@dalias Phone screens these days have gotten so big, I don't mind having deadspace; it makes it easier to reach stuff. (and since the phone has an OLED screen, I could theoretically set my wallpaper to black and just pretend it's got a smaller screen). But I like my wallpaper more than I like the apps.

@dalias It's an obvious downside: in order to grab the edge (without e.g. taking away your ability to grab the app's scrollbar), there has to be a portion of the screen considered the gaps...
At one point, I had a keybinding to toggle the size of the the gaps, but since dropping my monitor scale from 3 to 2.666, the wasted screen real estate hasn't bothered me: most video players have a fullscreen option.

(I'm really hoping to get people who like compiling compositors on their phones interested, that way they can fix the bugs and I won't have to!)

It's #wvkbd

See https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/SwipeBehaviors and https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/dotfiles/tree/enchilada/item/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf for my config.

I don't use [proprietary] Discord, though Vaxry claims that since Drew's contact "We managed to improve the situation drastically, and are now striving, more successfully than ever, to maintain an actually inclusive community revolving around Hyprland."
https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-inclusiveActivists (of course, I haven't seen that private evidence-- trust whoever, or no one)

workspace_swipe_touch was just merged into #Hyprland; I would say this is almost a competitive #mobilelinux interface, but still not a perfect drop-in for sway. #hymo

@yoshi you have to change it to "2024_filename" (no .wav extension) ... probably would be a good patch to make it work with the extension there because that also tripped me up when I first used it.

@yoshi (I used https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp and a custom script instead of steps 1 and 2)

@yoshi There's a lot going on, but it's like this.
1. Get SRT files for your unedited audio files
2. use srt2tsv to make a tsv file
3. edit the tsv file
4. use tsv2roughcut to make an mp3 of your edit

That "edit your podcast using Vim" program (recently mentioned on the #postmarketOS podcast) now supports #micro https://github.com/scateu/tsv_edl.vim because I realized I have a project that this is a good fit for, and I write micro plugins #lua. It's nice to have a lightweight audio/video editor that works in my favorite text editor.

@vitali64sur I think the process started when martijn left pmos core team and tooted 'pmOS is becoming Gnome OS' after they met with pottering.

@TMakarios

So if I
* don't use green/yellow
* don't give six turns
* don't have on-screen-keyboard

I'll be safe?

Just wondering because the game I coincidentally launched on my website today might have some similarities with theirs. #purple

@TMakarios can someone link me to an #opensource #wordle clone I can host on my server. Bonus points if it has no server-side requirement (or uses PHP for server-side requirement)

What's a good slicer (for #3Dprinting) that's easy to install in #alpinelinux stable (not edge)? (maybe I need to convince @anjan to move #Cura into community...)

@Lehmanator @CalcProgrammer1 No VoLTE. If you use verizon (which shut off their 2G towers), that means no calls. For others, it means a 2G call experience (grainy), if your mic/speakers work. Calls on mobile linux have been janky in my experience (bad alsa UCM's, issues with pulseaudio, pipewire, callaudiod --restarting often helps).

@float13 @Lehmanator #waydroid is supposed to be the right answer (but has no google play services); I would say a better airgap is to have a second device that's not connected to the internet (and use an offline-capable maps app, like #OrganicMaps).
Being comfortable saying no to most proprietary services is prerequisite to daily-driving mobile linux.

@CalcProgrammer1 @Lehmanator My modem is in the mode "allowed: 2g, 3g, 4g; preferred: 4g" and it seems to do the switching automatically. (on TMobile's network in the USA, FWIW)
That being said, I use #Dino with #jmp.chat for telephony, and that has less jank, along with working on multiple devices at a time.
Why let the carriers lock you out of the PSTN when JMP.chat can bridge the gap using open source SW.

@dcz I used to use #wl-ime-type https://git.sr.ht/~emersion/wl-ime-type as my agent as it was faster than #wtype, but it doesn't support deletion, or rather nonterminal apps insert delete characters when I send them with it.

@Lehmanator #MobileLinux is here. Buy a #Librem5 or #OnePlus6 and enjoy a "mainline" experience with #postmarketOS (or #mobian). Or maybe go for the halium experience by buying a (bootloader-unlocked) #Pixel3a and running #UbuntuTouch (or #droidian). Even try a #PinePhone or #PinePhonePro. I'm sure there are other daily-drivable devices too, you said "any level of jank".
