#phosh 0.10.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.1

Other changes will take some more time so let's release #convergence and #geoclue fixes, updated translations and automatic built-in display rotation.

See above release notes for the full list of changes and contributors.

If you have a hard time calling me in the next days it's because we're reworking the way incoming calls are handled in #phosh / #calls - so you can jump back and forth between locked and unlocked shell (please excuse the video quality). Now we need to fix make it look pretty.

Over the past 15 years of using #XMPP, I've seen many messengers come and go. People complain about the hassle of switching messengers, but many express a preference for the "simplicity" of gated gardens.... Do they count the cost of switching as well?

A truly sustainable messenger can only be a decentralized protocol, not just an app.

Isn't it just great!? @purism #Librem5 running #Audacious :)

#phosh 0.10.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.0

Besides plenty of fixes #phosh can now be a #geoclue agent (so location services can work) and has support for reboot/shutdown dialogs (which are used when e.g. gnome-software wants to reboot or when you shut down the system from the menu).

@archit3ct

Fully agree with you: #Librem5 and #Pinephone actually help each other and we need both to fight with the walled gardens of #Android and #iOS:

https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#88-how-do-the-pinephone-and-the-librem-5-help-each-other-ie-why-its-stupid-to-fight.

However I often see people saying that they have almost the same specs: same CPU and same amount of RAM.

So i wanted to see if developing new system modal dialogs for #phosh becomes simpler (and less code) with the recent changes so i took a stab at the EndSessionDIalog:

#Librem5 vs #Pinephone

#Convergence aka #Desktop mode works fine on both #smartphones for light tasks. But what is "light"? This is where they differ.

#Librem5 (left) smoothly plays two videos simultaneously (one of which is 60 fps), whereas #Pinephone is struggling with single 30 fps video.

Why? Librem 5 has 30% faster CPU clock speed, 140% faster RAM standard, roughly double the GPU performance. More details: https://forums.puri.sm/t/comparing-specs-of-upcoming-linux-phones.

#Librem5vsPinephone

#Convergence works fine on both #phones with original Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar.

#Librem5 (left) and #Pinephone (right) are usable as #Desktop computers for light tasks.

#Firefox is the desktop version with all #plugins you want.

Can your #smartphone do this?

if you only want to disable that for the on screen keyaboard you can use

If somebody wants to look at the GUI bits: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/gnome-control-center/-/issues/115

If flatpaks ask #geoclue for location service access #phosh can now handle that as a #geoclue agent (which became useful after fixing that for recent kernels using cgroupv2 (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/81):
