We hope the EU will reconsider: https://phosh.mobi/posts/ngi-2025/

@EC_NGI and @nlnet make a dramatic impact to improve our sustainable, privacy and attention respecting #linuxmobile ecosystem. One of the very few answers we have to the duopoly of Android and iOS from Silicon Valley!

Because of that we are saddened about the @EUCommission not mentioning NGI programmes anymore in their draft of funding programmes for 2025. 😢

We signed the open letter, consider doing the same if your project received funding in the past.

PyGObject, the #Python bindings for #GTK, have recently merged support for asynchronous programming, closing an orthogonality gap between Python's async support and GTK having been single-threaded / event based since forever: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/merge_requests/189
This ends a decade of using projects such as gbulb that kindly bridged that gap.

New #dbusmock #release with bluez5 improvements, a new ModemManager mock, and fixing MacOS compatibility. Thanks to all contributors!

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (26/2024): #Phosh 0.40.0 and other good news

#phosh 0.40 will correctly detect the #steamdeck's panel orientation and start up in landscape mode now! 🎉

Here's a photo of it running on #postmarketOS!

There are still a few rough edges with running pmOS, phosh, and the other UIs we support, on the Steam Deck... but it's still really nice to see one rough edge smoothed out.

pmOS on the Steam Deck, just like the blueberries in the photo, is not quite ready for consumption... 🤞 😄

Thank you @agx for your help and patience!

"#iPhones and #iPads are not general purpose computers" states #Apple. I vehemently disagree!!

I'm happy to announce the availability of my new app "eSIM Manager" on postmarketOS! With it you can manage and install eSIMs on your phone running postmarketOS! No more need to boot into Android to do the same!

@agx worked on making #feedbackd a bit more useful and convenient. Some of this landed already and is targeting the next #phosh release
while others might take a bit longer (as they e.g. depend on a calls bug fix release). A short 🧵 👇
