@be I just tried Krita now, but it seems to get confused about the screen size, still does not fit even when the display scaling is used. At one point I got it to open a new drawing surface but then it would not draw anything, somehow the touch input is not treated as mouse left-click the way it happens for gimp. Touch works in menus but not on the drawing surface.

@be I remember it was hilarious when Fedora releases started to be called Fedora 23 code name "Twenty Three" and things like that. 😄

@someunexpectedsparks Thanks. For me the sms messages that I created using mmcli were removed if chatty was running. Now I just saw this issue was created about it: source.puri.sm/Librem5/purple-

@someunexpectedsparks Adding to the tutorial, in my case it seemed necessary to somehow turn off the phone's normal sms handling first, otherwise it said "No sms messages were found" after creating a new sms. It worked after I killed the "chatty" process which is normally running. Seemed like chatty was eating the sms messages before I could list them or send them. Were you able to send sms using mmcli when chatty was running?

The wishing the a merry Christmas and a happy GNU year, by SMS from the command-line. 😃 PureOS and @postmarketOS both running . The script on the Librem 5 is using mmcli commands to send SMS messages. @purism

From the telnet man page: "The source code is not comprehensible." In case you were wondering. 😄

Meh. Just wanted to login, but no, must first see this list of logos of the things I'm trying to avoid. Well, as long as the email option is still there, I suppose there is still hope. They don't own everyone, not yet. :-)

@purism I was unable to find the place where you explain how that funding will be used (allocating internal developer time to work on the apps, paying upstream developers…). Can you point me to that page?

Search engines should be the business of libraries, not companies.

@mntmn @ashimokawa@mastodon.technology The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world... that phones and laptops absolutely MUST be super-thin. 😉

@mntmn Yes! Knowing what the world looks like today, with nearly everyone locked up in the Google/Apple duopoly and many of them don't even seem to understand the problem with that. Given that I do understand the problem, I see that the world needs change, we need to take control of our technology instead of being enslaved by it. And I can afford to but a Librem 5 and a MNT Reform, how could I not do it? Of course I will do it.

Starting a phone call from the terminal on a Birch. This call is to the good old "Fröken ur" speaking-clock service telling us the current time in Swedish. Fröken ur apparently existed since 1934 but it was not until 2020 that I learned how to call her from the terminal. 😃 Thanks @dos for the tip that xdg-open could be used in this way. @purism
