When splitting phosh-osk-stub out of #phosh one of my goals was "use it from day one". This required to hack in a virtual-keyboard driver so Electron apps (and other apps that can't deal with text-input-unstable-v3) can fall back to "emulated key presses" instead of using an input-method.
Prompted by input from Kai Lüke who (rightly) pointed out that the German layout was missing symbols in virtual-keyboard mode I revisited the situation and we can now handle more languages:

Dear @junocomputers if you sell computers and use Free Software Operating systems it is not o.k. to assume you can free ride on community support.
It makes me sad to have mails from users in my inbox that are stuck with an unusable device on a Sunday and are seeking help to get it going again. This is your job.
Please listen to your customer's issue. If it's a software issue in the latest upstream version forward it with a good description.

@droidian Congratulations! I noticed you didn't update phoc. Is there an issue with switching to newer wlroots or just: we didn't get around to it? For the moment this shouldn't be a problem on phones.

Just found the first and only RAW image viewer on linux that actually works:
1. rotates images correctly
2. shows embedded jpgs correctly
3. instantly switches between raw folder images
Basically now my default image viewer even for jpgs
Progress in supporting Indic languages in phosh-osk-stub:
- merged initial completer support for Indic languages based on libvarnam earlier this week
- have an MR to switch from libvarnam to more modern govarnam (thx @subins2000
- @arunmani is looking into making all the possible completions available
- have an MR to allow to switch between different completion engines automatically (e.g. use #hunspell for Us & De and #varnam for #Malayalam (see video below)

@ebassi that looks neat!
@bagder Firefox has their telemetry turned on by default too, but you can turn it off, not sure if in Chrome you can turn off all telemetry?

@cadey you mean stay on X? :P
@cadey you mean stay on X? :P
@purism congrats I always believed in your mission, and i feel all the De-Googled Android version phones offered to consumers still fall flat compared what you have achieved, a sustainable open source phone that is free/libre of large corporate constrainst and profit objectives that always harms users in the end
@exocomics how about the need for the cat butt starfish?
@toxi nice! hope they find themselves creating a Linux app one of those days, currently there is only one mapping app that works, pure-maps, no tracking depending on which app you choose.
@dylanmccall Mostly use Files Nautilus nothing special once you get the rawthumbnailer to work
