Something that has surprised me over the few weeks I've had this #Librem5 phone is the rapid progress. Each week brings at least one big improvement. Case in point, yesterday's kernel update (should hit main repos in a few days) made a noticeable change in the phone's heat and touchscreen performance.
...and haptic feedback in calls when receiving a phone call on the #librem5 (as yesterday (https://social.librem.one/@agx/103561184406010030), the audio is important)
@agx I want to try it some day too, but Anbox was already packaged in Debian and I'm lazy :)
@Yanux Yup! With anbox.
@ashwinvis No, it's a container (anbox).
@ethoslibre@mstdn.io It's anbox. Mostly followed the instructions, then tried to figure out why it crashes/doesn't work. It's not really in usable state yet, just a quick PoC. Mostly kernel defconfig (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/merge_requests/56), switching to iptables-legacy and some hacking to get root inside the container to fix network routing (`adb root` just crashed adbd... :D). Also, it's running via XWayland for now, as pure Wayland doesn't work for some reason, and this comes with its own set of issues.
Did you know that you can update the firmware of a USB-C cable?
Yes. Cable.

...and a fair share of issues mentioned are already fixed or waiting for being released :)

There's a well-known African proverb: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." What Moxie's centralization talk misses is that the faults in early decentralized protocols came because dotcoms wanted to capture the market.
@martijnbraam Haha I just stumbled upon that a few days ago as well :)
@martijnbraam Update your phoc and its wlroots, it's been fixed for a while ;)
