"Mobile-zombie-free zone" sign spotted at a playground in #Rålambshovsparken in #Stockholm recently.
Ironically that made me pick up my own phone to take this photo, acting like another of those infamous zombies. In my defense I did not actually enter the playground, so strictly speaking I did not violate the sanctity of the mobile-zombie-free zone. Also, the phone (#Librem5 yay!) was back in pocket directly without further zombie-like behaviour. 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5
A big thanks to Megapixels contributors :)

#gmobile 0.2.0 is out 🚀 . This version adds the udev rules and first hwdb entries to mark keys and buttons as not unblanking the screen on press (like volume rockers or menu/back capacitive buttons).
phoc 0.39.0 will make use of this. We moved things into a library rather than phoc itself so other compositors can make use of it too.

@okennedy 🚀 Awesome! Seeing more and more use cases working is great.
Disappointed to see The Markup share advice for people to use WhatsApp in its post about preparing your phone for a protest, and that it's coming from "digital security trainers."
Metadata literally kills, and WhatsApp is swimming in it. The metadata they collect includes:
Groups you're a member of, location, personal info (email, phone number, user IDs), contacts and their phone numbers, in-app search history, when you use the app & how often you use it. E2EE alone doesn't guarantee #privacy
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (18/2024): News on #SailfishOS and #PlasmaMobile

It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.
I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).
Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.
Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅
Lately I’ve been really hooked to #balatro.
I found out it uses the #löve2d engine, and I remembered something about Löve games being unintentionally cross platform.
And here we are: Balatro running natively on #linuxmobile (OP6 + #postmarketos + #phosh )
To run:
* Copy Steam game files from other PC using manage/browse local files
* Install Löve `sudo apt install love`
* Run the game `love Balatro.exe`
I've tagged a new release of mobile-broadband-provider-info:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info/-/releases/20240407
It has updated providers, support for mms attachment size and we switched the build system to meson.
@matk I'd still listen to their points (as they might be insightful for further developing the standards or to bring them back on board) but wouldn't let a NACK from them block a change if those still developing the spec find it useful.
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for April:

@pavel phosh or rather phoc is pretty lightweight in that regard. I'd try a terminal like foot on the PP.
On the Librem5 the issue is that we don't use the advanced features of the external display controller (DCSS) like texture comression (which is a driver limitation in the kernel / mesa) so memory bandwidth becomes tight when driving both displays and hence things can become laggy.
Laptop died yesterday but thanks to the #Librem5, the Baseus Dock, an HDMI Screen, a USB keyboard and #Phosh's docked mode I have access to most of the things via my phone.
#nitrokey helps a lot as that means I have my ssh keys available by just plugging it in.
Took me about 15min to notice that I didn't even plug a mouse in.
#AppStream 1.0.3 is out 😄
It mostly consists of bugfixes and a bunch of additions to the validator to make it catch even more issues in advance. "Plasma Mobile" is also a recognized desktop-style now.

Very, very happy that our proposal for adding #cellbroadcast support to #ModemManager and #Phosh was accepted by @NGIZero : https://nlnet.nl/project/SMS-CB 🗼 〰️ 📱
