@dperson @devrtz The toggle also works on byzantium (that's where I've taken the screenshot).

I had already disabled automatic HighContrast in #phosh but the last days were so ☀️ that I flipped it on again.

Thankfully this doesn't need any `gsettings set sm.puri.phosh automatic-high-contrast true` anymore but can be done conveniently in the mobile-setting's sensor panel added by @devrtz in 0.29.0.

@eliasr I assume at a later point there will be calls for upgrade and alpha / beta testing.

@eliasr You can check the issues tagged crimson in PureOS bug tracker and see if something sparks your interest but I'd say most things need a spare device to test on (there's little things left that can sensibly be done in e.g. a VM).

@eliasr I don't think anybody is doing the backporting to byzantium atm. Crimson has recent packages (but I wouldn't recommend Crimson for every day phone usage yet). For experiments `l5-fetch-next phosh` gives you current phosh (+next patches) on byzantium (that's what I'm using to run recent phosh on my daily device).

@dan …if you can control the messaging protocols of people you talk to. That often works but not always.

(If we could all have agreed on XMPP 10y ago the world would maybe be a better place 😃 )

@julianfairfax @deedend @devrtz @purism (what you call) "Bigger players" are just slow. They will adapt eventually as the toolkits bubble up.

@claudi awesome! Glad it's working for you and thanks for sharing the details so others can follow in your footsteps.

@julianfairfax @deedend @devrtz @purism

Linux wasn't a "desktop" platform to begin with either so that argument doesn't make sense.

Linux is what we make out of it by contributing to the solution. The Linux kernel has the capability to run well on mobile. We have mobile shells and adaptive toolkits and devices that can run them well. We need to continue to grow the app ecosystem and work on infrastructure bits sure but this very thread proves that this is happening at a nice pace.

@deedend @devrtz @purism I'd try https://forums.puri.sm/ . I've also posted a message to the community/librem5 matrix channel linking to this post

@julianfairfax @deedend @devrtz @purism Both webkit (used in epiphany / GNOME Web) and chromium engines target mobile so while I prefer native apps too we shouldn't overlook that years of optimization for mobile went into these browser engines so they can run efficiently on phones. So I'd not dismiss webapps so easily.

@julianfairfax @deedend @devrtz @purism hydrogen works well for matrix and resource usage is o.k. in chromium. I've heard similar things for signal.

Also "neither are ready" needs references on what's missing - it depends on usage pattern. Native apps like flare or chatty are making good progress. Also if it's not an option for you it might be an option for others.

It also depends on how important a switch is for someone (I myself just can't imagine running around with an Android phone).

@chanon @deedend @devrtz @purism Wikipedia says 15mm and that's pretty accurate. It never was 1inch - in wonder where these numbers come from?

@deedend @devrtz @purism Australia is big but I know there's folks there with Librem 5s so maybe a meetup style thing is possible at one point.

Only downside is that the keyboard doesn't unfold itself due to the lack of text-input-unstable-v3 in chromium but unfolding via button works.

@wandy_dev Regarding webapps: Have you tried chromium? I usually:

- use the "Install <site>…" from within chromium
- Add "--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" to the desktop file in .local/share/applications
- launch the webapp and (if needed) open phosh-mobile-settings to "enable scale to fit" for this particular webapp

Although setup is cumbersome it
it gives me good performance.
