The world needs more libhandy tutorials..

@amosbatto @purism I'm pretty sure now that we can drive 4K UHD with the #Librem5:

What do you think about #RadioLockdown, a directive that may prevent you to install new software on any radio equipment?

There is a public consultation that closes today at midnight CEST. Have your say!

Podcasts (3/3)

The gnome podcast notifications are cool.

Here’s one on the lock screen while a podcast is running. The other is in the notification area of the settings panel (shown on top of a blank browser page).

So many people saying they're switching from Firefox. Won't this only make the problem worse?

If you're switching to Brave or qutebrowser or UnGoogled Chromium or something, you're only strengthening Google's monopoly. If you're switching to a Webkit-based browser like Epiphany, you're shifting the monopoly towards Safari, whose parent company doesn't consider the Web a priority.

That Mozilla has bad management doesn't change the fact that Firefox is the most viable option for the open web.

If you didn't port your app to libhandy 1, now is the best time. We even have a migration guide to help you! https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libhandy/hdy-migrating-0-0-to-1.html

If you ported to a libhandy 1 alpha, I also strongly recommend you to update to 0.90 as you are guaranteed you won't have to change a thing after.

This extensive and thoughtful post by a member of the #Librem5 community does a good job of explaining the past and present mobile Linux ecosystem and why Purism's approach with phosh makes strategic sense long-term. https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/advantages-of-phosh/
