🎉 Filmbook 0.2.1 is here! 🎞️

I’m excited to share the latest update of Filmbook, your open-source app for tracking analog film usage. This release features:

✨ A brand-new icon (big thanks to @nido@troet.cafe )
🔄 A completely revamped History View for easier navigation
🛠️ Updated dependencies & major refactoring for improved performance

Built with Rust & GTK4/libadwaita, Filmbook is designed to work seamlessly on desktop Linux and Linux phones like the Librem 5 & Pinephone Pro.

But this is just the beginning! I’d love to hear from you: What features are missing? How can Filmbook better support your analog photography workflow? Join the conversation and help shape the future of the app:

Pinephone Linux phone price in the US and in the EU. $199 vs EUR 350. WTF.

Just tested on my and it works when setting the gles override as its needed
MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.1

luckily it does seem to mostly work ok. It has a long delay when exiting the now playing to view the library but audio continues working perfectly.

Submitted a PR to the flatpak to add in the needed changes for arm64 in flathub but its waiting for a new release to be tagged on the finamp repo.

Considering this does seem to need GLES3 i guess no :/

@circus_maximus Da habe ich tatsächlich nicht so viel... Ich habe ein #shiftphone8 , da ist aber #PostmarketOS noch nicht so weit. Dann fliegt hier noch ein Pixel 3a XL von Google rum, darauf läuft das eigentlich ganz nett - Ist aber keine aktuelle Hardware. Bis vor ein paar Monaten hatte ich ein #Pinephone von Pine64, das war lahm, aber prima.
Man muss halt Abstriche machen bei den Anwendungen - Aber ganz ehrlich, das ist es mir wert.

Ok. I installed #SailfishOS on the emmc of my #Pinephone. Restored contacts, connected the accounts, also created 3 new Atmospheres

The statement I made that you responded to stated "ONE of my hesitancies" in a preset smartphone, not "all".

I am not just looking for a degoogled smartphone, I am looking for one without an AI, without any biometric ID scanners/sensors (like the fingerprint one's that are so common) with a physical keyboard, with the ability to get connected to service in my country (USA) and that meet military rugged standards for durability. *None of the preset OS options have a physical keyboard.

#Volla states it pretty directly on their website that they use a digital assistant of an AI, but beyond that they're not connectable to service in my country. But they are the only option that comes with a preset OS, is degoogled & is durable enough for my needs.

#Murena aka #fairphones/shiftphones (as they're sold in my country) are vaguer about it & yet it's pretty cleat they've got the same unwanted & unwelcome element on their devices. Beyond which at $800-$900, a fairphone/shiftphone is definitely too expensive for me, as I'm on disability benefits, those conditions barring me from paid work being the very same that make me need physical keyboards & durable devices!

#Graphene only works with pixel, aka breakaway glass phones, so even if they didn't, it'd be a moot point for me.

#Calyx & #postmarket don't have any phone sold with their OS on it, so beyond sandbagging me in your push for this, they are irrelevant to my argument that you are responding to.

Jolla phones aren't sold in my country at all, so they're another element of said sandbagging.

Now on realistic options & my considerations:

#PostmarketOS I might also get with one of the 2 or 3 similar to blackberry phones that are out now, after that desktop is setup. (Price wise at around $400-$500 they're at the higher end for me but within a year or so I can likely save& budget in for this option.)

If #pinephone brings back their devices with keyboards, as they used to have them, that'd be a 3rd and best option, as they have the kill switch on microphones & cameras.

#Calyx in the Motorola phone acceptance might have at least similar durability to a Volla, have service connection in my country & I don't think they have an AI integrated into their OS but still don't have physical keyboards. This is why I'm considering getting a separate keyboard & Motorola phone, after I setup a desktop computer to use them, as even with paying for the added keyboard that's likely my most affordable option.($70-250)

*I've not had an active smartphone for most of the past decade, especially as wherenever I leave my property it's rarely for under a 50 mile round trip drive of an outing, which has at times been problematic but it's also why unless I actually see something that I really can use & will improve things, I won't buy or even seriously consider things I can't.

Volla's description of their AI in it's  autocomplete.Screenshot of a description of most functions of a digital assistant saying it'll  replace the one google has, without calling it an AI.

@joeneXtra
I also have got a #Pinephone Pro with #Mobian and #Plasma6 but it isn't fully usable due to a lack of hardware support.

Finally got around to finishing the review. I know its no longer a phone that is in production but its still nice to see where it is now at its end of production and to see what was possible on it. Software on it will hopefully continue to be improved upon so hopefully it is currently in its worst state now and will get better in time but only time will tell.

Nachdem @smphr auf LinkedIn postete, das sie ein Phone mit #ubuntutouch in der Schublade hat, weil man nicht sicher sein kann wie lange man noch Zugriff auf US Services (also auch #Android) hat. Habe ich nochmal mein #PinePhone (mit #mobian) rausgeholt, und folgenden Post dazu gefunden:

TL, Dr: Man kann also mit #Linux #mobile leben, aber es bleibt hakelig, nehmt es sportlich.
Ein Blogbeitrag aus März macht zudem Hoffnung: Es läuft (fast) alles.

The last #Postmarketos update made a mess on my #Pinephone. I can't change network provider anymore,nor can change from 2G to 3G, 4G. Unusable, I must reinstall.

@MishaalRahman Boosting #linux phones and linux mobile OSs I'd say. Got a #pinephone here and are looking forward to the new #jollaphone .

In the current Distrowatch Weekly issue postmarketOS with Phosh has been reviewed. Even though it has been tested on a fairly outdated Pinephone, pmOS seem to have made a really good overall impression: distrowatch.com/weekly.php?iss

@jbowen 1/n It depends on how you interpret "functional", "stable" and "boring". And what you expect from a phone.

I settled with mobian/phosh on my PinePhone and PinePhone Pro. I am used to debian which makes some things easier. phosh seems simpler to me than Plasma Mobile and less flashy.

I have uninstalled the "phone" apps like Geary and installed normal desktop apps (like ClawsMail, Vivaldi, LibreOffice, Thunar) and have the XFCE desktop also installed alonside phosh.
