just an opinion; for folks trying promote their free software projects.

You don't need to trash talk other/previous free software projects that exist(ed) in the same area in order to promote your project.

Every now and then people wonder how to replace #phosh's on screen keyboard and what interfaces are needed. Here's some notes on that: https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-osk-interface/

@cas Thanks for all your work on the Oneplus 6! A while back I bought one second hand and I have been daily driving #postmarketos with #sxmo ever since. Compared to the pinephone, it's a much improved experience!

Snow!

Update for my #Phosh overlay hacks, in the end I decided to go with gestures using lisgd gesture daemon from #SXMO

⬅️ Emulate Escape/Alt+F4
⬆️ Rofi with drun/window/web search modes
↔️ Switch windows back and forth
↗️ ↖️ Custom quick menu/Keyboard layout change

The phone is running #Droidian, mobile #Linux distro, you can check out supported devices here - https://droidian.org/ (even camera and fingerprint scanner works on most!)

#LinuxOnMobile #MobileLinux

If anyone is in interested, I uploaded everything there - https://github.com/vacuumbeef/phosh-overlay-gestures/

I'm sure it wasn't done in the best way, and it is not very comfortable to share, but I felt it was worth doing anyway

Detailed and credible looking report of #LawfulInterception #MitM on an #xmpp server hosted at #Hetzner in Germany: http://notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.ru-mitm/

Looks like a transparent bridge was deployed in front of the actual server, obtained dedicated certificates from #LetsEncrypt and MitMed all incoming client connections since July. It was discovered because the LE certificate expired 🤦

We are rapidly approaching three years of Weekly Updates on #LinuxMobile! 📱🎉

Please help on with coming up a nice summary of all that time to celebrate! The pad for this is at https://pad.hacc.space/5g5RIS0qSh2hoPhMzCsL9w?both#

Thank you, @Blort for the great idea!

the april blog post is out, ditching duckduckgo for mojeek. i've loved using this search engine for a few months now, and wanted to write about why i opted to use it in place of duckduckgo. https://hamblingreen.com/

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

#LinuxMobile #gtk #gnome #librem5

What kind of Linux distribution is running on your main computer?

#linux #distributions

why do I support right to repair? simple: i want to upload my own MIDI files to my washing machine to play when it finishes a cycle without voiding my warranty

Me trying to figure out how an API works in a FOSS tool: "Let's go to the git repository to see what it does."

Me trying to figure out how an API works in a multi-million dollar VLSI tool: "Lets guess and check a bunch of random ideas because nothing works like it should."

*sigh*

IMO the set of software licenses which covers basically everyone's needs are MIT/BSD, WTFPL, CC-0, Apache 2.0, GPL, AGPL, MPL, and OFL.

If you're using anything else, you should have a good reason.

My door's always open if you need help choosing a license for your needs!
