If you ever wanted to write a #quicksetting or #lockscreen plugin for #phosh but didn't fancy #gobject C: Here's an example in #vala : https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1727

#ValaLanguage
Draft: Build vapi file and add vala plugin example (!1727) · Merge requests · World / Phosh / phosh · GitLab
Let's make plugin writing a bit simpler for folks that don't want to do C. To test

In a breaking news report, we have just learnt that all postmarketOS images installed this June will make the user 10% more queer, stacking for up to a 500% bonus!

Happy pride month ya'll!

We usually learn a lot about this on conferences but let's try it here as well:

If you're daily driving #phosh we're keen to here on which phone (or other device)? Which distro do you use and which phosh version are you currently running?

Good to know that KDE-Connect works on #postmarketos so it can be used together with Waydroid to forward Android notifications to the main phone OS 💬

I am on holidays in Rome, and have roamed Rome too much - I won't be able to come up with a Weekly #mobilelinux Update tonight.

Depending on how things go, I may be able to compile it tomorrow - if not, we're going to have a double feature next Sunday.

I know, many have been asking for this and even more out there didn’t even dare to ask.

But finally, the wait is over:

You can now use your #pinephonepro running #freebsd to do all your #borland C++ #os2 development while waiting for 1997 to arrive.
