Open source powers so much of the world, but the people behind it often go unseen. It was wonderful to meet so many maintainers and contributors in person at an event like @FOSSBackstage. These are real people doing critical work on that we all rely on, and they deserve all the recognition and appreciation. A huge thank you to everyone who gives their time and energy to FOSS, and a special thank you to these individuals (and their teams) who have worked with the Sovereign Tech Agency. 1/

The initial draft MR to put a wallpaper on #phosh's lockscreen is now >1.5y old but it's not draft any longer 🎉 (I'll spare you the details why this took so long).

Successfully tested receiving #cellbroadcast messages on the #PinePhone as well:

# _build/test/mmcbmmonitor
[/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/CBM/0] new cbm: received
4371: Hallo, this is a CBS test message

So hopefully all devices supporting `+CSCB` on an AT port should now be able to show these messages in #phosh (if the MR makes it into the next #ModemManager release).

The #osmocom stack is such a great help for testing these things.

#LinuxMobile

As there's often the question how to move the cursor when using phosh-osk-stub as OSK: Here's a short demo. If you *really* want cursor keys one can add add them as keys to the terminal layout's shortcut bar via

gsettings set sm.puri.phosh.osk.Terminal shortcuts "[<yourothershortcuts>, 'Up', 'Down', 'Left', 'Right']"

#Phosh #LinuxMobile

77 commits later, and #libobscura has a scripting system good enough to initialize a #USB #Camera

So it's back to the same functionality, except with extra complexity, lol.

Next up: organize the commits (don't leave a mess if you want contributors) and make sure #librem5 works the same way.
