A weekends quest in finding out how to customize ringtones/sounds on @mobian / the #pinephone and other distros using @purism #feedbackd. Thanks to @agx both for coding it and writing excellent docs from which one could take...
https://sspaeth.de/2021/03/customizing-the-librem5-ringtone/
@linmob https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/264 - ctrl-v with the terminal keyboard is often a workarond.
Those running #PureOS #Byzantium can grab #gstreamer debs from https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/gst-plugins-bad1.0/pipelines/65100 - it's just a backport of the #gstreamer devs upstream work back to 1.18.3.
#webkit (for #epiphany) needed a small patch (https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/273960/webkit) to leverage the #gstreamer work that accelerates #h264 on the #librem5 (https://social.librem.one/@agx/105799071793016596). Resource usage did drop but not as much as i'd expected so there's more debugging needed.
#phosh 0.9.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.9.0
Now supports #GNOME's OSD DBus protocol, indicates microphone hardware kill switch state, fixes around the overview including long-swipes. Requires libhandy >= 1.1.90
@amosbatto at some point yes, but afaik #gstreamer devs are still working on support for that (but they merged Ezequiel Garcia #h264 changes today so it will be part of future gstreamer releases, yay!)

My First Week of Librem 5 Convergence
"I put away my personal Librem 13v1 and tested out whether I could replace it with a Librem 5"
https://puri.sm/posts/my-first-week-of-librem-5-convergence/
@iooioio track https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/328 which will gather the details (or references to those)
@iooioio ...yes, and be smoother (for h264 atm)
@kvuj@fosstodon.org currently git plus patches
@leimon yes, that's why i wanted to get this going with #gstreamer since that's the framwork used by #epiphany/#firefox for video playback.
This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.
Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!
@dukethereal assuming your talking about the #librem5: yes, with the right docking station you can have usb, #DisplayPort over #usb-c and PD-charging at the same time.

I got one more change in for GNOME 40: better tab completion in the file manager! It's bothered me for a while now, so I'm especially excited that I got to improve it: https://www.jwestman.net/2021/02/17/files-tab-complete.html
Huge thanks to @antoniof_gnome@twitter.com
for reviewing this just in time for the release!

#MadeAThing …and a year later @brainblasted finally got it out into the world (Thank You :-) )
Typography is another little “tool-app” from the @gnome Design Tooling Team as a companion to (Colour) Palette offering buttons to copy various css classes/characters you may need in your app/mockup
Along the way we got a couple of gtk4 bugs ironed out, thanks @exalm et al for the help with that
As ever some nice artwork from @tbernard
