The Librem 5 selfie camera used to be useful only outside in the daylight, but with some gain and exposure adjustments you can now make penguin selfies in the middle of the night too! #shotonlibrem5

#phosh 0.10.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.1
Other changes will take some more time so let's release #convergence and #geoclue fixes, updated translations and automatic built-in display rotation.

Over the past 15 years of using #XMPP, I've seen many messengers come and go. People complain about the hassle of switching messengers, but many express a preference for the "simplicity" of gated gardens.... Do they count the cost of switching as well?
A truly sustainable messenger can only be a decentralized protocol, not just an app.

A few days ago I had an idea for a simple e-ink project and found Inkplate - an Open Hardware design with ESP32 and recycled Kindle displays.
Programmed it to wake up daily at midnight to download a PGM image over WiFi (https://gitlab.com/dos1/kartka) from a server which checks some stuff like trash collection schedule. Should last years on a single battery charge.
Check it out if you look for a super approachable way to build some e-ink stuff! https://inkplate.io/
#phosh 0.10.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.0
Besides plenty of fixes #phosh can now be a #geoclue agent (so location services can work) and has support for reboot/shutdown dialogs (which are used when e.g. gnome-software wants to reboot or when you shut down the system from the menu).
See above release notes for the full list of changes and contributors.
(it's 8-bit 4208x3120 GRBG - and you'll probably notice autofocus phase pixels that we don't handle in any way just yet :))
