LINux on MOBile

Phoshi decided to be a bit more scary on #halloween. Try it yourself on https://phosh.mobi

#Phosh

we're up to 4 systemd service subpackages in #AlpineLinux now \o/

hopefully that list is gonna keep growing ^^

Fedora Linux 43 is here! What do you get with this update?

* New Anaconda WebUI installer on all desktop editions and spins
* @gnome 49 and being Wayland only
* Fedora CoreOS now based on bootc instead of rpm-ostree
* Under the hood changes like RPM 6.0
* All your favorite versions of Fedora […]

Two (hopefully) useful additions to #Phosh's quick settings: There's now a (optional) location service toggle to enable / disable location services (contributed by @gauthamx) and the caffeine quick setting can now automatically disable itself after a given period of time (contributed by […]

A screenshot from #phosh's gitlab page showing the number of open, closed and total bugs.

We closed the 1000th bug in #phosh today (and that's only counting the issues in the shell itself, not the other parts of the stack):

Hello from Phosh.mobi e.V. We are excited to announce the registration of Phosh.mobi e.V., a non-profit association under German law, that will foster development of Phosh and it’s many closely related components, as well as mobile Linux in general. This is one more step for our little tiger Link to heading

Our @ev@phosh.mobi says _Hello_ in a short post from the project blog: https://phosh.mobi/posts/hello-phosh-mobi-ev/

Audio Roles, Volumes and Routes What if you want to have your phone’s alarm clock volume different from your music playback volume and have the later go to speakers while alarms should continue to go to the phone’s speaker? While this could be handled manually via per application volume and sink setups, this doesn’t scale well on phones that also have emergency alerts, incoming calls, voice assistants, etc. It also doesn’t specify how to handle simultaneous playback - for instance, if an incoming call rings while music is playing.

With some #wireplumber changes landing we're a big step closer to enabling separate volume controls for things like media, alerts, alarms, etc. in #Phosh. Here's a short overview on the current state: https://phosh.mobi/posts/role-based-routing/

earlier today i reproduced running an amdgpu (polaris10) as eGPU on MNT Reform with RK3588 over PCIe breakout, something i didn't expect to become possible. i also got a glimpse of sway working (instead of just kmscube) but my cables are too wonky for a […]

Believe it or not: #deltachat is growing audio/video calls starting with the currently rolling 2.22 releases ... A few people already had two hour long stable calls :)

Calls are an experimental option while we continue to work on reliability, UX/UI revisions, and configuration of TURN servers […]

I gave a short talk at the #UbuntuSummit about funding @gnome! Watch it to learn about how GNOME is actually funded, and what we’re doing to help ensure it stays sustainable. 👀

There’s a very useful pull request by @nemuii for #GNOME Podcasts: the app now remembers the last played episode and reloads it when reopened ➡️ https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/podcasts/-/merge_requests/441

home page picture of https://testrun.org text title "Testrun.org" with the sub title "experimenting with the future of Email" the picture is a collage and shows the head of a dinosaur with an open mouth and many teeth trying to swallow a Zeppelin that seems to be flying directly into the mouth. Next to the dinosaur head is a classic "@" email symbol. the middle part is blue, and has overlay graphics of a moon-like planet and some old computers in the back the bottom part contains a picture of a sysadmin ca. 1975 in front of computer screens that show green letters on a black screen. There also are separately three cryptic letter chains that seem to translate to "Communications", "Command" and "Sigma". Another "@" sign is left of the computer screens.

Not taking Venture Capital money means:

- No pressure to maximize monetization of usage (for every million of VC funding you need to find ~100+ Million in value later).

- No prioritization of growing fast with PR campaigns that promise the moon and stumble on […]

Preparing for my #ARM #Chromebook mainlining project.

Is my old main laptop faster than a new-ish Chromebook?

In left corner current 2-core champion: Lenovo X230, i5-3380M! Opposite, ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3200FVA with 8 cores! 4xA73 and 4xA53!

The challenge is... compiling #bevy !

I gave my #Linux phone to my friend who is great at music and this is what happened 10s later ...

Going to be doing a shared talk on how to write apps for Linux desktops and phones with a friend (who is not on Fedi) early next year at #vanlug.

I'll be doing it for GNOME apps via GTK, she'll be doing it for KDE apps via Qt, and we'll be talking about how all of that is possible via XDG […]

[mobile-config-firefox, happiness, alpine]

@hrast Not much, just Alpine 3.22 (the base of the current postmarketOS 25.06 stable) moving on to Firefox ESR 140.4 (from 128.something), which means that https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox does not have to support […]

He just mentioned #librephone (and LineageOS and Graphene, but no mention of #LinuxMobile alternatives. Do they really not know in Boston? Sure, fully blob-free alternatives are rare (IIRC, a #PinePhone with some kill-switches turned-off and atk9k_htc WiFi is at least close), but […]

Calling LLMs 'Bullshit Generators' is a good idea.

So PureOS 11 (crimson) on Librem 5 has become daily driveable, as evidenced by me upgrading the system of my daily driver to it and not having much to complain about. From oldoldstable to oldstable - heading towards modernity one step at a time 😂 #pureos #librem5 #linuxmobile #mobilelinux
