Don't know what to do tonight? Why not play OpenArena on your new #PinebookPro? https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8756&pid=56394#pid56394
I'm planning a homebrew 🍺 computer build. The first part has arrived, manufactured in October 1983, the increasingly rare MOS 6581🎶 #WimpysWorld https://wimpysworld.io/30bLERL
It's been a busy weekend! The first part of "Building responsive apps for #Linux smartphones with #GTK and #libhandy" has just been published, covering:
- setting up a Gtk+libhandy dev environment
- creating your first *responsive* GTK app
- bundling as #Flatpak for deployment
and more
You can find the tutorial here: https://tuxphones.com/tutorial-developing-responsive-linux-smartphone-apps-libhandy-gtk-part-1/
Nexus 7 merge request for mainline kernel is ready for @postmarketOS . Originally shipped Bluetooth 3.0 in #Nexus7 is real BT4.0 chip and works well with 4.0 and 5.0 headphones. Today was a good day.
#phosh's #wlroots based compositor phoc now implements the necessary bits of the gtk-shell protocol to raise applications from the background when activated.
The video shows how the shell activates #gnome Settings multiple times while another application (the terminal) is in the foreground. The slight delay is caused by Settings taking a moment to figure out it's already running (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/gnome-control-center/issues/61)
This is part of phoc 0.1.5 (0.1.5 (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/tags/v0.1.5).
This is amazing! We want to thank to @PINE64 for providing us with a #PinePhone dev. Kit. We will begin working on putting #Nitrux on the device 🤩🤩🤩
Update: I just received my first inbound spam call! I can't wait until I get one of those scam calls from "Apple support"...
Attention new #PinebookPro owners: if you have not already, we heavily recommend flashing the updated keyboard/trackpad firmware.
@Alexmitter Difference is payed developers versus volunteers, and a smaller demand at the time considering the lack of phones for Linux. On that note, Plasma Mobile was also developed before a solid Linux phone was available for development (Nexus 5's were generally used back before anything else, but those are hit or miss), it wasn't doing too bad.
QT is also better in terms of fractional scaling and theming imo, and it's modular.
@Alexmitter @ManjaroARM I'd argue QT is more modern and featureful. Kirigami has been around much longer than libhandy (since 2015) and is still actively developed, and that Plasma Mobile itself has also been around longer and is in pretty good shape.
Had a chance to work a bit more on @pine64's #PinePhone. Its coming along nicely if I say so myself.
@ManjaroARM Was the angelfish incompatibility with lima which caused it to not work patched in the packaged angelfish?
Overheard someone at the Target return counter returning a gift because they thought it was creepy that it listened to them. There's hope. #privacy
Can you code in #python? Maybe even know #pyqt5?
If so, we would really like your help converting our Manjaro ARM Installer #bash script into a working GUI installer using pyqt5.
It should be able to do what the bash script does, just with a nice GUI, so it would be even easier to install #ManjaroARM.
Interested?
Please DM us.
Here are two versions of an #app icon #design I made for an upcoming #plasmamobile #audio recorder.
If you're waiting for the #Pinebook Pro then here are the shipping dates:
ISO keyboard units: December 24th ANSI keyboard units: December 31st - January 5th.
Happy Holidays!
Wrote a blog post about experience of using the @kde #PlasmaMobile on @PINE64 #PinePhone as a daily driver.

Looking at #KDE Plasma Mobile and #PinePhone is giving me the sort of a glimmer of hope that I haven't felt in a long time as far as mobile anything is concerned.
I love using linux!
