I have been quite happy with /e/os on my #fairphone #FP3 the last few years - but it is beginning to deteriorate lately, with more and more apps not being able to run. #mobilepay for one, but now also #garmin #navionics #boating - since last update it will not show my location, it keeps asking for permission - which it already have. I can downgrade for now, but it is not really a viable solution I believe. So what to do? I really dislike the idea of having to install #googleplay services :(

I believe we really need an alternative #mobile os. A truely google free android would be fine with me for now, while a more navtive #linux becomes feasible and commercial/public app providers realizes that there is a need for #flatpak releases.

Meanwhile, could #e_os (#microG) be fixed somehow?

UPDATE: downgrading to version 2.22 of garmin boating fixed the issue for now.

FLOWBLADE 2.20 released. This powerful video editor now uses SDL2 video playback for Flatpak on all systems with MLT 7.30 or higher. But video playback for native Wayland without XWayland or for GTK4 does not currently seem possible with SDL.

🕶️ A bird's-eye view of a multiplayer game, featuring 3 factions, the closest to the observer - a red faction, sheltered by a force field is firing and taking heavy cannon fire from the green faction, while in the distance a blue faction is approaching. 📚️ Beyond All Reason is a free, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player RTS with a sci-fi theme, simple metal and energy based economy, and classic gameplay (4X for supremacy on). The player starts with a mecha, draws resources, builds his army and faces adversity. A mature game designed by and for gamers, with scenarios, handpicked maps, over 400 different units designed with great care, a new multithreaded path system and OpenGL 4 support allowing the game to be played with over 10000 units at over 100 FPS in 4K, reworked lights, shadows and fog, a lobby client (also mature, for single-player / multi-player, co-op vs other players and/or AIs, scenarios, rating, content loading, ...). Awesome!

'"After all this debacle and the extra “headache”, none of us felt comfortable shipping the openH264 extension anymore [in the #Flatpak SDK context]. Thus it was dropped for the master branch,

Considering all things, I think and hope we made the correct decision and hopefully the new org.freedesktop.Platform.codecs-extra works out. […]

Apart from all this, I’m slightly worried at the prospects of legal issues cropping up with this setup and also that the new extension contains “too much”, but we will have to see where things flow. […]"'

Pixels · Closing the chapter on OpenH264People might have noticed me talking about dropping OpenH264 from Freedesktop SDK. Here, I’ll try to go a bit into the history, the timeline and what led to the final decision. A bit of an introduction If you are unfamiliar with the Freedesktop SDK project, it was born out of the initial 1.6 Flatpak runtime image created by Alexander Larsson to provide a host independent “runtime” for Flatpaks. Since then, with the help of Codethink and others, it grew into an independent project maintained by the community that aims to provide a “A minimal Linux runtime”.
