Thanks to work of @notmart and @AleixPol , we now have the window thumbnails in task switcher of Plasma Mobile, powered by #pipewire.

Finally! I got @postmarketOS with #Phosh running on the BQ Aquaris X5.

Things learned on the way: Don't use pmbootstrap install (without the --sdcard option) on a ZFS system, it may fail inexplicably. Flash with pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs with the --partition-userdata option on this device. Never give up!

Also, the standard kernel does lack touchscreen support, but there is an image on the issue tracker that can be booted with fastboot.

Impressions:
Keyboard tiny, but really fast!

Just made my first mobile payment with my bank app straight from the Librem 5 - via Anbox. The last reason to occasionally boot an Android phone just went poof! :) #librem5 #pureos #mobile #gnu #linux #anbox

Dialect is a cool new translation app available on Flathub and running on the Librem 5. 😄️

That's easy, I think. People sitting there and there's an unobtrusive box in Excel. Most people only do things like "=SUM(C3:C4)". They know other people can do cool stuff. A lot of offices keep a stash of "power-user" books around. Maybe 1% of the people using it will branch out into more complicated scripts, 10% will use cheat sheets for easy tasks. That little box in Excel is a great way to unobtrusively give people a programmable interface, and enough people get curious about the little box that everyone benefits. Same thing with game mods, stuff like that. It's not a coincidence that webshit took off, you have a JS environment everywhere you go. You just give people a little place to type commands or expressions and suddenly the whole thing blows up.

Everything should be like this.

@purism Built a simple virtual mouse for #phosh using #wlroots virtual-pointer protocol so i can navigate the pointer on the external screen attached to the #librem5 without having a physical mouse attached. Useful for e.g. presentations when you only connect a beamer.

Now, if this isn't the coolest thing you've seen today then you need to close the refrigerator. It's an animation of how bridges were built in Central Europe in the middle-ages.

Just found this artist who makes cool spaceship designs out of random household objects, and I love it.

Sci-fi spaceships really can be shaped like anything, can't they.

@purism And here's the #librem5 connected to a usb-c hub that has a keyboard/mouse connected via usb and driving the external screen via dp-alt-mode. Needs some hacks still but we're getting there:

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉

We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

By demanding encryption backdoors, Politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. Here's why: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk
We must fight encryption backdoors around the world. 💪 #privacy #HumanRight
