#Librem5vsPinephone
Maximal and minimal #brightness of the #smartphones. #Librem5 beats #Pinephone at both. Also the Pinephone screen colors look colder in comparison. Librem 5 screen looks more pleasant to my eye.
phoc 0.7.0 has just been released!
This version includes mouse based snap-to-edge for tiling and maximizing; window move & resize fixes for touchscreens; and **big** stability improvements - I haven't seen it crashing a single time for a while now :)

Here we can see a Plasmus Vulgaris specimen wandering outside of its regular habitat. Carefully testing the waters, encouraged by being docked, it slowly gets to know the unfamiliar surroundings of the phosh environment it found itself in - the other major part of the diverse ecosystem populating the Librem 5. #kde #plasma #gnome #phosh #gnu #linux #librem5
Fun fact - the biggest difference comes from this single commit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/57e354c297e1703079c2bc6fb51211b24d884ac3
Then the new "ngl" renderer and fixes in the Wayland backend boost the performance even further.
GTK4's GPU-accelerated GL renderer(s) got a major performance boost in the last few days! Previously it struggled to render simple UIs with single digit FPS on the Librem 5; now it can get pretty fancy :) #librem5 #gnome #gnomeonmobile #gtk
#phosh 0.9.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.9.0
Now supports #GNOME's OSD DBus protocol, indicates microphone hardware kill switch state, fixes around the overview including long-swipes. Requires libhandy >= 1.1.90
This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a #librem5 using the #imx8mq's #hantro VPU.
Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the #gstreamer and #linux kernel folks for making this possible!
Receiving MMS on the #librem5 is working now, using #ModemManager and mmsd and #chatty, after some recent fixes including an addition to libqmi to allow sending ack for "transfer route MT" messages, see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/issues/30 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/257 #phosh #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism #gnomeonmobile
"me in the morning, right after I turned the switches on"
This may not be the most impressive winter selfie (it's a 8M sensor outputting 0.3M after all), but you got to start somewhere :) #librem5
I did nothing but taking the photo (looped in a script with v4l2-ctl and dcraw; then displayed on screen using Eye of GNOME) - all the credit goes to Dorota and Martin, and the work continues there: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/43
Your Smartphone Doesn't Have To Be Glued Shut!
The #librem5 was recently featured in a hardware tear-down video by @iFixit@hostux.social
#phosh 0.8.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.8.1
Mostly bug fixes and cleanups this time around from @eliasr , @dos and yours truly.

Spent some time on getting my old Librem 5 port of Jumpdrive into shape, so it can get upstreamed. It's a super useful little recovery utility to have in your tool belt :) https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/pull/24 #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile
