Two things around the corner for less flicker during boot in #phosh and #phoc (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/890, https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/merge_requests/265)

Kudos to @francois for the #plymouth theme, @dos for plymouth crash fixing and @craftyguy for osk-sdl

Making a #sip call from the #calls app on the #librem5 (and yes audio worked ;) ). This is still a development version of gnome-calls. And work still needs to be done to make it more user friendly and integrated with other components. But hey it is progress :D
Credits go out to: @devrtz that has been working to add #sip on gnome-calls. Also the account on the phone is an jmp.chat account, shoutout to them as jmp.chat is an awesome service :D

Finally took the time to rework the splash screen code from January to get it closer to designs and to mergeable form:

#phosh #librem5 #purism #gnomeonmobile #gnome #linux

...and you can swipe it away too in case you thing s.th. got stuck:

Encrypted USB sticks are now automounted too in #phosh , no need to go via nautilus (thanks to GMountOperation):

#librem5 #purism #gnomeonmobile #gnome #linux

Librem 5 (left) vs Canon SX740 HS (right)

Both photos are taken at around 3MP (quarter the resolution L5 actually supports, but for now only from the command line, while I took it using Megapixels). Manually adjusted the raw image from L5 to have similar color balance as Canon's photo.

Coming soon to a Librem 5 near you: support for the internal OpenPGP smart card reader.

Posting from the Tootle Mastodon client which just made it into the Librem 5 PureOS staging repo today!

Librem 5 users using the standard amber repo should see it in a few days.

Using #gimp on the #librem5 works better now thanks to the new display scaling feature in #phosh 0.8.0 #UserFreedom #mobile #gnu #linux #freesoftware @purism @agx #gnomeonmobile

Librem 5 Update: Shipping Estimates and CPU Supply Chain

"It’s been a busy holiday and New Year’s season at Purism as we continue to ship out Librem 5s to backers each week. We know for those who haven’t received their Librem 5 yet, what they most want to know is when their Librem 5 will arrive."

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I would like to download software
With a license that is freed

I just want code for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is GNU
