I kept unlocking the 📱 a lot to check a cars charging status. Using #phosh's launcher-box lockscreen-plugin and the LauncherEntry DBus protocol we can simplify that and have the information easily accessible:

KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.

This version comes with a new and improved shell, a new home screen with heaps of new features, enhancements of the base system, improvements in apps like Clock, Kasts and Photos, and much more.

Just found out that it's possible to donate to Phosh here: https://liberapay.com/Phosh/

Donations there go to the developers @agx and @devrtz

If, like me, you appreciate that awesome #FreeSoftware project and rely on it everyday for your #MobileLinux device, you know what to do! 😉

For those of you interested in our recent video offloading / zero-copy playback work: I quickly put together some #livi #flatpak s to make it easy to test stuff already. Compositor offloading should work on all semi-recent Intel/AMD and a variety of ARM64 devices.

If you trust the sandbox you can get them here:

I expect quite a few people hitting driver bugs, so please help tracking those down :)

Are you forced by your #bank to use proprietary #apps? Have a look at background shared on the @fsfe 's discussion list by @floriansnow from a #FreeSoftware angle:

Florian's questions:

* What's your experience with your bank?
* How do you do your #banking?
* Is there an important angle that I missed?

i think the EU should pass legislation that enforces standards based 2factor auth (like totp/hotp) for banks, health insurance etc. it is absolutely unacceptable that people are _forced_ to buy android/ios smartphones to use critical services

With some preparatory work to allow plugins to use objects from #phosh core and @arunmani 's nice work on custom quick settings already merged the often asked for caffeine toggle is within reach:

#gtk #gnome #LinuxMobile

nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it.

sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free

KiCad 8 has been tagged! That means that it is only a matter of hours before the latest/greatest version of KiCad is released to the world. We can't wait to share it with you

In preparation for the upcoming #phosh release we've tagged gmobile 0.0.6 https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile/-/releases/v0.0.6

This release adds a number of new devices contributed by @fakeshell

if i wanted you to easily download the binaries i would have made the binaries easy to download

if you're creating issues where you are upset about not being able to download the binaries i might decide to put in more effort and make it easier, or i could decide to commit to not providing binaries because i don't want people like you benefiting from things i build

(i've only done that once, and the user in question turned out to be a rabid transphobe. A+ decision)

Take a hint: an input hint

There's a new #GNOME initiative, and this one's for everyone:

1. Identify entry widgets
2. Evaluate their purpose, and add `input-hints` and `input-purpose` properties judiciously, none is also fine.

Better #Accessibility, better #OSK experience, better software 🙂

If you're at @cactuscon and always wanted to try a #Librem5 phone running stock #pureOS or a #pinephone pro running @postmarketOS #PlasmaMobile, hit me up!

I should be onsite and mostly in the Career Village or one of the social areas from 2:30pm onwards, but am more than happy to dash about give folk a taste of #LinuxMobile

I don't work for Purism, Pine64, nor postmarketOS, I just noticed there's maybe an unmet demo interest and happen to have the HW while I'm at this hacker con

@ejabberd
How cool is that 😎👍
"Matrix support:
A #Matrix bridge was included in October 2022 in ejabberd Business Edition and Fluux ejabberd SaaS platform. Now it is planned to include it in the ejabberd Community Server too." #XMPP

I hastily threw together a version of #Conversations_im that has no address book integration and doesn’t ask for Contacts permission.
This seems to have made it through Google Play review just now meaning the app is no available on Google Play again.

No indication from Google that they were in the wrong and hallucinated the whole "uploads contact list" thing. Instead I had to walk the path of least resistance and remove the useful and entirely harmless feature of address book integration.
