The small green indicator in the top right corner is supposed to figure out if hardware acceleration is in use (as otherwise your battery is drained quickly).
Packages on flathub are updated.
Completely forget: I've tagged version 0.0.3 of μPlayer (a small video player using #gtk and #gstreamer targeting fullscreen landscape playback on mobile phones) the other day:

@baliceauxPelican In fact we get those from the SIM only atm but custom numbers are on the list (it's something that happens entirely on the calls app side).
Videos are at two times speed.
- Emergency call MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/904
- Power button menu MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1224
(the related #gnome-calls side MRs are already merged, thanks @devrtz)
and this is how it looks when we actually do an emergency call (backed by GNOME call's dummy plugin so the call isn't actually going out). It also shows that things work the same way in the locked and unlocked shell:
Some of the styling for #phosh's long button press menu is now in place (aka merge requests) and things are also tied to the emergency call side.
This is how it looks when emergency call numbers are fetched from the phone's sim card:

A new issue of #ThisWeekInGNOME is now online!
#90 Enabling Feedback

@SheDrivesMobility Das habe ich mal im Halteverbot vor dem Freiburger Bahnhof gesehen. Die Polizei hat den Fahrer darauf aufmerksam gemacht, das er im Halteverbot steht: "Das macht dann 30 Euro". Der Fahrer: "Aber ich hab doch den Warnblinker an". Der Polizist: "Gut, dann 50 Euro". 😃
...for my usage pattern the fact that mpv can now successfully disable the screensaver is the most notable improvement in this release 📺 .

Carlos García wrote about the evolution of accelerated compositing in #WebKitGTK, and how we are transitioning towards using DMA-BUF for graphics buffer sharing—simplifying code along the way: https://blogs.igalia.com/carlosgc/2023/04/03/webkitgtk-accelerated-compositing-rendering/
phosh 0.26.0 is out 🚀📱:
Lots of this release was internal rewiring and test suite improvements for upcoming changes but there's some more:
Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.26.0/

@rra If you think it's a hw accel problem try `
`export WLR_RENDERER; WLR_RENDERER=pixman ` in /usr/bin/phosh-session

It's the Yearly Poll™ time again! Do you use any of the following as a daily driver?
(That is, something you use and bring around with you most days - even if it's not your only mobile device)
If so, what is your experience?
@biktorgj @dylanvanassche @kop316 @eliasr Interesting! That would help for a lot of things already. For some things we'll need a femtocell but for testing the software side (including MM) that would be great. Any chance to have that for the #librem5 modem too? (As I have those around 😃 )
@eliasr I implemented emergency call support in #GNOME call's dummy provider so you can test all the software side bits in calls and phosh except for really dialing out.
Implementing a "dummy modem" in ModemManager would allow us to test that path too (any takers?).
For actual end to end I know two ways: either your own gps cell or a place/provider where it's easy to test. I know of this one in Austria https://notrufnoe.com/notrufrouting/ but links to other locations would be welcome too.
@whynothugo Not yet, that needs a bit more work on the compositor side.
The first bits of emergency call support landed in #gnome calls 44 so that Thomas's emergency call work (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/904) can hopefully land soon.
With the groundwork done in #phosh 0.25 and the (upcoming) 0.26 to move power button handling from the compositor (#phoc) to the shell (phosh) we'd have the bits in place to wire up a long press menu for e.g. emergency calls, screenshots, etc.
This certainly needs styling but it'd be nice to see the first bits in 0.27. I became used to it pretty quickly.
