I am on an impromptu trip to an unfamiliar area due to a family emergency, and my rental car had no navigation built in. This meant I truly needed to depend on live turn-by-turn GPS navigation in Pure Maps on my Librem 5 for the first time.

It actually worked great! I packed a car vent magnetic mount and I was able to route to various destinations, reroute automatically, and otherwise use it like you'd expect.

Odysee as a platform has always given me bad vibes, and I could never explain why. Well, turns out that the CEO is a libertarian techbro who cosies up to white nationalists, wants to lock up Fauci in Gitmo and torture “every government regulator” 🤡
RIP bozo

@dcz presented how you can add/adapt keyboard layouts for #squeekboard, the OSK used by default in #phosh

Afterwards Prawn talked about Kupfer, a distribution derived from #arch and currently focused on "ex-Android" devices.

I'm really excited for the next release of geoclue: I have worked with the devs to make it functional with #mobilelinux:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/159
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/155
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/160

and GPS works really well with Pure Maps. This was honestly one of the few things that I have really missed when I left Android.

@hackernews
#ubuntu is (or at least started as) #debian #unstable freezed every 6 months. Please, explain how a rolling Ubuntu based distro differs from Debian unstable 😃

Second day of our building week and some rooms are already hardly recognizable. We have a few working sites across Kanthaus where people are working in small teams. Coordination and #reproductiveWork (cooking, cleaning, child care…) is also significant, with about 20 people in the house.

I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of How To Write A Tech Book!
If you have ever thought about writing a tech book, but wasn't sure how, this is for you. I distill twenty years of experience writing a dozen books for multiple publishers (and self-publishing) into a book that walks you step-by-step through the full process.

Just learned this morning that Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, passed away recently at 62. I’ve been a user of Vim since my 20s, so even though I’ve never met Bram his work has been an important part of my life.

Is your phone also running #arch ? :)
