"Ultimately the Librem 5 phone lets you take your regular workflow with you while also keeping you in contact with your friends and family."

@purism Built a simple virtual mouse for using virtual-pointer protocol so i can navigate the pointer on the external screen attached to the without having a physical mouse attached. Useful for e.g. presentations when you only connect a beamer.

To ensure your app appears in the Librem 5 PureOS Store, specify the form factors it supports in its Appstream metainfo and desktop entry: adrienplazas.com/blog/2020/10/

Julia Reda fordert einen Europäischen Open Technology Fund: "Wir müssen viele verschiedene, langfristig angelegte Förderstrukturen für #OpenSource-Technologien aufbauen, für sichere und ungefilterte Kommunikation."

Es ist "von enormer Wichtigkeit #FreieSoftware Komponenten über lange Zeiträume instand zu halten, stetig zu verbessern und laufend auf Schwachstellen zu überprüfen."

"Und die Ausgestaltung des Programms muss in den Händen der Zivilgesellschaft liegen."

0.4.5 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

This one adds a torch/flashlight quick setting, improves support for external screens and switches to structured logging. There's also a rather long list of internal fixes as well as translation updates (thanks a lot for that)!

@purism

@purism This is just a quick hack so far but we can now use 's future 'docked' mode to only display 'adaptive' apps when undocked and all apps when docked based on their desktop file information:

@purism While fixing related issues in , and the kernel for the I wanted things to be more automatic. So can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:

#osk-sdl unlocking a LUKS rootfs running PureOS on the #purism #librem5 devkit.

osk-sdl is an initramfs touchscreen keyboard made originally for postmarketOS, for unlocking a LUKS rootfs on touchscreen devices with no physical keyboards.

The long unlocking time is due to the rootfs being encrypted on a big core desktop system (see `man 8 cryptsetup` /--iter-time)

Til the GTK inspector has a env to set the display called GTK_INSPECTOR_DISPLAY.

Switched to (plus some hacks until i have all pakages uploaded) on my . That's way closer and it already works quite well:

0.4.4 is out 🚀 : source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-

Besides lots of new translations and i18n improvements this release switches to libhandy 1.0 and makes the wwan signal strength indicator work for too (contributed by &t). We also expanded the developer docs (honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/phos) and @zbrown made some internal cleanups.

@purism

Less hacks when driving an external screen with the : you can see how the monitor picks up the video signal when the yellow led on the external screen turns to blue and the external mouse is detected when the cursor appears on 's lock screen in the upper left corner (and yes, i need better video equipment):

Heute ist #Warntag - Leider ist die Warnapp #NINA nicht als #FreieSoftware veröffentlicht, wir arbeiten für eine Öffnung.

Bis dahin kann man auf das inoffizielle Freie-Software-Projekt #FediNINA ausweichen:

@purism …and here's a quick Quake II demo using the docked via usb-c (audio is from L5's built in speaker) - might be a bit more exciting than running (which also works):

Nour E-Din worked on the integration of EteSync with Evolution - GNOME’s suite for managing your emails, contacts, and schedule. EteSync allows you to synchronize Calendars, Contacts & Tasks securely across your devices. See how they did it by reading their final GSoC report!

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉

We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉
