@zrzz@emacs.ch Right. I'm in the "screen" camp where this is useful too.

@BrianA @WeAreFairphone Thanks for the hint. I need good noise canceling. From what I've read this isn't the case for these?

you can also see @arunmani 's work on improved quick setting in the picture above and here's a quick demo (already landed on main):

Eugenio (@g7) has contributed accent color support to (we're targeting 0.43.0):

By popular demand -osk-stub now also allows to add plain `alt` and `ctrl` to the terminals shortcuts bar. This makes usage with complex key combos easier (I'm looking at you ):

@dos -osk-stub would have way fewer features if this bug would have been merged sooner 😃
Glad Moonlight12 picked up maintenance, it's really starting to make a difference usability wise.

Hi All,

I recently got a few Meshtastic devices, but was sad to see there is no Linux based GUI for it (though an excellt Python CLI library/App). So I rolled up my sleeves and make a basic GUI in GTK4/Libadwaita! I think it turned out pretty well.

If you test it out and find bugs, please let me know!

I've been experimenting with @agx 's phosh-osk-keyboard , and hacked together a script to automatically change the shortcuts based on the window titles.

It's time for your newest FOSSphones news roundup! As usual, the same page will also be posted on our gemini capsule.

@me a nice feature of SMS is that you can put the metadata into the SMS so one can e.g. just fetch that one single message in matrix (once chatty supports this, l already added support to libcmatrix)

@me Nice write up.

To wake up the phone one can also do `ntfy <topic> send-sms.sh` and then mark the number that sends the SMS as silent in .

The SMS can be sent from the UP server via an old phone or via services like text-belt.

(that's what I'm using atm to get my devices to sleep longer).

@awai I could be a hint that not even Google thinks that Android is still Linux 😃 (and/or they don't have much confidence in vendor kernels)

Ich habe mal wieder ein paar Vortragsfolien für das Web konvertiert. Der Vortrag war am 1. Oktober bei der Deutschen Rentenversicherung und geht um Cloud Computing. Viel Spaß! blog.fefe.de/?ts=99f76772

@badrihippo @agx
I usually get 'hey' for hey swipes, but sometimes hwy/hgwy. Enable multiple suggestions, and maybe cull some words from your list.

gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Completers.Pipe command 'sh -c "swipeGuess /path/to/words-qwerty-en_gb 5 | tr \"\t\" \"\n\""'

@badrihippo No need to restart the shell, just restart (kill) the keyboard (otherwise development would be way too cumbersome).
