It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.
I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).
Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.
Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via #syncthing to #phosh's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅

Lately I’ve been really hooked to #balatro.
I found out it uses the #löve2d engine, and I remembered something about Löve games being unintentionally cross platform.
And here we are: Balatro running natively on #linuxmobile (OP6 + #postmarketos + #phosh )
To run:
* Copy Steam game files from other PC using manage/browse local files
* Install Löve `sudo apt install love`
* Run the game `love Balatro.exe`
I've tagged a new release of mobile-broadband-provider-info:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info/-/releases/20240407
It has updated providers, support for mms attachment size and we switched the build system to meson.
@matk I'd still listen to their points (as they might be insightful for further developing the standards or to bring them back on board) but wouldn't let a NACK from them block a change if those still developing the spec find it useful.
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for April:

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (17/2024): Funding for Cell Broadcasting support

@pavel phosh or rather phoc is pretty lightweight in that regard. I'd try a terminal like foot on the PP.
On the Librem5 the issue is that we don't use the advanced features of the external display controller (DCSS) like texture comression (which is a driver limitation in the kernel / mesa) so memory bandwidth becomes tight when driving both displays and hence things can become laggy.
Laptop died yesterday but thanks to the #Librem5, the Baseus Dock, an HDMI Screen, a USB keyboard and #Phosh's docked mode I have access to most of the things via my phone.
#nitrokey helps a lot as that means I have my ssh keys available by just plugging it in.
Took me about 15min to notice that I didn't even plug a mouse in.

#AppStream 1.0.3 is out 😄
It mostly consists of bugfixes and a bunch of additions to the validator to make it catch even more issues in advance. "Plasma Mobile" is also a recognized desktop-style now.

Very, very happy that our proposal for adding #cellbroadcast support to #ModemManager and #Phosh was accepted by @NGIZero : https://nlnet.nl/project/SMS-CB 🗼 〰️ 📱
@pocketvj @phosh @arunmani Yes, the display stack and Wayland compositor need support for it. Sway supports it so wlsunset (https://sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/wlsunset/) should already work.
@highvoltage Thank you for all those years!

Nice list! phosh (available on pmOS, danctnix and arch on your list) takes donations too: https://liberapay.com/Phosh/
@phosh I've recently refreshed the gnome-clocks feedbackd patches (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/gnome-clocks/-/commits/lfb) but it needs a bit more work before it can be proposed upstream.
