@starshipgazer @elonmusk that was such an impressive launch fare well ship 25! Did you see it in person?
@mntmn your welcome now worries!
@mntmn https://forums.puri.sm/t/update-mar-25th-testing-quectel-em12-g-wwan-4g-modem-on-librem-5/19683 if i send you a EM12-G would you like to give that one a try as well? I was never able to get it to work myself but maybe things have changed on the driver or kernel support side.

@makuru why is this marked as sensitive material, I think too many posts on mastodon are either required or unnecessarily restrict content, which is a shame
I ever so often close the 🎵- player and when grabbing the 📱 I'd have to unlock it to just start the 🎵 player and then 🔒 the 📱 right away again (as there's #mpris controls on the 🔒-screen then anyway).
Hence I wrote a small #phosh plugin to add arbitrary "launchers" to the 🔒-screen via a desktop file.
