#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 55. Admittedly, it's not the full Sailfish OS operating install suggested by @piggz (I appreciate the advice and will return to it), but today I have at least managed to get a sensible glibc and gcc combination installed.

@piggz Thanks; I'll definitely take a look! This is all a learning process for me 😄
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 54. Updating the Debian Buster Dockerfile so it runs its own SSH server.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 53. Running Debian Buster on Ubuntu Noble Numbat to build Sailfish OS libraries written in Java.
The fact this is even possible -- and with so little effort -- is just brilliant. But I have a nagging feeling it's hiding a much deeper problem (mumble mumble.. versioning... mumble mumble... NixOS).
@piggz Oh, nice, it makes a lot of sense. Do you know what it was running? Was it Sailfish OS?
@vige Thanks for the advice. I'll look into switching to cmake.
I must admit I'm not a huge cmake fan as it seems cludgy and conceptually brittle.
On the other hand I'm not a qmake fan either. The documentation has always been poor in my experience.
So your advice tips the scale for me .It sounds like I should be switching over for Sailfish OS stuff.
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 52. Time to rebuild the NewPipe Extractor library for aarch64 again, but this time my phone isn't gong to cut it!

Jolla C2 just got a deep dive review from LinuxEasy. They looked past the specs and into what really matters: why this is a true community phone, and how that shows up in daily use.

@vige Oh, really good question. I know Qt is transitioning (has fully transitioned now probably?) from qmake to cmake and that Sailfish OS is on the same track, but I noticed that qmake is still the sfdk default, so I thought it would be the safer choice.
But, if you're telling me that cmake is the new now, then I would probably switch to using it instead.
What would you recommend?

An interesting report on #cash acceptance in the UK from the House of Commons.
My interest is one of #privacy since that's my motivation for favouring cash, apparently alongside 20-25% of others who prefer cash according to the evidence in the report.
Economic privacy is of particular importance for victims of domestic and economic abuse, and I'd argue a right that should be afforded to everyone.

David Llewellyn-Jones boosted:
The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;
- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)
- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days
- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity
And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.
