LINux on MOBile @linmob@fosstodon.org

@androidpolice picked #Mobian as their one favorite distro out of 17 for the #Pinephone.
Psst, don't tell anyone.... but it's our favorite one too! 😜

@normandc @linmob @MatejLach Heh, all that is needed on the pinephone is something like that in #python: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/9f46e946bfbc4935a41c9838476bf7a3 (WARNING: Quick hack). It is complete, just missing a few constants that contain logging credentials. I use it to log to @nextcloud 's #phonetrack.

I wrote about the @PINE64 PinePhone! It's been a lot of fun to play with, and I still have more operating systems to try.

we just pushed another alpha build of @kdecommunity #plasma #mobile for the @ManjaroLinuxARM @thepine64 #PinePhone . Looking great already! 😎 https://twitter.com/fkardame/status/1293682896679636993

Confusingly COVID-19 is blamed, but I don't understand how that could be the case unless it directly correlated with losing specific funders. COVID-19 seems like it could also be an opportunity to close unnecessary offices, dramatically reducing costs.

Worrying:
- This probably means even more browser takeover by chrome
- Vague "pivot to products" talk
- Executive pay keeps going up https://twitter.com/withoutboats/status/1293188958705168384

@kde

Does this mean that the daily #Pinephone images running #Neon and #PlasmaMobile are now running off 20.04, too?

As promised, this is the current progress. Again, I've only finished the C++ side, haven't really tweak the UI. I have to finish things on KClock first then this plasmoid so I only start develop plasmoid today. Note that this is intended to be used on #Pinephone, highly appreciate if you have any UI suggestions!

Got something starting to look like a folding #pinephone case here. Need to figure out a keyboard to go in it.

#Mobian hack of the day. Members KeironO and Djhg2000 created a "renice" script that pushes the priority of the call program in an attempt to make the #pinephone respond in case of a call. Does it improve things? https://github.com/Djhg2000/phosh-renice

@MatejLach Stay tuned ;) There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes on #sailfishos on the @PINE64 #pinephone

Just dropping this idea here:

Developing a framework for push-messaging in linux-on-phone apps (like for @mobian, @purism #librem5, @postmarketOS, @PINE64 #PinePhone, @ubports #UbuntuTouch)

For Android there's the #OpenPush project trying to introduce an alternative to googles services, that also includes the possibility to self host the server component or choose a trustworthy provoder.

Basically porting that project to also work on (mobile) linux and promoting it to app-developers.

Ok, I've got a 3d printed part that securely attaches to a #pinephone and replaces the built in back frame. Now, how do I attach a battery cover and a keyboard to it? Hang some barrels off the side and call it a hinge? Magnets? Melt-in nutserts? Help me out here fediverse.
