This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.
Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

This week I will be on a conference in Italy only using the #Librem5.
The last few weeks with the L5 gave me enough confidence that I think this should work.
Thanks to the lockscreen PDF plugin train and conference tickets are quickly accessible, all my email accounts from work I can access with Geary and the camera is good enough to take notes of some slides.

@kop316 @marcellinusme Also an important point to some of us: AOSP is open-source, but its development is quite locked down, and only serves Google's interests... Working on a Linux-based distro gives developers more leverage to contribute and shape the ecosystem in a way that benefits the community, rather than one single company

While at that I put notifications and media player widget into the same
scrolled window and have that use more vertical space so things are (hopefully) less clumsy to use.

While one could get back to an ongoing call on #phosh's lockscreen by swiping
to the right it wasn't clear if there was still a call ongoing. This will be
improved by showing a notification on the lockscreen making it hard to miss (and which we can likely also use to switch between calls once the calls app supports it):

Simplifying audio device selection in #phosh (which also needs a tweak in #pipewire to get nice icons on #LinuxMobile too):

Mit einer Freie-Software-Office- und Kollaborations-Suite für Behörden will die Bundesregierung den Zielen des Koalitionsvertrags näher kommen. Doch ein genauerer Blick auf das Projekt wirft Fragen auf.

Biggest downside of running #phosh on my phone and laptop: you sometimes try to swipe away notifications on the laptop although it's not a touchscreen 😜 - just happened again .

#OpenCL was added to https://mesamatrix.net/ :3
thanks Nora!
The transition between the normal and HC theme is now supported by an animation making it less surprising (video is at 2 x speed):

@devrtz added a sensor panel to mobile-settings that allows you to enable automatic HC and tweak the threshold at which ambient light intensity it kicks in:

It's summer on the northern hemisphere again 😎 so #phosh's automatic high contrast mode got two updates that are already merged and hence will very likely be in 0.29.0:

Debian's image building server has 88 CPUs along with 384GB of fast RAM and over 8TB SSD storage. Even so, each DVD-sized image takes approximately 90 minutes to complete and 20 are done at a time in parallel #ReleasingDebianBookworm #Debian #Debian12

And this is how it looks on a device with notch. Also enabled PHOC_DEBUG=cutouts so phoc renders the bounding box of these.
