@jrballesteros05 for me, flatpak seems to be a convenient way to get to test the latest version of different FLOSS programs, in cases when it's not so easy to build in the normal way because the newest code needs some newer versions of certain libraries, things like that. For example I'm using it now to test the Geary email client on a #librem5 by building a .flatpak file on my laptop using GNOME Builder and then copying the .flatpak file over to the phone. This seems useful, I think.

@jrballesteros05 what's wrong with flatpak packages?

@thibaultamartin Wow. This seems almost too good to be true. 😃 Why isn't everyone using flatpak for everything then?

@thibaultamartin @gnome @purism OK, new attempt: #librem5 Birch, #gnome-maps 3.38.1 installed via flatpak (flathub). This works much better, and no need for that -O0 trick anymore. This version seems to adapt perfectly to the screen size. It works really well!

@thibaultamartin Thanks, I'll try that!

@thibaultamartin @purism @gnome This is gnome-maps version 3.30.3 which is what I get by default on the Librem 5, PureOS "amber". I wrote more about it here: https://forums.puri.sm/t/gnome-maps-debugging-adventures-on-the-librem-5/

@thibaultamartin @purism @gnome Just managed to get GNOME Maps running on a #librem5 Birch. At first there was a crash in libmozjs but now, after recompiling libmozjs with -O0 -- it works! #gnome-maps

@manjarolinux@botsin.space Nice! On that picture it looks like your factory image will be using the Phosh user interface developed by @purism for the #librem5 -- is that right?

@purism I see that GNOME Maps has been added now -- great!

@thibaultamartin @purism Nice to see that GNOME Maps has now been added here: https://puri.sm/fund-your-app/

@purism Please add GNOME Maps! https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Maps

@thibaultamartin You mean GNOME Maps? In my case I wasn't aware of it, I just saw PureMaps on the top list and then assumed there was no viable GNOME choice so then I voted for PureMaps. Now I will have to go and vote again, this time for GNOME Maps 🙂

@stemid Snyggt! Kolla #librem5 för en annan lösning på problemet.

#fsfbulletin arrived today

@tychi I do!

@purism It says "slightly higher power draw in dogwood" -- why is that?

@joacim Snyggt! Jag tänker att man gärna hade velat se datum på inläggen i listan på förstasidan, typ bredvid varje rubrik. Eller det kanske blir för grötigt. Men man undrar ju när de är skrivna.

@sir I think this is the best, because that was the start of everything for me. After this, nothing could stop me:

10 PRINT "HEJ"
20 GOTO 10

@syntax @jameshjacksonjr @purism They're selling a new PinePhone variant now, with larger RAM and postmarketOS installed: https://store.pine64.org/product/pinephone-community-edition-postmarketos-with-convergence-package-limited-edition-linux-smartphone/ -- "Estimate dispatch in late August, 2020" it says.
