It's funny how this phone keeps feeling faster as it gets older.
Looks like GTK is starting to get its renderer inefficiencies sorted out, as updating Flatpak runtimes has made Tuba smoother than ever 😄 #librem5
@Gina @simonjust I'd probably have a hard time if I were to switch to Android after all this time, so it's all relative 😉
Services and governments requiring use of Android/iOS applications is a very recent phenomenon and I don't think it's too late to resist that yet.
@simonjust @Gina There are devices out there that are functional without relying on Android. I've been using them as my main phones for the last ~18 years (first Neo Freerunner, then Nokia N900, now Librem 5). Other people are currently using PinePhones, OnePlus 6/6T, Pocophone F1, Pixel 3a and a few others.
Truth be told, for quite a while even with laptops you had to put some effort before going shopping to ensure you'll have a good experience with GNU/Linux.
@simonjust @Gina Not really? It just tucks it under the carpet to be dealt with by Android.
@simonjust @Gina Now make it drop the Halium layer and liberation will be complete:)
@simonjust @Gina You can't do that with *any* mobile OS, open or not, and you absolutely certainly still won't for a good while. It's not a good goal to target.
You can already use it on specific well-supported devices, or work on supporting other specific devices well. That's how you can make a tangible difference today.
@johanpeitz I wanted to know whether a regular love2d compiled on whatever platform will be able to run it, so I take that as a "yes" 😁
@johanpeitz I see it's using LÖVE - does it work with the regular upstream interpreter?
@emill1984 Wszyscy wokół trąbili, ale dwadzieścia lat temu 😜
@Luigi311 This seems about the same as on Librem 5 then with its 4-5 hours of active use. It's idle time that's more challenging there.
@pi_crew I took about the same time to do it on my N900 with PyGTK a decade ago (it was a very simple REST API), but I don't have any Nextbike stations nearby anymore and haven't used it for several years now...
@gnuntoo @fisherdude If you're talking about GTK4 apps, run them with MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.0, otherwise you'll have them use GL through llvmpipe.
@pankraz @maryjane @janvlug At least PureOS uses it by default for providing cellular- and Wi-Fi-based location. Data collection can be configured in Geoclue config, or done through geoclue-stumbler app: https://gitlab.com/kop316/geoclue-stumbler
