We're tracking wlroot's git on #phoc's main branch now: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/merge_requests/463 .
@joeyh The format still works great, it's super handy to have the entire history of security issues within a single Emacs buffer,especially when cross correlating with older issues

NEW POST: It's now been a year since The Muskover, what does my use of social media look like now, both as a reader and a writer?
Thanks to the stellar work of Arjan Molenaar, the pygobject bindings have been dramatically improving over the past month. Now Python developers can finally use instances of fundamental types, which was one of the big blockers for people implementing custom widgets with GTK4.
Starting with the GNOME 46 run time, you'll be able to do advanced custom drawing using render nodes, as well as accessing low level windowing system event objects.
We hit bug number #1000 in #phosh: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1000
(and it's surprisingly not phone related)
I ever so often close the 🎵- player and when grabbing the 📱 I'd have to unlock it to just start the 🎵 player and then 🔒 the 📱 right away again (as there's #mpris controls on the 🔒-screen then anyway).
Hence I wrote a small #phosh plugin to add arbitrary "launchers" to the 🔒-screen via a desktop file.
This is very simplistic atm (as we e.g. don't track app-state) but gets the job done initially.
I only used it for that purpose but there's other potential use cases:
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 😉
#postmarketOS just gained support for a new feature phone UI, #bananui from @affe_null !
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.
