I ever so often close the 🎵- player and when grabbing the 📱 I'd have to unlock it to just start the 🎵 player and then 🔒 the 📱 right away again (as there's #mpris controls on the 🔒-screen then anyway).
Hence I wrote a small #phosh plugin to add arbitrary "launchers" to the 🔒-screen via a desktop file.
This is very simplistic atm (as we e.g. don't track app-state) but gets the job done initially.
I only used it for that purpose but there's other potential use cases:

@arunmani for Debian I'd put phoc / wlroots git snapshots into experimental. Distros would likely ship phoc versions based on stable wlroots anyway. We can then work from there with wlroots upstream on releases hopefully sharing some of the load.
@awai Having a phosh and phoc version that runs against latest wlroots (or latest set of libraries in particular) certainly makes things a lot easier (and helps us to e.g. transition away from deprecated protocols and APIs sooner, etc). We accumulated quiet a bit of cruft since not doing that anymore (which is mostly cleaned up now but I don't want to do it again 😄 )
@drewdevault@fosstodon.org Getting more involved with wlroots development again was one of the ideas behind this.
After lots of cleanup over the past #phoc releases I'm inclined to switch #phoc's main branch to track #wlroots git rather than the latest stable version as I can then catch up with new wlroots features faster. Stable releases would then be cut from a wlroots-0.xy branch tracking the stable wlroots version. Good idea?

Just in time for my talk on #Mobian at https://kochi2023.mini.debconf.org I got screen sharing working with Jitsi Meet, Firefox and Phosh on #Debian Trixie. So I can show a demo of Mobian on the big screen easily from a laptop. There is also the option of connecting USB C to HDMI adapter, but I don't have one.

I scrolled down in phosh today to fast-launch the settings app and change my audio output device, when I noticed a little button next to the volume slider. I pressed it and what do you know, phosh added a handy little input/output audio device selector when I wasn't looking!
@Luigi311 I think I''m seeing you in community/librem5 already so nvm.
@Luigi311 Matrix rooms are invite only due to spam. What's your matrix handle?

Working on a video to promote the #Librem14 by @purism. We have put together that setup to showcase some professional features of the laptop.
Yes, that is #Kdenlive running on 3 screens! The perfect setup for VFX and color grading work! I love that software and I love that laptop! Both my daily drivers... and now with the big screens 😉
@francois Looks like you have a *very* clean desk policy 😃
All true but that doesn't invalidate my argument. You could:
- contact interested parties that could do the work
- see if they have time to do the work in a self organized fashion
- kick off the campaign, do the promoting that is needed etc
Basically lower the barrier for this to happen.
If you think it's a good idea why not just organize a crowdfunding instead of pushing this in the direction of the Foss Mobile WG?
@awai @gecko @tootbrute @KinmenRisingProject @purism I think this was a bit of a "misunderstanding" between the card vendor and Purism who will look into upstreaming the missing driver bits 😄 (fueled by a takeover of the card vendor by another company)
@zachdecook @cjr @linmob @purism I think there's the wrong term being used in purism's post.
I *think* what is meant is "apps that can connect to your own, self hosted services" rather than forcing you to use "centralized" services from your phone vendor.
