Hi! This is the main Fediverse account of a blog about LINux on MOBile devices – linmob.net. It's has been restarted in 2020 because of the PinePhone.

Used to be https://identi.ca/linmob. Also on the birdsite: https://nitter.net/linmobblog.

@npub1zgk…x8cn There's defintely been some progress. On the Plasma Mobile side, IIRC some paid people left, and the Plasma 6 transformation has had developers focussed on it. Looking only at apps in https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile may lead to a wrong impression, as many sub-projects were convergent apps and have been moved to other parts of KDE after https://plasma-mobile.org/2022/11/30/plasma-mobile-gear-22-11/. See https://espi.dev/posts/2023/12/plasma-mobile-towards-6/ for the Plasma Mobile 6 transition - and maybe skim through the Weekly Updates on my blog. ;-)

@npub162r…gdvt Schade, habe keider kein Droidian-Geraet (und wahrscheinlich auch keine SIM beim gleichen MVNO), um das zu debuggen. Hast du mal in einem der Droidian-Chats gefragt, ob das ein bekanntes Problem ist?

@npub12df…y3nq Plasma Bigscreen comes to mind, and I think Jellyfin might also be worth a look. IIRC, there are also Skins for Kodi to make it feel more simple. (Not a TV person though, so ... really not my field of expertise.)

@npub1m2l…4xmu @npub1qjt…uxd3 Thanks! The button even works when GNOME Software or KDE Discover are set up (at least when a flatpak repo is set up) - but yeah, to have more things packaged would be great.

@npub1m2l…4xmu Which listing is this, so that we can fix the repology.org thing (assuming the package can be found there)? cc @npub1qjt…uxd3

If you're into #MobileLinux and can't get enough of running Linux on aarch64 #armlinux here's one more option:

(Just found this while going through stuff for @npub1tu6…kt3t)

@npub1zfe…t7pt I won't be at FrOSCon today, sadly (and I am not involved with the project, but it's great!)

Oh man, if the delay of my ICE2813 to Munich had been obvious, I could have easily stayed an extra 20 minutes.

@npub1yec…s4xn Let's have a beer or coffee some time then! I work in Schwabing and live in Schlachthofviertel, so I am somewhat close to the city centre and ride my bike through it mulitple times a week :)

@npub1qnv…xwd3 I was not aware of those, but I figured these parts out by looking through the commit history of ported apps 🙂 Thanks!
If I can't make it, I will just do a MR to upstream (Brian) and list what does not work yet. But, for now ... I feel that I am pretty close, that it's not too hard, and want to try figure the remaining bits out on my own.

Recently, while on holidays, I exposed my beloved #banglejs2 to sea water, and while I managed to get it working again, the units of battery life are now days instead of weeks.
I have my old #PebbleTimeSteel around, which still works. But: You need an app to set the time. Thus, I embarked on a mission to bring #RockWork to #UbuntuTouch 20.04, found an attempt by someone else and did some more renaming ... it builds and launches, but rockworkd does not get started yet
