Guido Günther @agx@librem.one

@dylanvanassche I hope not (and haven't heard anyting like that). I just want some features like editing posts and local timeline which this instance currently doesn't offer.

agx was already taken on fosstodon so with a #ruhri background I'll move my #fediverse presence to https://ruhr.social/deck/@agx . Hope to see you there.

I'll set up the account move as well in a couple of days but as that has a 30d cooling off period let's see if things work out over there.

🙏 for the service #libremone !

…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for October 24:

#LinuxMobile #phosh #debian #gnome #sigxcpu

@haui Is that #squeekboard? There were some changes that for non text-input based clients. Could you file a bug at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/squeekboard ?

@thejackimonster Oh, that's bad. Iotas saves things *without* even having to hit "save".

@erebion For packaging `/usr/share/initramfs-tools/`, for local system configuration `/etc/initfamfs-tools`. Check e.g. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2

@badrihippo @phosh The sailfish fork is "drop in" (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/127) so there's (at least initially) not much C/GTK involved. It is basically building against a self built libpresage2 instead of the libpresage in Debian and tweaking the presage config XML.
Even that can be a challenge when being new to all of this but at least one doesn't need to worry about that many things in parallel.

@WeAreFairphone Replacement parts arrived now so things were pretty fast *after* the initial quiet period.

@badrihippo @phosh The #sailfishos folks made some changes to #presage (https://github.com/sailfish-keyboard/presage) so maybe before coding too much checking out their improvements makes sense?

@fossdd Yes, that would be awesome but I'm currently hesitant picking up yet another project.

@ibrahim I'm usually resorting to Debian Trixie here. It has both p-o-s in and squeekboard, you can switch between them via `update-alternatives`. Keeping the scale is a one time change in `/etc/phosh/phoc.ini` (would be nice if that would be remembered but noone got to implementing that in a clean way yet)

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/iotas is great for note taking / lists and gnome-text-editor for generic text. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about saving to a file.

@badrihippo @phosh I'm not aware of a presage cli tool that could be used in a shell pipeline which would then work to chain that and fzf together via the pipe completer. That cli would need to read json or similar as you not only need preedit but also the surrounding text.

It should be doable with not too much effort, needs some coding (both the cli tool and then the p-o-s side to feed the surrounding text to the pipe completer too).

With the fixes made in the last #phosh release and those in flight for 0.43 regarding on screen keyboard, text input, text completion and copy/paste together with small app fixes here and there I'm really starting to enjoy text input on mobile and grab the phone more often although the laptop is nearby.

I consider that a good sign 😃

@badrihippo @phosh Testing of the nightly packages is always welcome (as they shape up the next Phosh release).

There's not necessarily a need to flash as they mix well with Debian/Mobian Trixie (it behaves basically like Debian Experimental) - but booting from SD and adding the nightly repo would put you on the safe side.

@badrihippo @phosh and there's https://flathub.org/apps/org.adishatz.Screenshot which works with phosh right away (and which could be packaged for Debian too asi it has few dependencies)

@badrihippo @phosh @zachdecook Funny enough the background thing is rather more involved than lots of other things we did recently but it helped cleaning up lots of things.

Regarding screenshots: phosh's nightly builds (https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-nightly/) ship a gnome-screenshot with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/merge_requests/69 applied but we should move the UI bits into phosh eventually so we can have timers, etc as you mentioned.

@badrihippo @phosh @zachdecook I think shift should already work with the one on the keyboard. At least I've checked `<ctrl>` (from the shortcuts bar) and <shift>c` from the osk layout.

We might a need a minor fix to combine it with other shortcuts from the shortcuts bar so you can have `<ctrl>c` as shortcut and when you select `<shift>` first it gives you `<ctrl><shift>c`.

Thanks for pointing this out!

There's also some intro videos that show how to configure haptic at https://phosh.mobi/videos/

You get there via the "Phosh Tour" app. The "Getting started" at the end takes you to https://phosh.mobi/gettingstarted/ which then takes you to the videos. They can also be subscribed to via https://phosh.mobi/videos/index.xml

The videos are also mirrored on youtube for folks that fancy that over a website (https://www.youtube.com/@PhoshMobi) and want to subscribe there.
