Protip: GTK can do hardware video acceleration using V4L2 on e.g. #Librem5, but only if you let it.
Adding "--device=all" to overrides lets it be used in #Flatpak apps that don't specify it in their permissions already, such as #Tuba.

It’s getting closer and closer to the Release Party in July, and here is a fantastic (p)review done by Joshua (@me) of the upcoming Jolla J2 Community Phone: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/first-impressions-of-the-new-jolla-phone-cnc-sample/28729?u=frankps

Hey all! I was lucky enough to be invited to the Jolla office in Tampere, get a tour of the space, take a look at some functional CNC samples of the new Jolla Phone (or as we all call it, the J2), and help with recording some videos that should hopefully be used for marketing 🙂 This is my short first impressions of the device in written form, though in a bit more depth than what I covered in some videos I recorded for Jolla. I want to seriously emphasize, this is not even a p...

indeed, #linuxmobile + #meshcore get along well together, aiming for digital sovereignty
Thanks @sesivany for permitting that
Těším se na vás na Installfestu 2026! 🙌
📅 V sobotu ráno odstartujeme přednáškou o telefonech
📍 Po oba dva dny mě najdete u stánku
🔧 V neděli si na workshopu můžete rovnou nainstalovat Linux na vlastní telefon
Přineste si zařízení a chuť experimentovat — těším se na setkání!
If you happen to maintain a distro that runs on the #Librem5, then please be aware that all the known issues resulting in the modem dropping out from the USB bus have been resolved *years ago* already. This shouldn't happen even with runtime power management enabled if configured properly.
If you still see that happening on your distro, feel free to hit me up on Matrix and we'll work together to have your distro set up well.
A new version of #Immich app for #SailfishOS has just been released with lots of new functionality and improvements - go grab it!

Hi everyone, there is a new feature release 0.2.0 on OpenRepos, my thanks go again to @frankps who has been a tremendous help again with all the tests, changes and discussions. I will try be more descriptive here than in OpenRepos about the changes so forgive me the wall of text: Added: updated asset detail navigation to mimic (sort of) jolla gallery - swipe left/right to move between assets, drag from top or bottom to go to previous page and action buttons (see attachments) added upload an...
I wonder if @postmarketOS could pull off something like what [I WRONGLY THOUGHT] @GrapheneOS is doing, where they get a phone maker to sell just one model of phone who's hardware is verified to work well with the operating system preinstalled.
This way, they have a single reference platform to target and some support for getting hardware working, even if only in the form of documentation. They also get some funding from purchases.
I mean, it's probably a bit "chicken and egg" as hardware makers need to see potential sales and potential sales come from users seeing a daily driveable end unit, but maybe, just maybe, something like this could be the next step after getting a single phone fully working.
The camera works… the… ultrawide camera that is
