I still need to insert my SIM card to see how well the cellular modem and texting work as of late, but I was saddened to see that last stable release <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mobian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobian</span></a> did was about two years ago. I did see they are still pushing weekly developer builds, however.

@triskelion @purism I appreciate what GrapheneOS and other projects are doing. I wish gOS good luck in:
- getting early access to future #AOSP sources as development is no longer public.
- fixing the myriad of #Google shenanigans with the OS and Chromium.
- getting mental health help for the main developer - he deserves all the help he can get.

Unlike gOS, #Linuxphone development is not riding on decades of Google funded development of the OS. Progress is therefore slower but it is improving gradually.

Besides #PureOS, there is also #Mobian and #postmarketOS - I especially look forward to the latter's future #ImmutableOS version which would have security benefits as well.

Thanks to awesome work by @agx #Librem5 can now wake up from suspend when alarm is set! This is a huge leap in usability.

This was top 3 item in #dephcom feature priority poll for mobile GNU/Linux.

codema.in/d/9PSaLqK8/first-fea

It is available from phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-nightly and people.debian.org/~praveen/mob and hopefully will hit official channels soon.

You likely need to also run
sudo setcap 'cap_wake_alarm=ep' /usr/bin/gnome-clocks

codema.inFirst feature prioritizing pollIntroduce and describe the topicWe have been collecting proposal for missing features/bugs from 18th August, now we will start a poll to sort this by priority.Why is this important?We need to be able to find high priority issues and raise funds to fix those.How would you like people to respond?Arrange the issues based on its priority.

I figured out how to get #LibreWolf working with mobile-config-firefox on #Librem5 running #Mobian #Trixie.

Since the recent change in #Mozilla terms of service, I was trying to use non mozilla browsers and succeeded mostly. On my #Debian sid laptop I mainly use gnome web (which uses #webkit).
But on #FLX1 I still have to use #Firefox. #FreeSoftware

Which of these smartphone OSes do you think is more secure currently? For whatever definition of "secure" feels right to you.

Some options have multiple variants, please vote based on the most secure variant you know of.

@dos @kannan For those who want to try, can install mobian-base, librem5-support and librem5-tweaks packages from people.debian.org/~praveen/mob on your #mobian #trixie install. I have also sent merge requests to all 3 packages. Hopefully this can be shipped in trixie by default. Our bounty to fix this properly in pipewire still stands opencollective.com/dephcom/pro
