#postmarketos#linuxmobile#gnome I have been daily driving PMOS edge with Gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6 for a week now. So far quite pleased with the performance, despite a few glitches, so I decided to donate some money to both of the providers making this possible - PMOS and Gnome. Thank you for making this possible. Looking forward to further development.
p.s. Managed to get the flashlight working today, another bonus! d.s.
So my Pixel 3a's #LineageOS install decided to brick itself today... any cool ROMs to try out that support AMOLED mode?
I was also considering mobile Linux, though I do really depend on Discord notifications due to my university; unsure how well that would work...
Laptop died yesterday but thanks to the #Librem5, the Baseus Dock, an HDMI Screen, a USB keyboard and #Phosh's docked mode I have access to most of the things via my phone.
#nitrokey helps a lot as that means I have my ssh keys available by just plugging it in.
Took me about 15min to notice that I didn't even plug a mouse in.
#sxmo#linuxmobile news:
i fixed the wifi-sec hotspot creation bug, added a 'GSM Disable' entry and a 'Wifi Credentials' to show pw in text and qr-code of the connected wifi or hotspot.
and:
i decided to stop messing with sourcehut, #git send-email and upstream, for fuck sake, its so demotivating! to which email address? why did it not only send the last commit? where is it gone?
i prefer to use my time for features/fixes and to document them, not to messup pipelines of others....
on my #linuxmobile#op6 i can now select anything on the screen and it will ocr the text, copy it to the clipboard and read it out loud for me. to start it, there is a button on the keyboard 😎
My 72 year old mother is in a hospital right now. I had to make and take all sorts of phone calls lately, just to manage things like insurance and care facilities.
It got me thinking about Linux phones. In this current time I couldn't use something like @postmarketOS because even missing a single call can cause huge difficulties and delays right now.
I really hope calls can be made more reliable in the future. 🙏

Is there anyone from the #LinuxMobile#mobileLinux community living in Berlin with a working #Librem5 battery who would be willing to help me booting and updating my device once? Unfortunately my battery is dead and I haven't found out how to quickly get a new one - however IIUC it would boot without battery once updated to a newer firmware (https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem-5-does-not-boot-without-battery/16954/11).
Randomly stumbled upon Sean Moss-Pultz's short post about Openmoko, featuring some photos of a working prototype of GTA03/3D7K, the cancelled successor to the Neo Freerunner that was being worked on around 2009. So far I have only heard verbal descriptions of how it looked like (usually described as "a soap dish" 😂) and seen photos of some casing mock-ups and bare PCBs, but never a complete device.
So... there's a free software conference (#FOSSY [1]) in #pdx (Portland, OR) this year, and I was thinking of applying to have a table there where folks could bring (supported) devices they want to flash with #postmarketOS, or just to hang out and chat about pmOS or #linuxmobile.
It seems you go away a little more from #linuxmobile@martijnbraam 😭 ... but thanks for all your work, you made lots of things possible ...
I just wonder, with all your investment in those systems (pinephone, pmos, megapixels ...), why aren't you daily driving a Linux Phone ? What are the blockers according to you ?
With some preparatory work to allow plugins to use objects from #phosh core and @arunmani 's nice work on custom quick settings already merged the often asked for caffeine toggle is within reach:
If you're using #phosh in docked mode a lot and (like me) play videos while doing other things then upcoming changes in #phoc to have apps always-on-top and keybindings to move windows into screen corners might be helpful:
