NEW POST: It's now been a year since The Muskover, what does my use of social media look like now, both as a reader and a writer?

Thanks to the stellar work of Arjan Molenaar, the pygobject bindings have been dramatically improving over the past month. Now Python developers can finally use instances of fundamental types, which was one of the big blockers for people implementing custom widgets with GTK4.
Starting with the GNOME 46 run time, you'll be able to do advanced custom drawing using render nodes, as well as accessing low level windowing system event objects.
@linmob Enjoy vacation!
We hit bug number #1000 in #phosh: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1000
(and it's surprisingly not phone related)
@devrtz @postmarketOS @kop316 @mobian @awai
Rock on pmOS and Mobian and thanks a lot for the shout-out 😍
@FineFindus did you check ~/.var/app and ~/.local/share/flatpak ? It even puts more stuff in $HOME over here 😄
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 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.
