I just made some changes to @libcamera to export focus/brightness controls and created a PoC app to work with it via @pipewire (wireplumber gobject api) in @vala_lang because why not? @postmarketOS

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (11/2025): #Libadwaita 1.7 and news from #Sxmo

I attached an #RTLSDR USB receiver to my @Furilabs #FLX1. It works as expected, in this screenshot receiving all of our neighbor's wireless weather stations.

(And the odd wireless tire pressure sensor, now I have to find that Toyota and tell its owner it's too low)

"If it doesn't support #WhatsApp natively, it's going to be a failure" was one of the common criticisms during #UbuntuPhone times ten years ago.

"Does it support #Signal?" is a common question about #linuxphones.

Good reminder that we still haven't figured out messaging at all and #lockin can easily happen even with solutions that look more free and open at first glance. There are still no good alternatives to Signal's iOS/Android apps.

With @furilabs latest release they added in a pretty big UX improvement for folks that need android apps. There is now a gnome software plugin that will let you interface with fdroid apps as if it was native. This removes the need to open up fdroid to install applications or update them. You can now manage all that in a single place. Here's a recording of me installing pixelix android app via gnome software. Its got kinks but the idea is great!

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (09, 10/2025): Too much to put in a title

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-09-10-2025/

So I lost my jingpad when I moved in 2022. I just found it. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket is I can put on it? Ideally I'd like it to be Linux, not Android. It's starting to look like my options are cybersecurity nightmare, or paperweight.

Boosts appreciated!

Mobile Linux distro postmarketOS won't be called postmarketOS for much longer - the team is looking for a new name that, among other things, reflects that it's not *only* for phones that no longer get official software updates. https://buff.ly/yIYTVNh #postmarketOS #MobileLinux

I sent my OnePlus 6 focus driver upstream .

And some random cat came to pay his respects, I guess. Photo taken on a OnePlus 6 running @postmarketOS
