@jwcph @itsfoss You can use Warehouse by @Heliguy (thanks) to create snapshots and restore them on the other device - no terminal required! I used this to restore my #flatpaks with their data on a #Librem5 Linux phone after reflashing #postmarketOS.

Lilbits: Updates on Pebble, Rebble, and Aluminium (Android + ChromeOS for PCs)
Google’s upcoming PC operating system that merges elements of Android and ChromeOS has a new name… or at least a code name. And there are updates on both sides of the dispute between Core Devices (the company brining Pebble watches back from the dead) and Rebble (the developers who made sure that old Pebble watches were only mostly dead).
Last week the Rebble team made accusations that […]

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (47/2025): Duranium enters the chat

For anyone with experience using convergence on Linux phones like the #Librem5, the main difference is that while the programs on Android Desktop are consistent between the phone and external display (ie. Your tabs in Vanadium remain no matter on which display you access them), you cannot use the phone as an integrated secondary display.
@NebulaTide @jkn Unfortunately, switching to alternatives is simply not enough; we also need to be unavailable on SMS, Whatsapp and other proprietary platforms.
Using a data SIM on #LinuxMobile, I have managed to onboard many people, over a hundred, to #FOSS messengers. Before when I preached freedom and #privacy, there'd always be resistance. Now people just accept that WA, SMS, etc are simply not an option and they readily hop on to alternatives if they need to reach me.

#librem5 #postmarketos The librem5 is booting into debug shell. I have tried all versions of pmos including edge. I am booting pmos off the sdcard by holding the volume key down during boot. Any help is appreciated
This is what happens when you just want to fix a NIR validation in a gles3 CTS 😅
- hack on the NIR pass → give up
- wonder why it even exists
- check the blob cmdstream
- “why are we doing it this way?”
- rip the whole path out: 7 files, +11/-74
- fix an st/mesa bug
- glmark2-es2-wayland --off-screen jumps ~835 → ~874 🚀
→ fewer shader variants + fewer instructions.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (46/2025): Plasma Mobile 6.5 and new Jolla hardware

Warning to #Librem5 users. Due to a downstream kernel
patch automatic brightness can go to too low values resulting in a black screen. You can work around that by setting the PHOSH_DEBUG=backlight-non-linear in your environment until this is revolved. A
possible solution is a one line kernel change.
10/10
That's it, let's see what 0.52.0 brings 🥳
Automatic brightness can now be toggled from the top panel and when enabled the brightness slider acts as an offset to the current brightness value. We also reworked how it is handled internally taking e.g. the brightness scale exported
by the kernel into account. There will be more fine tuning to this in upcoming releases. #Librem5 users, please check the end of this 🧵for a possible regression:

phosh 0.51.0 is out 🚀📱:
Another 6️⃣ weeks have passed and we have some new features, quality of life improvements, and 🐛 fixes. Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.51.0/ for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵
🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release.

I'm happy to report that I've successfully managed to turn my WTFs and OMGs into working touch PointerEvents, and even got to spot and fix some minor bugs on the way. Once I manage to go through the submission and review process as well it should considerably improve the handling of touchscreens on websites in GNOME Web. #webkit #webkitgtk #wpewebkit #epiphany #gnome #librem5 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile
There is a new development report regarding the next release of #PureOS: #Crimson.
PureOS is the #Linux distribution that is the default for #Purism products, like the #Librem5 #privacy and #security focused #phone.
The maintenance of PureOS is an example of the opposite of planned obsolescence.
Give it a read and learn how a hardware product becomes better and better through software updates.

@mukto_manob @rysiek As someone whose daily driving #postmarketOS (stable phosh) on a #Librem5, I think that mobile Linux is sufficiently advanced for non-developers to use, especially if they are already used to #DesktopLinux.
#FuriLabs devices even come with Android app support enabled out of the box and have higher specs, so I'd expect them to be more normie-friendly.
@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.
Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

This might have been one of the craziest bike rides in Lisbon I have done so far.
It was not the longest, but from dirt trails in areas with abandoned buildings and factories in the east part of the city.
Ramps with insane inclination. And going down hill in some places that you had to really trust your breaks to be willing to go down hill there.😜
First time visiting some parts of the #beato

Not all dEQP-GLES3 failures are driver bugs!
Fixed Mesa core validation for GL_STENCIL_INDEX texture format - was requiring ES3.1+ when it should accept ES3.0 with OES_texture_stencil8 extension.

@lyn1337 I'm using #postmarketOS stable phosh on a #Librem5, and #XMPP messaging works fine with the default Chats app: #GnomeChats / #Chatty.
#DinoIM works even better as it supports audio calls. Unlike Chatty, however, it can't run in the background.
