I'm happy to report that I've successfully managed to turn my WTFs and OMGs into working touch PointerEvents, and even got to spot and fix some minor bugs on the way. Once I manage to go through the submission and review process as well it should considerably improve the handling of touchscreens on websites in GNOME Web. #webkit #webkitgtk #wpewebkit #epiphany #gnome #librem5 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

@hyperlinkyourheart > it doesn't maximise apps when you open them

That's how it works when docked to a screen, keyboard and mouse. If you don't set the virtual machine carefully to make it look like a phone it will likely believe it's "docked" and act accordingly. In any case, you can toggle docked mode in Phosh's quick settings to override it.

@karlcow There's more than I've ever seen!

Fortunately I don't have to dig into WASM JIT right now, which should save me some OMGs.

Whenever I look at #WebKit's source code my head is full of WTFs. #badumtss

@williamtries If only I knew myself yet 😭 I do have an idea for a talk that I could submit, but not yet sure whether I'll manage to prepare it and travel there, we'll see.

@lxskllr @kolombiken You absolutely can incrementally update, it's just Android that isn't made in a way that would support it. It's a property of the software.

@alextecplayz As if that mattered. If a midrange phone could provide me a better value than my 5yo Librem 5, I'd be happy to switch. As it is right now it still allows me to painlessly browse the Web, or buy train tickets, or get on with my daily life. I do miss some stuff in its specs, but upgrading its RAM or GPU are rather low priority entries on my wishlist.

It's not going to get younger and the world around it keeps changing. It will require an upgrade some day. Not today though, not yet.

@maryjane That's interesting, thanks for posting! Is the blue one the longer one? Were both set to the same reporting frequency? (1Hz on L5 by default). BTW. Can OP6 use all of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou at once?

@rysiek @mebbie I believe that some people who are capable of moving away from Android haven't done so yet, for whatever reason. Sometimes they may be capable, but unwilling to give some convenience away - and using Android in a society that expects you to use it is surely more convenient. It's up to them to take action to make things better, not "manufacturers".

There are also many people who aren't, but you can't expect those to move yet. Obviously. We still need to pave them the way there.

@rysiek @mebbie You're attributing things to me that I've never said. That's pretty damn un-excellent.

Would I prefer it to be an open platform? Of course I would, but it never really was, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion right now. It was made to make this possible. We can't rely on Google keeping it "open enough" and we can't rely on the society not making it mandatory to use without active resistance, which includes (but isn't limited to) moving away from Android whenever possible.

@rysiek @mebbie Of course they do, and capable developers adopting things are a necessary step on the way to make these things viable for non-techies. There's no other way to give privacy and choice to all people who deserve it, and Android wasn't one either.

@mebbie @rysiek The phones already exist; now it's up to users to adopt them and, if necessary, improve them to match their needs.

I don't see Google closing Android down as a threat to me. If anything, it may make more people actually interested in the alternatives. What is an actual threat to me are institutions and companies assuming that I'm running either Android or iOS. As things are right now, I can manage to live without them just fine, but things keep moving in the wrong direction.

@rail Yeah, before LK3 modernization I used to frequently ride between Poznań and Warsaw and I quickly realized that ICs are a better deal than EICs despite the price suggesting otherwise.

@opensourceopenmind @Sxan Sound in videos must be some pmOS quirk, as it has always worked and still works on PureOS.

Have you tried https://source.puri.sm/-/snippets/1223, btw?
