The #feedbackd #Rust bindings are now available on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/libfeedback
@argv_minus_one I guess besides being lucky and getting a cheap used (or maybe never used because it didn't meet expectations) device there's little options atm. I hope prices go down as adoption grows.
@argv_minus_one pinephone falls into the same category.
Whenever I have to deal with #LinuxMobile on devices that formerly ran android I realize how super simple things like flashing and debugging are on the #Librem5 compared to that.
No odd partition schemes, no super sensitive boot loader that gives up on the first glitch. Just #uboot and if all else fails #jumpdrive.
@paoloredaelli @luana @pavel 😃
Waydroid does run apk but I assume you need access to a smart card reader? Haven't tried that.
@paoloredaelli @luana @pavel At least for the L5 I can say there's lots of potential for improvements (leveraging the M4 core, suspend more, freeze background processes, …). There's limitations compared to the heavily mobile optimized SoCs of today but it should be possible to get into an o.k. state "out of the box".
Regarding CIE (e.g. cie-middleware) so looks like yet another a project for someone to pick up.
@luana @pavel Battery live is either short or (with suspend) the phone won't yet wake up on e.g. incoming Matrix/XMPP messages (but wakes up fine on e.g. incoming calls / SMS).
We have lots of things to make the user experience nicer on the phosh side and some gaps like e.g. Android Auto, Cellbroadcast support or nice BT integration but things make steady progress.
2️⃣ /2️⃣
@luana Using a #Librem 5 with #phosh (on #Debian based distros) since several years. All the common bits (phone calls, SMS, mobile data, GPS positioning, proximity and orientations sensors, leds, haptic feedback, cameras, …) etc work.
The app ecosystem (as mentioned in this thread) is growing and has nice options already. Camera usage has some quirks (userspace / app limitations) but there's 3A (thanks @pavel) so "point and shoot".
1️⃣ /2️⃣
@purism Nice you like the release but wouldn't it be better to boost https://fosstodon.org/@phosh/112445825369450917 rather than copy the message verbatim?

#LinuxMobile #Shift8 #PinePhone #Librem5 #UbuntuTouch #SailfishOS #postmarketOS #gmobile #Megapixels
I needed #Rust bindings for an app to interact with #feedbackd to submit #haptic feedback. Here's the generated bindings for libfeedback in case someone else needs it too:

"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

#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
