Ability to easily build custom keyboard layouts is really awesome.

Thanks you @agx

Excellent technical note on dark-skies-friendly approaches to outside lighting here: https://www.friendsofthelakedistrict.org.uk/lighting-policy

Important because light pollution really messes up insects and birds, wastes energy, and pisses off your neighbours.

Hoping to do something about this locally

We now provide nightly builds for Phosh and some related 📦 targeting #Debian Trixie thus making the current development
versions easier to test on Debian and Debian based distributions like @mobian (and hopefully in the future #PureOS):

New #umockdev release which records and restores SELinux context for mocked /dev nodes, fixes musl compatibility, build with meson 1.4, and some test fixes.

The drm subsystem maintainer tool, affectionately named dim, now supports applying patches and series using b4.

See the two new subcommands, dim b4-shazam and dim b4-shazam-branch.

b4 v0.13 or later is required to properly filter out trailers from CI and build bots.

For those of you interested in our recent video offloading / zero-copy playback work: I quickly put together some #livi #flatpak s to make it easy to test stuff already. Compositor offloading should work on all semi-recent Intel/AMD and a variety of ARM64 devices.

If you trust the sandbox you can get them here:

I expect quite a few people hitting driver bugs, so please help tracking those down :)

Are you forced by your #bank to use proprietary #apps? Have a look at background shared on the @fsfe 's discussion list by @floriansnow from a #FreeSoftware angle:

https://lists.fsfe.org/pipermail/discussion/2024-February/013383.html

Florian's questions:

* What's your experience with your bank?
* How do you do your #banking?
* Is there an important angle that I missed?

#AskFedi Anyone know of a good music library manager for Mobile Linux? (esp. Phosh/GNOME)

I like the aesthetic and background playback features of Amberol, but it can't do playlists or scrobble my listens to last.fm. I like the functionality of Lollypop, but it crashes too much and the UI/UX is awful.

Here's my criteria:
- Adaptive for mobile/touch
- Scrobble to last.fm
- Playlists/Artists/Albums
- Background Playback

Also being pretty would be nice.

With some preparatory work to allow plugins to use objects from #phosh core and @arunmani 's nice work on custom quick settings already merged the often asked for caffeine toggle is within reach:

In preparation for the upcoming #phosh release we've tagged gmobile 0.0.6 https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile/-/releases/v0.0.6

This release adds a number of new devices contributed by @fakeshell
