@wrenix Phosh can handle desktop mode as well. It supports connecting external displays, keyboard, mouse. I've used that for both "laptop like" mode as well as giving talks. See e.g. this video from 2021 where I use a phone for the presentation: https://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2021/MiniDebConf-Regensburg/debian-on-a-smart-phone-are-you-serious.lq.webm

@danialbehzadi Not from my side atm (multiple reasons but first of all I've seen too many python GTK apps block on GIL and we don't want to have that in the shell). If someone comes up with something clean though, why not

@danialbehzadi I think a vertically scrollable lists works better here as it allows to see all (most) players at one glance rather than having to swipe around to see what is there..

@airtower Interesting!

Regarding the dbus-run-session: That looks like a downstream change, we don't have that upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/blob/main/data/wayland-sessions/phosh.desktop#L5

Maybe the better change for alpine would be to check for `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` in phosh-session and only spawn it when not set?

We just moved to this new instance (and @linuxphoneapps will follow with moving to @linuxphoneapps later today). Let's hope it will serve us as a solid new home for a long, long time! :-)

One thing that bothered me since some time is that for switching between different 🎶 players required to🔓 the 📱 .

So e.g. pausing #gnome podcasts to listen to music via #gapless needed ever so many steps. I've thus added a lockscreen plugin to #phosh that tracks all currently running media players that use #mpris and allows to interact with them.

This is all pretty rough still but I can hopefully brush it up for 0.48 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1729).

@bjawebos 🤩 Maybe submit to This week in GNOME (https://thisweek.gnome.org/about/) . I think it's fine even when not yet considered stable by it's author.

(still always thrilled to see phosh screenshots out in the wild 🙈 )

Calling all analog film photographers! 🎞️ I've been working on Filmbook, an open-source app to help you keep track of your film usage. It's built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita for a smooth & modern experience – and it even runs on Linux phones like the Librem 5 and Pinephone Pro! 📱

The first version is ready for testing, and I'd love your input on what features would make it even better!
