I use a somewhat old #V800 sports watch (what a joke, it's 10y old and #Polar does seem to have stoped support for it). I use it offline by downloading its data to my Linux notebook. While on vacation I could do the same using the same software stack on my mobile phone: a #Librem5.

Once in a a while I still get this feeling how amazing it is to have a small Linux computer in my pocket - even though it is already since more than a year my only mobile phone.

Now running with #trixie :)

With a few small bumps, managed to get the #Librem5 booting into a #Mobian installer, and installed with an encrypted rootfs!

So far, only have #Dino configured, but that is enough for this to be a hugely useful communications device, especially with #JMPchat to connect up to telephony networks!

Love the kill switches for cellular modem, wifi/bluetooth and camera/mic!

This is my first #Debian #Trixie based computer, as there may be issues with the now-stable #Bookworm on this hardware.

If you're using an external dock with touchscreen: Due to the wlroots update we need to update the touch mappings to make touch on the external output still work. There will soon be a phosh-mobile-settings bugfix release to make this simple for known docks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/63

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.

Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.

I've received my first sample of Glasgow Interface Explorer https://glasgow-embedded.org for evaluation

it is *beyond excellent*. it exceeds any standard I could possibly have for it. the team (1bitSquared and everyone else who collaborated) working on it deserves the highest praise

New phone who dis? It's real!
The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big and slightly more specced up sibling - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to dynamically resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got bodyslammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See https://puri.sm/

browser performance conversations often discuss perf in a vacuum. not super useful.

one thing we discovered back when i worked on Firefox was that it performed faaaarrr better for heavy users then Chrome, which optimizes for the median case user, which actually trends very light - a few tabs, small daily usage.

if you're a tab hoarder like me, Chromium perf gets pretty bad after 15-20 tabs. Firefox scales up to thousands w/o blinking.
