@thibaultamartin I can see many things related to the Librem 5 that could be better (but I can also many, many things that could be worse) and I wouldn't be able to tell where the Librem 5's design driven approach with source code and most of the discussions available in public would have *hurt* that development.
In fact the opposite: without all other things happening in the FOSS Space we'd be in a worse position today and without design hand holding UI/HW it would look very much different.
@thibaultamartin *Please*, *please* check upfront if things are that way on the Librem 5 because of a FOSS culture and what would have been the alternatives. This might just be the transparency paradox.
I can say for sure that engineers weren't in charge of the entirety of a product. There were/are designers, product managers, etc. which were involved upfront (not as an aftermath).

New #umockdev release which records and restores SELinux context for mocked /dev nodes, fixes musl compatibility, build with meson 1.4, and some test fixes.
My #FreeSoftware activities in February (at least the ones I remember): https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Free_Software_Activities_February_2024.html
I kept unlocking the 📱 a lot to check a cars charging status. Using #phosh's launcher-box lockscreen-plugin and the LauncherEntry DBus protocol we can simplify that and have the information easily accessible:

The drm subsystem maintainer tool, affectionately named dim, now supports applying patches and series using b4.
See the two new subcommands, dim b4-shazam and dim b4-shazam-branch.
b4 v0.13 or later is required to properly filter out trailers from CI and build bots.

For those of you interested in our recent video offloading / zero-copy playback work: I quickly put together some #livi #flatpak s to make it easy to test stuff already. Compositor offloading should work on all semi-recent Intel/AMD and a variety of ARM64 devices.
If you trust the sandbox you can get them here:

I expect quite a few people hitting driver bugs, so please help tracking those down :)
Looks like spring is coming: just turned on automatic high contrast in #phosh for the first time this year.
@kirschner @fsfe @floriansnow Great initative. This matters a lot to #LinuxMobile and #Phosh

Are you forced by your #bank to use proprietary #apps? Have a look at background shared on the @fsfe 's discussion list by @floriansnow from a #FreeSoftware angle:
https://lists.fsfe.org/pipermail/discussion/2024-February/013383.html
Florian's questions:
* What's your experience with your bank?
* How do you do your #banking?
* Is there an important angle that I missed?

#AskFedi Anyone know of a good music library manager for Mobile Linux? (esp. Phosh/GNOME)
I like the aesthetic and background playback features of Amberol, but it can't do playlists or scrobble my listens to last.fm. I like the functionality of Lollypop, but it crashes too much and the UI/UX is awful.
Here's my criteria:
- Adaptive for mobile/touch
- Scrobble to last.fm
- Playlists/Artists/Albums
- Background Playback
Also being pretty would be nice.

In preparation for the upcoming #phosh release we've tagged gmobile 0.0.6 https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile/-/releases/v0.0.6
This release adds a number of new devices contributed by @fakeshell
@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.
@andyholmes 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!
