Interesting talk by Michael Tretter at #xdc2023 about Wayland shells on embedded systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK2Emqp9t0g&t=14240s
After lots of cleanup over the past #phoc releases I'm inclined to switch #phoc's main branch to track #wlroots git rather than the latest stable version as I can then catch up with new wlroots features faster. Stable releases would then be cut from a wlroots-0.xy branch tracking the stable wlroots version. Good idea?

Just in time for my talk on #Mobian at https://kochi2023.mini.debconf.org I got screen sharing working with Jitsi Meet, Firefox and Phosh on #Debian Trixie. So I can show a demo of Mobian on the big screen easily from a laptop. There is also the option of connecting USB C to HDMI adapter, but I don't have one.

I scrolled down in phosh today to fast-launch the settings app and change my audio output device, when I noticed a little button next to the volume slider. I pressed it and what do you know, phosh added a handy little input/output audio device selector when I wasn't looking!

Working on a video to promote the #Librem14 by @purism. We have put together that setup to showcase some professional features of the laptop.
Yes, that is #Kdenlive running on 3 screens! The perfect setup for VFX and color grading work! I love that software and I love that laptop! Both my daily drivers... and now with the big screens 😉

Ever wondered how to *really* declare device compatibility in AppStream MetaInfo files for your app?
I wrote a short-ish blogpost about that!
Things will also become much nicer to use with AppStream 1.0 soon, with more validation and helper tools 🙂

Next thing needed is a "stop charging" button as some charging stations don't allow for that either 😞 . The data leaking involved here is also concerning but as it is sent out no matter what, let's at least make it usable via #FreeSoftware too.
Had the need to charge an all electric Kia recently and guess what: both the charging stations app and the vendor's app are proprietary so how would I know when charging finished?
Turns out people around #HomeAssistant figured out the vendor API so I could use that to have a small app to monitor the charging status on my #Librem5 running #phosh
I had already disabled automatic HighContrast in #phosh but the last days were so ☀️ that I flipped it on again.
Thankfully this doesn't need any `gsettings set sm.puri.phosh automatic-high-contrast true` anymore but can be done conveniently in the mobile-setting's sensor panel added by @devrtz in 0.29.0.

I have been daily driving mine since February of this year. Before that, I daily drove the PPP for a year and before that I daily drove the PP for a year.
The #Librem5 was a major step up in quality and usability from day one. I loved my pinephones, but I don't think that I could go back to them.
