Some exciting news:
With the help of a tester (thanks kyeh!), #mobilelinux though vvmd/vvmplayer ( https://gitlab.com/kop316/vvmplayer ) finally supports Visual Voicemail on all major US carriers!
If you have an MVNO on any of the major carrier, you should be able to easily check if the parent settings work for you. If they do, *please* make an MR in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-info so we can officially support more carriers!
This is a weird request, but I figure the worst I can get for it is silence. I'm totally #blind and have very bad hearing. To set up a device through its inaccessible software, I'm in need of a sighted person for about an hour and a half to two hours who can access a computer remotely, speaks and reads English, and can describe images and graphs. The person needs to be quite patient with follow-up questions, needs to be willing to repeat if needed, as well as be able to click on items and describe what happens on the screen. The person needs to be fairly detail oriented because some of the images appear to have arrows and other ways to expand them, according to the manual. Though I'm happy to be reasonable, I have no clue how much to offer as payment, this is my first request of this kind. I'm posting it because I know we have some blind people here who may be able to point me towards someone who has done this before and may be willing to do it for such a short period. Boosts welcome, indeed, they're appreciated. #hearingimpaired #software #A11Y #accessibility #remote
@patrick Very true, but I'd be willing to add a few hundred bucks for such an option (if it's USB-connected)
An m.2 connector (and proper antennas already built into the chassis, which is likely a costly investment as well) for a USB-connected modem like the BM818 used in the @purism #Librem5 would be just perfect (see, I'm daydreaming again!)
I could of course deal with an external USB modem, but that's another device to carry (and not forget to pack), which I'd rather avoid
Debian Celebrates 30 years! Thank you everyone! https://bits.debian.org/2023/08/debian-turns-30.html #debianday #debian #debian30years
There is a long standing issue in #phoc (the #wayland compositor used with #phosh (but as I recently learned also other projects like #bananui) that makes windows flip their size when crossing a screen edge (as tiling is (incorrectly) kicking in). This makes dragging windows around in docked mode harder than necessary.
This is about to improve and (thanks to the ground work over the past months) we can also add some visual feedback:
Sure, Android might be "Open Source" good luck trying to tweak part of the core system without having to build and re-flash the ENTIRE OS, and probably format your phone.
Android was not built to be modified by anyone who doesn't use the term "end user" on a near daily basis.
and like, damn girl, we can do better than this
Lightning talks in #FroSCon's mobile devroom. @linmob talking about https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/
The #Stockholm #Pride parade today got a visit from two military jet planes flying by. #ShotOnLibrem5
Oh, my dusty Librem5!
I really need to update my Librem5 that is sadly gathering dust on my desktop and to follow Anbox on Byzanthium and Anyone Successfully Run WayDroid on Librem 5? (the answer to this is yes!)

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (32/2023): Summer: #FrOSCon slides and not much more
Time flew by in my talk and I didn't manage to talk about everything that I originally had planned, but it was still pretty fun and I hope you enjoyed it as well!
Have a look at the slides here:

and the recording here:

Directly afterwards we had the #phosh Get Together. If memory serves we must've been between 20 to 30 people (?) and lively discussions where had around all things #phosh and #MobileLinux
Thanks for coming!

Ich hoffe Mal das nicht auffällt das mir langweilig ist. Wir müssen halt warten...
Egal, ich schaue mir jetzt Mal den Vortrag von @devrtz an.
Last week parts of the #MobileLinux community got together at #FrOSCon and, dare I say, had a great time in our "FOSS on Mobile" devroom 🌈
Throughout two days we had some hacking, lightning talks, workshops and BoFs!
Saturday morning I had the pleasure of welcoming around 5 people (at 10:00 in the morning!)
to the room.
