For practical reasons, photos that you #ShotOnLibrem5 are processed into JPEGs with lower quality than what the camera can do. There are some (complex) ways in which this processing could be made faster and therefore cram more pixels and algorithms that make things prettier, but meanwhile...

Each photo you take is stored as both raw DNG and processed JPG - so you can go back to raw data and retroactively gain quality. See https://dosowisko.net/l5/photos/ for an example.

#librem5 #mobilelinux

I released a small update (version 0.4.2) to Satellite, my simple #GPS / #GNSS app for #MobileLinux: https://codeberg.org/tpikonen/satellite (also in #Flathub).

The visible changes are the addition of 'Geoidal separation' field to the display data and a more compact display of various DOP values. As usual, there are also some small bugs fixed, and an update to the Gnome SDK version 45 in the flatpak package.

I don't know about lineageOS, but the #Librem5 comes with #PureOS out of the box, supports #PostmarketOS and #mobian and it has a 3.5 mm jack.

I had already disabled automatic HighContrast in #phosh but the last days were so ☀️ that I flipped it on again.

Thankfully this doesn't need any `gsettings set sm.puri.phosh automatic-high-contrast true` anymore but can be done conveniently in the mobile-setting's sensor panel added by @devrtz in 0.29.0.

@xethos @devrtz thats why i keep my librem.one subscription. No wasted electronics, a steady payment and less a guilt feeling of 'donating' for a service.

@devrtz Purism is doing the right thing by pricing their hardware to support software developers. With Red Hat beginning to pull support from the Linux desktop, we need another company that can fill the gap. @purism is our best hope today.

@julianfairfax @deedend @devrtz @purism

Linux wasn't a "desktop" platform to begin with either so that argument doesn't make sense.

Linux is what we make out of it by contributing to the solution. The Linux kernel has the capability to run well on mobile. We have mobile shells and adaptive toolkits and devices that can run them well. We need to continue to grow the app ecosystem and work on infrastructure bits sure but this very thread proves that this is happening at a nice pace.

@devrtz @julianfairfax @agx @deedend @purism @tbernard well we certainly extend our warmest invitation to anyone wishing to package Flare, Pipeline, or Railway for Debian, or any another distribution!

@deedend @devrtz @purism Australia is big but I know there's folks there with Librem 5s so maybe a meetup style thing is possible at one point.

I have been daily driving mine since February of this year. Before that, I daily drove the PPP for a year and before that I daily drove the PP for a year.
The #Librem5 was a major step up in quality and usability from day one. I loved my pinephones, but I don't think that I could go back to them.

@deedend @devrtz @purism I encourage everyone to try PureOS on the Librem 5 to judge daily usability of the Librem 5 and if it's "the time yet".

One shouldn't draw that conclusion by looking at other devices (running other distros).

A single missing one line line patch or broken driver can considerably mess up daily usability.

@purism @agx It runs so well on this! It never misses a frame! Whoever made the rendering of the top and bottom drawers, let them know they did a great job. Literally all other apps have choppy irregular low FPS, but the #Phosh UI is super smooth.

I always thought it would be too heavy, but nope. Not at all.
