New blog post: Weekly GNU-like Mobile Linux Update (21/2024): Jolla Announcements and a release of Framebufferphone https://linmob.net/weekly-update-21-2024/

Want to configure which hardware buttons unblank the screen of your 📱 with #phosh? Here's how (and submitting your changes upstream will fix it for others too): https://phosh.mobi/posts/wakeup-keys/

#libinput #phoc #hwdb #udev

phosh 0.39.0 is out 🚀📱:

Some highlights:

- #phosh: folder support, night light quick setting
- #phoc: wakeup-key handling (to prevent accidental unblank)
- #squeekboard: New layout, lots of layout improvements
- mobile-settings: Allow to manage custom quick settings, allow to toggle whether to ignore hw keyboards, many new translations

Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.39.0/

"Mobile-zombie-free zone" sign spotted at a playground in #Rålambshovsparken in #Stockholm recently.

Ironically that made me pick up my own phone to take this photo, acting like another of those infamous zombies. In my defense I did not actually enter the playground, so strictly speaking I did not violate the sanctity of the mobile-zombie-free zone. Also, the phone (#Librem5 yay!) was back in pocket directly without further zombie-like behaviour. 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5

A big thanks to Megapixels contributors :)

#gmobile 0.2.0 is out 🚀 . This version adds the udev rules and first hwdb entries to mark keys and buttons as not unblanking the screen on press (like volume rockers or menu/back capacitive buttons).

phoc 0.39.0 will make use of this. We moved things into a library rather than phoc itself so other compositors can make use of it too.

Disappointed to see The Markup share advice for people to use WhatsApp in its post about preparing your phone for a protest, and that it's coming from "digital security trainers."

Metadata literally kills, and WhatsApp is swimming in it. The metadata they collect includes:

Groups you're a member of, location, personal info (email, phone number, user IDs), contacts and their phone numbers, in-app search history, when you use the app & how often you use it. E2EE alone doesn't guarantee #privacy

#Lintian merge request list down to a single page again. Phew!

It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.

@arunmani recently added folder support to #phosh 🚀 . Here's a short demo:

Lately I’ve been really hooked to #balatro.
I found out it uses the #löve2d engine, and I remembered something about Löve games being unintentionally cross platform.

And here we are: Balatro running natively on #linuxmobile (OP6 + #postmarketos + #phosh )
To run:
* Copy Steam game files from other PC using manage/browse local files
* Install Löve `sudo apt install love`
* Run the game `love Balatro.exe`
