DebConf23 starts today in Kochi! https://bits.debian.org/2023/09/debconf23-starts-today.html #debian #debconf #debconf23 #freesoftware #dc23 #kochi #debconfkochi #debianindia
@usia On PureOS / Debian / Mobian you just use
update-alternatives --config Phosh-OSK
On other systems you can just install to /usr/local and it will be picked up as it puts a `sm.puri.OSK0.desktop` in place there by default.
That said there's lots of things that phosh-osk-stub doesn't do so make sure you can switch back.
@LibreOfficeDE
Sieht spannend aus. Wird es das auch für freie Betriebssysteme auf Mobiltelefonen (z.B. mit #Phosh/#GNOME oder #PlasmaMobile) geben?
@usia …and at scale 1.75 (again without phosh and completion disabled):
2️⃣ /2️⃣
@leimon I didn't upload phosh-osk-stub (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub) to Byzantium as I don't consider it production ready (it fits my personal use cases though). Older versions are in Octarine and recent ones are in Pureos Crimson and Debian testing. It builds and runs on Byzantium fine though (I'm using `l5-fetch-next phosh-osk-stub` to install it there).
People had different theories why phosh-osk-stub woudn't use the whole display width on wider displays so I was buckling up for a full afternoon of debugging sizing issues but as it turns out after a couple of minutes we were just missing a tightening-threshold in a HdyClamp: Rest of the afternoon saved thanks to #gtk inspector 🎉
phosh 0.31.0 is out 🚀📱:
Lots of fixes in #phoc ➕ better xdg-activation ➕ less CPU usage ➕ animations on tiling/max
#phosh now supports the tablet-mode of convertibles (based on work by Jonathan Hall)
p-m-s allows to configure the notification priority for waking up the screen (thanks to Suraj Kumar Mahto).
libcall-ui switched to GTK4 thanks to @antonok.
Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.31.0/
#phosh #librem5 @purism #gnome #linux #mobile #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux
@suguru I'd also appreciate feedback for https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/34 - there's lose ends to fix in the UI but that would be rather simple once we're sure it's heading the right way.

Today's dpkg 1.22.0 upload enables new toolchain hardening build flags which will ultimately land in Debian trixie (packages need a rebuild to pick up the new flags, but the vast majority will see an upload or rebuild before the eventual stable release):
- On amd64 it enables Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_integrity#Intel_Control-flow_Enforcement_Technology)
- On arm64 it enables Branch Target Identification
- On amd64 and all ARMs -fstack-clash-protection is enabled (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Instrumentation-Options.html#index-fstack-clash-protection)

I am happy to announce the release of Portfolio 1.0.0!
@amadeus @opensourceseeds And you can put the bee breeding for the pollination of those plants under an open source license too: https://www.apimondia.org/latest/open-source-license-to-enable-the-conservation-and-sustainable-use-of-bee-genetic-resources

@MissBehave If I had a 2nd chance with mine I'd have practiced gluing on the panel with hot glue before actually doing it. (E.g. using the old panel and glueing it to a flat surface multiple times).
Also for remving: I'm usually too cautious when it comes to applying heat but only if the glue is really hot you can peel of the old display "easily".

The #bananui toolkit for #FeaturePhones now has some documentation: https://obp.abscue.de/bananui/bananui
This is just the very beginning so it's still incomplete. Feel free to report problems and suggest improvements! And if you're interested, try writing an application that uses bananui and tell me how far you get...

Some exciting news:
With the help of a tester (thanks kyeh!), #mobilelinux though vvmd/vvmplayer ( https://gitlab.com/kop316/vvmplayer ) finally supports Visual Voicemail on all major US carriers!
If you have an MVNO on any of the major carrier, you should be able to easily check if the parent settings work for you. If they do, *please* make an MR in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info so we can officially support more carriers!

People think that "It's OK for people to just want technology to work" (which it is) is like saying "It's OK for people to not know things" (which it is). But to the extent that they're saying it to argue against technologists advocating for open technology, it's humanity-defeating and just a fucking strawman.
The technologists are complaining about abusive designs that manipulate people by making the path of least resistance the one that, for example, destroys the concept of privacy.
When you respond to that with "well not everybody needs to understand everything," What you're actually saying is "It's OK for people to be MANIPULATED into maintaining their ignorance."
These companies have worked very hard to create a culture where computers are magic boxes to most people, so the vast majority of users remain vulnerable. You're not countercultural for thinking that's a good thing. You're a fucking mark.
