@vantablack Regarding convergence. The compositor used by PureOS stable atm is 6mo old. There's been tons of improvements that make docked mode more feasible. I'm using it on a daily basis and am not aware about any open crash reports in that area atm.

#phosh #phoc

@andyholmes@floss.social Would be great to finally support this for system prompts too https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/-/merge_requests/79

Ideas how to move these forward welcome!

@bilboed @gstreamer We can drop GST_PLAY_USE_PLAYBIN3, in #livi yay!

If you're using #phosh in docked mode a lot and (like me) play videos while doing other things then upcoming changes in #phoc to have apps always-on-top and keybindings to move windows into screen corners might be helpful:

#LinuxMobile #gtk #wlroots

@linmob Just so that no one panics: Even without `GSK_RENDERER=gl` #gtk falls back to that renderer automatically. It prints a warning for every surface though so setting the env var does make sense.

@benedikt That requires setup of yet another count on another payment provider. I've done that now.

@happyborg @Natanox As the problem is pretty big already I think we need to advance on all levels: tech, public awareness, politics and regulations as likely not all of them will be successful 😃

@fdlamotte @EU_Commission It would certainly help if the EU would push into the same direction. Maybe @fsfe can help here?

@digitalRightsNinja @happyborg @Natanox I see even tech savvy people having problems avoiding proprietary app stores and operating systems. And then there's countries where apps are basically the primary payment system.

Many folks are that deep into the problem that they don't even recognize it as one. So even reflection on what's going on will hopefully get us further 😃

@nikodunk I have no illusions about the majority of people - the majority is still buying fossil fueled cars over here too. But if every company would have those options that your bank provides we'd already be in a much better position

Let's get rid of fossil fuels and proprietary end user devices that lock them into a duopoly 😃

@heretical_i Most of the apps are unusable without google play services. Android users are jumping through hoops to get either these or microG running on their Android variant and it scares the hell out of people while everyone can use a web browser.

And then there's people (like me) that run neither Android nor iOS on their phones or folks that don't have a smartphone.

It shouldn't be hit or miss like that for users to avoid the duopoly.

But thanks for mentioning it!
