The small N900 screen was good, since a resistive-screen stylus controlled all those linux app buttons so easily. No finger-width spacing! The stylus was simple plastic, easy to replace.

I read makers saying they don't want to make room for a stylus, but honestly I would be willing to hold mine on with a rubberband, to get that level of touch-screen control again.

A limitation of using #phosh in docked mode (having an external 🖥️ , 🖱️ ⌨️ attached to your 📱 ) was that #phoc wouldn't support multiple workspaces. There's an MR that adds initial workspace support now (which might even land for 0.46) 🧵 :

I didn't get the memo that there is "Landesweiter #Warntag" in RLP today and was surprised by the sirens. The #pinephone I use for testing catched the #cellbroadcast message 😅 :

so yes the rumors are correct (this was leaked on reddit a few days ago, oh well)

the #FLX1 will be getting support for hooking up to external displays. the difference here compared to other approaches is that it will be running full #GNOME shell instead of #Phosh desktop mode (with some integration). as much as we love Phosh, GNOME shell simply provides a superior experience on a large display (and our community members voted for this too)

Oh, and regarding the calendar's notification not doing any buzzing: just assign any feedback to the `notification-new-generic` , event in the feedback theme.

We don't do that atm when a notification doesn't set a category to not make people go crazy.

Now with more nuanced haptic we might emit s.th. by default though, so I've opened source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbac but this is already configurable in current releases, just need to add an event to the theme.

GitLabdata: Add an event for notification-new-generic (!160) · Merge requests · Librem5 / feedbackd · GitLabWe didn't do so until now to not make people go crazy with buzzing phones. Now that we can fine tune the feedback strength better lets see how...

@benedikt reported some issues with #xwaylandvideobridge and #phosh and it turned out it uses _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY which was proposed > 2️⃣ 0️⃣ years ago to be added to the wm-spec (lists.freedesktop.org/archives) but never landed although Qt, GTK and others use (or used) it.

That just changed (gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg) and we also already have #wlroots support now too so phosh can happily use it too.

But maybe I'm the only person that finds this kind of archeology exciting 🙃 .

Not pleased with #Fedora KDE #PlasmaMobile on my StarLite. It’s fairly slow, Bluetooth wouldn’t connect easily, and screen locking broke.

The screen locked after 5 minutes but it said the Lock Screen was broken. I had to Ctrl-Alt-F3 into a text terminal and loginctl unlock-session 2. What if I didn’t have a keyboard connected?

Later the Lock Screen worked but it demanded a PIN. I never set a PIN. Thankfully it accepted my password typed on my keyboard.

Let’s see if #Phosh on Debian works.
