Mobian/Debian on mobile Sprint during #DebConf22 #DebCamp https://lists.debian.org/debconf-discuss/2022/07/msg00034.html

Here is a closer look at our journey of implementing encrypted VoIP Calls. The part 2 of this technical post sheds some light on the inner workings of it all.

"Fani: I have seen references about #sustainability in #Librem5. At the #FSFE we are also dealing with sustainability in software. What do you understand as a sustainable technology? [..]

Guido: For me, technology that has been produced with sustainability in mind allows the user to replace software and parts, as well as #repair the device over a long period of time without special equipment. [..] having free drivers is a requirement for sustainability."

It's been a ride 🖤

Read the interview with Guido Günther, a developer at Purism, on how the free and convergent #PureOS system and the #Phosh graphical environment merge the phone and desktop experience into one, and how they benefit mobile device users.

Thanks to the kind work of our volunteer translators, you can also read it in Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.

Just testing a newer kernel for Jumpdrive on the #librem5. Serial console access in u-boot and the kernel is a must!

I just released a new version of "cast", which is my GNU/Linux (mobile first) app for viewing Swedish public service TV.

Get it while it is fresh: https://code.smolnet.org/micke/cast/releases/tag/v0.1.0

We are moved all of our repos from Gitlab.com to https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team

Please use this for the new home for all things Mobian Gitlab related.

📱 On my way to #Debconf22 and it was the first time I could show the QR code of a train ticket on #phosh's lockscreen to the conductor (had to resort to unlock ➡️ nautilus ➡️ evince so far).

For that I stitched together a lockscren plugin that leverages #evince's libevince. Hope the other tickets will works just as well tomorrow.

Remember when they sneered at Geocities pages for being unusable eyesores? It's true, those old sites had some, uh, *idiosyncratic* design choices, but at least they reflected a real person's exuberant ideas about what looked and worked well. Today's web is an unusable eyesore *by design*.

phosh 0.20.0~beta2 is out 🚀📱 :

It fixes most of the things for 0.20.0 but there's more.

Check out the full release notes at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.20.0_beta2 for details.

Calls v43.alpha.2 has been released and is coming to a mobile (or non mobile) device near you soon 🚀

This time around there were mostly smaller fixes and the usual updated translations \o/

If an application is not adaptive and hence doesn't fit the phone screen under #phosh, #phoc's scale-to-fit could help since some time. With the recent phoc release this can happen at runtime and there's a GUI for that now too:

Please boost for reach. So, anyone that is working on FOSS projects like web apps, sites, Linux apps, desktop environments, or other user interfaces, please let me know if you want them tested for accessibility. I can do both CLI, web, and GUI testing, and app testing on Android. I'm running Debian (on a ChromeBook but that's not too important), so just give me the name of the package, or the URL of the site or app. I can also do Flatpak!

A friend pointed out the EFF has put out a guide for camping.

Please keep it in mind:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/security-and-privacy-tips-people-seeking-abortion

I think this goes without saying, but please, go on camping trips to other places (like say, Chicago or Canada).

But do not post details about your camping trips.

Use a VPN to learn details of your camping trips, especially if you do a staycation.

I 100% support the right to go on camping trips. But do not tell me about them. Do not tell Anyone about your camping trips unless they need to know.

And if you haven't already: Delete any app that tracks periods. It can and WILL be used against you.
