@mcc Remember when windows had clear titlebars that you could grab ahold of and not have to gingerly find an inactive space between toolbar icons and other active interface elements when all you want to do is move the window around?

@RachelThornSub I've been using some "apps currently only available through Aurora Store" on my daily driver (Librem 5) for years now - mostly my bank's app. It all depends on which apps you need and what you need to do with them.

I honestly believe it already is a viable alternative for many more people than just those who already use it, even if there's still plenty of room to make that group wider.

It's irony, that least responsible apps on #MobileLinux are those written using web technologies running in #Electron environment.

I spent some of my free time adding numerous specification certifications to the @purism Librem 14 documentation from old files scattered around, since several folks expressed interest. There are many more certification documents to come, but they require prior author notice and/or approval.

The page is currently messy, but I'll clean it up over time. It's a step toward full product transparency and I hope it's useful for someone:

@isztupiel.bsky.social Z tego co mi wiadomo, rdzenne biedronki siedmiokropki są akurat łagodniejsze od inwazyjnych biedronek azjatyckich, które pojawiły się tu stosunkowo niedawno.

@alice No problemo! You can read qr.blinry.org/ and be prepared for this in the future 😄

Always nice to discover that the pains you were enduring were self-inflicted. Disabling the disabled-by-default WebRender Compositor in on Wayland makes it feel like it's running on a brand new PC 😅

@okias Let me grab that click bait 🤭 :

There are people that have other priorities like the amount of firmware on the device, separation of components on the PCB, no proprietary hypervisors, full control over all bootloaders, etc.

So I think as a community we have interest in devices like the @pine64 #PinePhone's or @purism 's #Librem5 to continue.

It's also good to have devices that ship Linux out of the box.

@sophie I see that there's a separate cheaper SKU for "weak or no NFC performance", which I guess consists of regular units that failed NFC QA but work perfectly fine otherwise, so if that's what you bought then it makes perfect sense to me.

@adamshostack @blobster @404mediaco Their web scraping is also done in "a sorta dumb way", so that checks out.

@RueNahcMohr @lproven What you described in your initial post was a path to become a trusted person with direct upload rights to the distribution archive, *not* a requirement to contribute. Debian Maintainers can upload new versions of packages they maintain without having a sponsor, Debian Developers can upload anything. You need to have already contributed for a while in order to become any of them, and I think you'll agree that it's a reasonable requirement.

@RueNahcMohr @lproven Many years ago I got my own unknown project packaged in Debian. All it took (aside of technical work) was to find a sponsor among Debian Developers to review and upload it. I got some feedback, applied it and into Debian it went. I've also contributed several patches to existing packages - the maintainer reviewed them, merged them and they're in Debian. It's really no different to any other respectable project out there, nobody gets full commit rights just because they ask.

@RueNahcMohr @lproven I have contributed several things to Debian without becoming a Debian Maintainer or Developer. It really doesn't require any of the things mentioned.

@doskel We have GNU/Linux distros on phones though, with completely custom whatever-you-want 😌

@heyheymomo Don't worry, I've found your 13kgs, they're safe and taken care of.
