I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)
This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?
Hopefully if we can show @signalapp that there is interest, they will finally claim the #Flatpak (and hopefully the #Arm version from Elagost 1 at the same time)
More fixes in #phosh and #phoc ➕ allows to reorder lock screen plugins (thanks gauthamx@mastodon.world) ➕ improvements in phosh-osk-stub's virtual-keyboard mode in non US layouts (e.g. for electron apps) and initial #varnam support for Malayalam.
He look, 🎅 just dropped #phosh 0.34.0 🚀 📱 . The bulk of things happened on the Wayland compositor side but the phone shell and other bits also got some improvements and fixes.
I repurposed my old Mi A1 smartphone as a Linux-based audio player!
I 3D-printed the brackets to attach the Fiio Q1 mark II DAC+AMP and enabled the USB sound card drivers in the kernel (https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/2531).
Thanks to #Amberol and #postmarketOS for making this possible! 😊
Today we are very pleased to announce the release of #UbuntuTouch#OTA3#Focal. The third stable release based on Ubuntu 20.04 brings many improvements and changes. All the details can be found in the OTA-3 blog.
Today i flashed postmarketos using the web flasher, in less than 10 minutes i booted into gnome with the mobile patches, thanks to everyone that made this posible!
This release brings Improved audio device selection, notifications for ongoing calls, a new sensors panel (thanks @devrtz) suspend from system menu (thanks undef) and more!
Let's rephrase that. I want a phone that belongs to me, and not to Google or Apple. So I'm daily driving the #PinephonePro with #MobileLinux (to be exact: #PostmarketOS with #SXMO).
(And thank you to all the great people behind @postmarketOS for their great work so far! Keep it up! And not just so my #potato becomes less taxing to use 😉 )
Among other QoL improvements this fixes the suspend inhibitor when using your phone as a WiFi hotspot and gives more screen estate due to a narrow home bar (by mathew-dennis),
Android 14 changed the color of the low battery icon from red to white.
Recently, for some reason, I've stopped getting "Battery low" notifications at very low percents...but I still get them at 30% & 25% (I have it set to start at 30%).
...so now I rarely notice when my phone is about to die. This has interrupted me on so many occasions.
My hatred of Android has been growing exponentially lately.
My phone, despite my best efforts, works against my wishes on behalf of others.
This is a device society expects you to carry 24/7 & acts as your primary gateway to both digital & IRL services. i.e. mandatory.
#Google is a cartel colonizing the attention spans of billions of people. It must be broken up & the #AOSP project should be put under the control of a democratic organization
#MobileLinux cannot come fast enough. I'l tolerate any level of jank to never have to touch Android again.
