@dino is working with #libhandy to make its #xmpp client adaptive!

Probably at early stages of developement, but it definitely already look pretty and usable on mobile :)

Kudos to you for making Dino adaptive, guys!

The developers of Signal are currently doing a user survey:

surveys.signalusers.org/s3

I told them that I really like the app but also that I would like:
a) Signal on @fdroidorg
b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?

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! :)

Iโ€™m not a huge fan of Perl and the culture around it, because it feels like a language made for computers. I want a language made for humans.

Iโ€™m not someone very smart, I tend to forget about what I wrote myself. I like my scripts human friendly.

I want it to have a main part I can read as a recipe, almost in English, and put the implementation details in functions I can dig through if I have doubts.

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 using virtual-pointer protocol so i can navigate the pointer on the external screen attached to the 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.

To ensure your app appears in the Librem 5 PureOS Store, specify the form factors it supports in its Appstream metainfo and desktop entry: adrienplazas.com/blog/2020/10/

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.
