If you run Usage on Mobian (incl. in their Phosh flavour), you might have already seen the network tab, but for those on postmarketOS:

With the power of vnstat, Usage will show your network traffic per interface—including most importantly, your mobile data connection. You just need vnstat.

It is rudimentary, and recently I've been more interested in making the rest of the app more sleek and performant. It might interest you nonetheless. (And I'm always open to discuss and review improvements.)

GNOME 48 is out, @pabloyoyoista, @FineFindus, and I celebrated it. With pizza. 🎉🍕 Great to see what this release brought us. 🙌
We did so after revisiting and merging quite a number of things, so we're off to a good start …

Last week, I improved Papers' code around link previews. You'll get in Papers upcoming release. Want me to tease what to get in 49?
We were meeting, as we regularly do:
So, at the same time, @FineFindus, sitting across from me … completely rewrote the thumbnailer … of course in Rust.
All that, while @pabloyoyoista worked on improvements for the context menu for annotations. (Based on @tbernard's¹ great mock-ups for it.)

¹ for clarity: not present

It is always fun to meet @pabloyoyoista and @FineFindus. And this time, we had the pleasure of meeting with one of the GTK maintainers, Benjamin Otte, as well.
Amongst other, interesting discussions about GTK's new renderers and phones, performance, regressions, collaboration, and testing. And the general “wouldn't it be nice if”s … language support, upstreaming things … and maybe, someday, some of them … 🤞
And if you happen to be in the Hamburg area and want to join, shoot us a message.

When you wanted to request your extended streaming history from Spotify, you used to need to email their privacy support.
It is great that you are only a mouse click and a 17 day waiting period away from finding out that your gini coefficient for listens per recordings is decreasing. 🙃

I met with @pabloyoyoista today. We talked, amongst other, about the directions of Papers. As part of my #GSoC project, for example, I'm tackling gestures. It'll be a clean-up as much as will enable touchscreen users, who currently cannot select text, nor add annotations.
Yes, the pizza at the end is obligatory. (Would've been a boring picture otherwise, right?) And yes, they were paid for from a #postmarketOS running device.

We have some great news about @schmiddionmobile’s Railway: It is no longer limited to the HAFAS API that amongst other Deutsche Bahn uses! 🎉
Now, you can test the Swiss SBB on Flathub beta (https://flathub.org/beta-repo/appstream/de.schmidhuberj.DieBahn.flatpakref).
There you can also use Transitous – with worldwide coverage based entirely on community-aggregated open data sources. Not as reliable and up-to-date as our other providers, but you can get involved to improve it.
Feel free to share feedback with us over at https://matrix.to/#/%23railwayapp:matrix.org.

Today was a normal¹ #GNOME meet-up:
* Papers' first (alpha) release didn't quite materialise, yet,
* where a MR was merged with a few commits dropped, because they weren't quite ready, yet
* we didn't quite solve the future of software distribution, just yet

All in all: Nice pizza with @pabloyoyoista and @FineFindus!

¹ we met for “hacking” and instead had a super interesting talk about technology for like five hours …

I've read it here already, so chances are you did as well. It is true: I will make Papers – the soon-to-be default document viewer in GNOME – work on mobile, while improving the UI in general.

I'm granted a #gsoc stipend to work on Papers – together with my mentor @pabloyoyoista. We looked into some things today, already.

I'm excited to make Linux on Mobile a viable alternative for more people. But probably you knew that already, from my other involvements.

If you immediately recognize what I did here, and you are using Usage, chances are, you'd want to have this … or you don't.
