You asked for system services written in #Vala, and even on phones?
We present #q6meowd, a service for correctly switching between speaker and earpiece audio output on incoming calls by @NekoCWD :

#postmarketos MR: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5738
Previously the logic was written in #C, so isn't this an improvement? :D
Also if you are interested in how to write #ALSA and #DBUS code with Vala, I recommend looking into the sources!

Also I automated egg detection and it's available on the chicken tab on my Home Assistant dashboard :P

"We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing."

I’m currently working on a new Python WebKitGTK browser for GNOME. I’m aiming for it to be a better foundation to work on than Epiphany which has a huge C codebase and some outdated UI patterns.

#GNOME

I upgraded #GNOME #Calls to #gtk4 + #libadwaita for fun. It's now released in v47.0! Should be available soon in your #LinuxMobile distribution of choice 🚀

Massive thanks to @devrtz, @agx, @brainblasted, and Maximiliano for putting up with my beginner-level GTK skills!

As I have abandoned Android and am now daily-driving Gnome mobile / PostmarketOS on my OnePlus 6, I feel the urge to contribute to filling the app gap. Nobody seems to have asked for an app to record push ups and track progress, but that's what I want to accomplish now. Here are some first impressions of my Libadwaita app, which I call "Pushup Sessions":

I just realised that I'm using my #android phone just for banking, camera and video calls. Everything else I'm doing from my #postmarketos phone. The day is near my friends. The day is near...

What are your thoughts about Telegram after the recent news and the arresting of the founder? Is it mostly conspiracy theories about his ties with Russia? How do you think Telegram stacks up against other messaging platforms in terms of security, integrity etc.? Will you continue to use it?

9th graders learn Linux for the environment!

Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops.

Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware.

They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production.

They presented their work to peers and teachers!

Some even played games🚀

We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days!

I won a contest @libreoffice held, and I got all this KILLER LibreOffice swag from them.

I've used LibreOffice for so many years, from back in the mid 2000s when it was OpenOffice. It's better than Microsoft Office. It's totally free and open source, and you don't have to be logged in like you do now with Office.

Try it out if you haven't, you won't regret it.

I finally got the official #funding confirmation from @PrototypeFund .

Time to gather the needed contacts before I begin with #libobscura next month!

#libobscura is going to be a proof of concept #linux #camera library which doesn't make the same mistakes as #libcamera . I'll base it on @martijnbraam 's work with #libmegapixels .

Hello! We are a small independent bookshop in Stow, in the Scottish Borders. We are no longer using Twitter, for obvious reasons, but could use some new followers on Mastodon and other social media channels - where our presence is smaller than on Twitter. Please help / share this is you can! Thank you.
