@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.

Phosh 0.56.0 and Linux 7.2 on PureOS Dawn. Getting there.

...and speaking of the kernel, the latest LTS (6.18) is now available for testing on Crimson: https://forums.puri.sm/t/kernel-6-18-available-for-testing/31104

@RueNahcMohr @lproven I have uploaded my package to https://mentors.debian.net/ and stated that I'm seeking one.

@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.

@VolkerKrause > What I couldn’t look into is whether Geoclue is able to actually retrieve GNSS data on “real” hardware, lacking access to devices to test this on.

People have relied on Geoclue to provide location data (based on GNSS + cellular + Wi-Fi) to applications on phones they use for many years now, so you can just assume it works ;)

@rysiek Last time I checked Linux wasn't being developed by the Debian project, so no, not exactly.

@OS2user Yes, I have simply set the gain and exposure sliders in the camera app to minimum. Could have adjusted the driver to still squeeze some shorter exposure time out of the sensor, but only thought of it once it was too late 😄

@retrofan64 Do you mean PinePhone specifically, or GNU/Linux phones in general? I think more people use devices like Librem 5 or OnePlus 6/6T as their daily drivers than PinePhone these days (though I'm sure you could find some anyway).

got it through a lens flare at least 😆 #eclipse #shotonlibrem5

@jeffcliff Sneak peek: same in July. It's nearly over though, as almost all forked packages have been reviewed and either rebased and updated or dropped to match Trixie by now (and there were a few dozens of them to go through).

@CleoMenezesJr Publicity. Wherever I talk about my mobile GNU/Linux experiences people get surprised that things they are "waiting for" were already there for many years.

Lack of people with diverse specialist knowledge in the community. I often had to spend weeks on learning how to do things that would take hours for someone who already had the needed background.

Not enough will to put money/effort where mouth is. This is a resource-constrained field that relies on people to push it forward.

@clacke @grishka @danielgibert @realsimon @HenrikLievonen @njsg Poland as well.
