There's finally a mobile data quick setting in Phosh (will be part of 0.40.0). Not everybody needs it so you can enable/disable it via Mobile Settings:
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 246. Finally the Firefox yields its rendering riches! Some fantastic illustrations to accompany the words today, to celebrate the fact offscreen rendering is finally working. With thanks to thigg for the images and thanks to #gecko for finally doing what you're supposed to!
My fellow fedizens, i have done it.
I have applied #BitRitter to https://nlnet.nl/propose/ in the category "Open Call". Well at least 2 features i want to implement.
Wish me luck.
If you have an awesome Mobile FOSS Project, maybe you want to apply too? Deadline is 2024-06-01 so this friday. Application process took me about half an hour, so that's doable.
@chfkch That is great to hear! And happy to learn that the application process did not take you a lot of time. That is precisely what we hope: not to waste anyone's time.
I don't think I've ever compiled the kernel as often on a single day as I have today, but my Mobian port to the Pixel 3a / 3a XL is making progress.
My device-specific kerrnel repo is working, though I still need to find the right place for some kernel config stuff. if compiled as is, touch won't work. But I can manually copy the ".config" from pmOS to the repo and do "make olddefconfig" and then everything works nicely.
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 244. Comparing the OnFirstPaint()/patch 0044 differences to better understand how TransactionIds are handled and ultimately bring the changes into line for ESR 91.
@crft That depends on the UI. On Phosh (with the default squeekboard keyboard), hit the >_ key (if you don't see it, make sure to switch to Terminal layout by hitting the globe key) and find in the bottom left. On other UIs, things are different.

It's been a while since we gave an update on the #postmarketOS#systemd integration, so here's an update post (and instructions on how to get involved).
Gnome Search on a smartphone is a killer feature. You can do so much useful stuff and customize everything to your liking.

I've just released v0.3.3 of Pygenda - my WIP #Psion-inspired agenda app for keyboard-equipped mobile linux devices. Main change is to move to more modern packaging, which should mean less fiddly installation & less work for me. So in theory a good time to try it out.
The new Linux phone from Jolla & its benefits? ⛵ :linux:
◉Sailfish OS - the only independent commercial mobile OS
◉Sailfish is NOT 100% closed source - Jolla plans to open the remaining blobs
◉More "Linuxy" than Android; Qt / Wayland / filesystem
◉Free of Google / Apple
◉Use Android compatibility in case an :android: app is needed
◉Jolla is a Finnish company - 🇫🇮 / 🇮🇸 are considered most trustworthy nations in Europe
