Fair enough! I may have to look up a couple of videos to link to the wiki.

As MartijnBraam pointed out, pmOS doesn't ship with Halium, so that is my mistake

by kop316 5y ago
Whoops, my mistake! Unfortunately I cannot edit my comment to reflect that. So then out of curiosity, how are you all able to port to so many devices? Do you have a bunch of volunteers, or all most of the devices not too difficult to port t

While I don't mean to take away from what the devs are doing (as it is awesome!), the modem is in two parts: a "user space" that is an version of Android (yes, the modem runs Android, I think Android 7?), and the actual modem

Hello! Long story short, I have been working which the Chatty developer to integrate MMS support into his program: https://source.puri.sm/kop316/chatty/-/tree/wip/sadiq/mm-acc... The primary pr

In learning the Debian Packaging, I have a LOT more confidence in the Debian Packaging process, and a much better understanding of why it is what it is. Debian packaging (the quilt format) will watch the upstream git repo and will error out

If one of the devs purchase one, and it runs mainline linux, it would be a good candidate!

Epiphany supports PWAs, and is installed by default on Mobian. I just tried and successfully "Installed" Lyft as a PWA.

I personally do not use my Pinephone as a daily driver, and the main thing that stops me from using it is MMS support (I am also the lead dev on integrating MMS into the Pinephone). As soon as MMS is fully integrated, I will use it as a dai

Yep! My personal issue with Halium is the fact that now you have devices running around today running something like Linux 3.10, which I shutter at because of security concerns.

> it would be great to ease the process of making PWAs for the Linux space So developing for Mobian is no different than developing for Debian (in fact then I don't need to use the Modem, I just do all of my development on a Debian

No non-free drivers, but the Modem and Wifi/Bluetooth drivers need non-free firmware.

Yep. So far the plan is once Bullseye moves to stable, I think we are going to look into porting GTK4 into Mobian, as Megapixels and a few other apps are moving to GTK4.

I like to think Mobian is one of the "mature" Pinephone Distros, i.e. if there is something that doesn't work on Mobian, it will not work on any Pinephone/Librem 5 Distro. > Should I use it? I mean...of course i will

That is the idea yes. Many of the Mobian Devs are also on the Debian on Mobile Team Debian on Mobile team: https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team Mobian Team: https://gitlab.com/mobian1

Right now the focus is on devices that devs have and run mainstream Linux: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=devices PostmarketOS runs on more devices (and is a great Distribution!), but they also run a lot more d

Heh, neat to see this here! I'm one if the (junior) devs helping out on this project, so if there are any specific questions I'm happy to try and answer!

This is also a pretty good link: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php Its a wiki for a lot of tips and tricks to get Mobian working on the Pinephone. It has a couple of other devices it will run on, but the Pinephone&#x

Out of curiosity, how old was your yubikey? I have had one attached to my keyring since 2016, and it show no sign of breaking.

Ohhh that makes sense. And since they are so close to water, there is always an amount of humidity in the air too I suppose. Thank you for the explanation!

Since this is here, I wanted to repost something I shared a few months ago about COVID vaccines (I sincerely hope it helps someone out there). My brothers Mother in Law died due to COVID, and she got COVID a week after her first vaccination

Would you minding explaining the phenomenon in a bit more detail, if you could? I thought that as air temperature rises, the air is able to absorb more heat, not less. And I thought rain was essentially the fact that there is too much moist

Sorry, should have been more specific! More correctly, they are debating if it's just time to retire now and be grandparents full time rather than risk losing a lot money in the restaurant due to increased prices, then being forced to

That may be the case for some....but that is not the case for all. For one ancedote, my father in-law runs a restaurant with my aunt in-law (his sister). They are the only workers, and split the profits evenly. They are in the midwest (low
