I've *finally* found the fix for telephony audio on the #librem5 runnig #nixos!
All I needed was the librem5.pa configuration for pulse audio from @purism's upstream repository to correctly add the modem as source/sink.

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:
gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue
gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue
gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue

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.

#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 😃

Best thing about ChatGPT is that I have not seen any posts or articles about NFT since ChatGPT showed up.

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.

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.
