#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!
#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.
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
:linux: Jolla | Makers of truly competitive Linux for mobile - NEW PHONE COMING! 🤳
◉Jolla is a small but spicy company on a field of relentless competition
◉Due this - Sailfish OS moves to a subscription model (but it's just 5€ / month)
◉New budget phone comes with 2 ARM Cortex-A75 CPU / 6 Cortex-A55 cores
◉8GB of RAM / 128gt space / 4,000 mAh bat
◉Pre order for €299 (incl. a 1-yr sub) & Jolla takes €50 deposit
At the #JollaLoveDay2 event a new limited edition Community Phone was announced, showcasing the latest #SailfishOS. It can be pre-ordered and the limited batch will be delivering in August. The package includes a 12-month Sailfish OS subscription. An extension of the subscription can be purchased after 1 year for future software updates (but isn't mandatory).
I am blown away by #Jolla's new subscription model... I can understand why it is necessary, but at this point I would go with #PlasmaMobile with #PostmarketOS: open source as I wish #SailfishOS was
Now they're announcing some trustworthy 100% private, user-controlled AI thing - that's supposed to be helpful with everyday tasks. I am not hype on AI, but if the promises hold up, that's interesting.
Ja, natürlich kann man von einem #FotoBug sprechen, den #Apple schnellst möglich schließen wird, um seine Kunden vor dem #GAU zu bewahren. ...
Was für ein Käse.
Apple hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass es sich weder an die eigenen Worte hält (30 Tage Speicherdauer), noch an Gesetze. Apple ist erwiesenermaßen eine #Datenkrake, die einmal erhobene Daten wie einen #Schatz hütet und den Kunden über die Existenz belügt. Das ist ein offener #Vertrauensbruch.
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 236. Getting back on the horse 🏇 after a two week gap! A gentle start, looking at the wonderful image deciphering work others have been doing while I've been taking a break! 🖼️

It's baffling to me that most people are willing to suffer all the craptitude that runs by default on Android. I had to skip and disable at least a dozen services and apps immediately after the first run setup. It's gross and I don't like it.
#SailfishOS#Gecko dev diary Day 235. Wrapping things up before I take a pause until 18th May while I attend the HPC Days conference. Thanks to tortoisedoc for the helpful suggestions and to everyone who's read, boosted and favourited my posts over the last 235 days! I'll be back with more gecko development real soon!
#SailfishOS on the @PINE64#Pinephone and #pinephonepro has an updated kernel and ofono. Please should if it breaks and i can revert the change, but hopefully its better!!
