Heh, I have been using firefox on my pocket reform and didn't notice? Are there particular pages where it is bad?

One off the wall thought: see if any local pawn shops have one? Sometimes it's fun go see what they have and I recall finding a couple there for pretty cheap.

IIRC, there is something like `dbus-activatable` in the desktop file that just ignores a bunch of ENV variables you pass to it. if you delete it, it should use them.

Possibly silly question, is the second revision the one going out to folks who ordered it already?

Glad it worked for you! Out of curiosity, would there be anything on the vvmplayer side that would have made it easier for you to figure out?

A fun response when folks with iPhones say certain things done work withb a #librem5 : "I would say you could add an MR to fix that, but my understanding is iPhones are too user hostile to allow that"

I disable suspend and get ~10-12 hours standby, but realistically I get 4-5 with normal usage.

Today marks two years that I have been using a mainline linux phone exclusively.
I went from a @npub1kcy…fzfa OG Pinephone with @npub1ug4…d762 to a #librem5 from @npub173m…zw5u with #pureos, to finally the same Librem 5 with Mobian.
That Librem5 has survived several drops and a few assassination attempts from nephews.
It's been a fun journey so far! I created 4 FOSS apps, contributed to several others, and use quite a bit more.

aww... I was hoping you knew about a fun prototype!
What do you think of the case? I usually tend to not have a case, and so far my L5 has been fine.

For anyone who makes fresh pasta: do you let the dough rest *after* you roll it out and cut it? I haven't found any recipe that recommends this, but intuition tells me that you should (since egg pasta has gluten).
