@karpour WAP 2.0 i need to test.

WAP 1.x is special. (warning infodump)

WAP was designed to work over different bearers, SMS, USSP (those #123# numbers that show text), even rare DECT versions exist... and CSD aka modems. The last one became the standard till GPRS became a ting in networks as it had large data. However looking at the low amount of data that fits into a bearer and the low amount of memory in 1999 phones a solution had to be found

phosh 0.45.0 is out 🚀📱:

There's 🐛 fixes and improvements, check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.45.0/ for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵

🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release.

Hi! Help me start my business and expand my shop by buying my first little diy book:) Only until Sunday you can use code QUIRKY15 to get 15% off the book or any purchase above 55 EUR.
Or just use this link:

If you buy a book, I will also add 3 random postcards.
I have only 5 books of this design, next ones will be different!
Thank you <3

I always wanted a simple way to put the phone to silent mode when e.g. placing it on the table next to the 🛏️ . Since Biemster got NFC to work on the Oneplus 6/6T (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/blob/main/nxp_nci_i2c.py) we can leverage that and have feedbackd's profile adjusted when certain RFIDs are seen (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/154). For this to land we want to move the NFC support from a python script to s.th. like nfcd (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/pull/18#issuecomment-2653920089). Help on this would be appreciated.

I think some of the replies to this poll are missing the historical importance of wobbly windows and the technological advancements in the open source ecosystem that they represented. I feel privileged and grateful to have been present at the dawning of the wobbly window era.

Been recording some profiles to try to explain _why_ my Rust translations of C programs tend to default to being faster.

Here's an unexpected culprit: strlen/strcmp.

The "natural" string representation in C is a char* pointing to a buffer that ends in a NUL (ASCII 0). To determine its length you have to crawl along it to find the NUL. To compare two strings, you need to do the same. In particular, because strcmp's return value isn't just a flag, but an integer giving the lexicographic relationship between the two strings ... it can't early exit if the lengths differ.

The "natural" string representation in Rust is a &str, which combines a pointer and a length. Finding the length is a constant-time near-no-op; comparing two strings for equality can trivially early-exit.

This might sound trivial, but profiles suggest it's a significant factor in wartcl being 4x faster than partcl across the board. In part, I suspect a lot of C programs do a lot of redundant strlen-computation unintentionally.

The recording of "postmarketOS - what is it and what's new?" has been released!

Not in the video: three very nice people in the front immediately holding up their laptops as somebody in the audience asks about postmarketOS on other devices than phones 😀

Check out the other talks from the FOSS on Mobile Devices room too. I saw most of them and they were quite interesting!

Today there was a secret #mobian meetup 🌈
