And here's what we could do for copy. Put that into an extra MR for now so we can check whether it's predictive enough for the user what is being copied (while the paste bits from above can already land for 0.42).
Note that this is orthogonal to what an app/UI toolkit offers for copy/paste (via context menus or drag handles) already.

Copy / paste can be fiddly on mobile. I opened an MR today to make the paste part a bit easier in phosh-osk-stub (another old branch finally cleaned up into a (hopefully) mergeable state):
Good news everyone! Geoclue 2.7.2 is out.
Now for the bad news: Although alternatives exist, the shutdown of Mozilla Location Services (#MLS) basically crippled #Geoclue for devices without a GPS.
Help is on the way though, code for a GeoIP location source is being developed, and it should make it easy to add different providers. Please see the MR here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/186
Testing, comments, patches and suggestions for GeoIP providers are welcome!

@me Good news: Fractal (and other clients) don't need to use feedbackd directly. They just needs to set the `im.received` `category` on the notification: (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/latest/categories.html) and #phosh handles the details.
This is supported by about all notification client libs (libnotify, glib/gio (https://docs.gtk.org/gio/method.Notification.set_category.html)
Maybe file an issue with Fractal for that? Given that Fractal uses glib/gio it's a one line change.
@craftyguy @newbyte I assume the crash is in qemu-user-static ? This is o.k. to debug as you can run the built static binary right from your built qemu tree. When debugging the reverse (a arm64 binary crashing on amd64) QEMU_STRACE was very useful: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/user/main.html
Looking for more internship project ideas for Outreachy (December-March cohort)
GNOME is interested in participating in the Outreachy December-March cohort, and while we already have a few great projects, we are looking for experienced mentors with a couple more project ideas. Hurry up, we have until September 11 to conclude our list of ideas.
Please, submit project ideas on https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/internship/project-ideas
Feel free to message us on #internships:gnome.org (matrix) if you have any doubts.

@bragefuglseth good point, that was supposed to go around the list box only and I added the search entry later on. Should be better now. Thanks!
One thing that bugged me is that we had no way in #phosh to present only the available OSK layouts to the user to pick from. This led to confusion as users configured a layout which then would not be available later on. phosh-osk-stub can now provide that information to mobile settings (and it will be simple to add support for e.g. squeekboard if it dumps out the relevant information).
Thanks to #libadwaita and #GTK4's list models such things are fun to add.
@matt can the versions used for gtk4-rs be a sensible baseline? That isn't easy to package for Debian either but so far Debian's Rust maintainers always got it in.
