mode" for that.

- @zachdecook's swipeGuess: https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeGuess
- phosh-osk-stub's pipe completer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/76
- you also need https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/77 to avoid having to lift your finger

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

#LinuxMobile #gtk #gnome #librem5

@JustineSmithies@fosstodon.org #Librem5 with PureOS and #Phosh.see e.g. https://wiki.sigxcpu.org/con/On_a_road_to_Prizren_with_a_Free_Software_Phone.html

@kyle A great read. Thanks!

@kyle 🎉 Congratulations to getting this out!

Is there a "sample chapter" for people to peek at? So one can get a feel about the text to example ratio, typeface, how distro agnostic it is, etc.
