    @UBportsNews @applee Thanks for doing the show all alone! My answer to your question is, that the soundeffects like applause, fanfares etc are funny, but the music is distroying my concentration. Maybe at least a little more loud would be a solution...

    @lduboeuf This has been my experience using a Oneplus N10. Since VoLTE landed, idle drain has seemed notably less pronounced. A very nice surprise, especially on a device with an aged battery.

    Hello everyone, I realized a privacy concern about microphone that concerned unsuspended whatsweb, and whatsnew, but that could possibly concern many other webapps, or even regular apps. The concern is that when running those webapps with microphone permission allowed and unsuspended to get notifications, then the subjacent website can effectively spy on your microphone at any moment, while your phone is suspended, without you even being notifiyed about that. I'm going to see what I can do but it's not easy as chromium engine does not allow easilly to switch on and off the microphone whether on elctron or on qtwebengine. Here are some possible features that could be useful, on the side of the OS: Add an icon to the systray when an Application is recording the microphone as KDE does. Add an option to disable the microphone for all apps (except maybe the phone app) when the phone is suspended. Automatically disable the microphone for apps that are not in foreground (maybe except if they have a background microphone authorization) Add some tools for the apps themself to be able to know weather or not they are recording, and enable/disable the microphone for themself a the level of pulseaudio. This should be accessible even for a confined app, and through shell command so that is universal. Any thought on that?

    Status update: 'ratatoskr' source code has just been reviewed by @bhdouglass (OpenStore team), and two issues have been identified that should be resolved before allowing publication of the .click packages: https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/issues/12 (new one) https://github.com/petroniusniger/ratatoskr/issues/6 (known issue) I'll work on resolving those 2 issues and release a v0.1.1 of the code before re-submitting it for publication.

    @kaktux Hi, A lot of effort has been made to upstream Lomiri to Debian. So I think it may be the way to go for you. The following command is to use on Debian Sid/Trixie: apt install lomiri lomiri-desktop-session lightdm Source: https://ubports.com/lomiri

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    I normally listen to Surf music on Spotify on my Android phone. But back a a long time ago, I had a pile of MP3s on my Ubuntu desktop and on an MP3 player to listen to while doing yard work. So I figured I'd try that experience again. Surf Guitar 101 does an annual CD compilation, where forum members can record and submit their own covers of surf instrumentals or do an original song. It's been going on since 2006. I downloaded 20 years worth of surf instrumental music to my Ubuntu desktop. Grabbed a USB A to USB C cable and figured I'd copy the files over. No joy. Started thinking about problem solving, then just decided to use a different cable. And MTP just worked out of the box. I put over 500 MP3s on my phone in a matter of minutes. Fired up the Music player app. And it worked right out of the box. I'll want to try connecting my bluetooth headphones for when I'm outside working, but this made for a very nice kitchen MP3 player while I was finishing up my bread. I broke my ability to send and receive MMS messages, but hey - music is working!
