    @matejrokos I am almost sure its impossible to get any idea or estimate. Volunteers don't do time tracking. Looking at an MR doesn't answer the question if a professional did that in half an hour or a hobby coder in three days. The foundation numbers may give you an idea about cost for infrastructure. But only partially as well, since we use for instance free hosted weblate or contributors use their own free gitlab CI minutes, so they don't count on the foundation servers. Volunteers also don't have funding. If they are lucky they get a "thanks" or some smaller donations. But that is not tracked at all.

    @freddo Thanks, that would be great to have a few mirrors, but currently, there's no integrity check mechanism implemented in OpenStore, and that is a requirement. I think I'll try doing something about it soon. That would also require cooperation with the OpenStore team

    Hier den letzten Post nochmal in Deutsch: Es gibt einen Port für das OP8T von Ari (@aribk). Er arbeitet gerade daran den soweit fertig zu machen, dass er im Installer und auf der Geräteseite hinzugefügt werden kann. Ich helfe da mit Tests und kleineren Dingen. Läuft schon ganz gut... Und Scott Howards hat in der englischen Telegramgruppe einen Screenshot von einem OP8 Port geteilt. Aber zu diesem Port habe ich keine weiteren Informationen, außer eben, dass es ihn gibt.

    @mirroronthewall Yes, this is surprisingly useful, as it means you don't always have to whip out a hardware keyboard, which defeats the point of the small form factor of a phone. Missing support for modifier keys is a big issue when using GUI apps in Libertine, as touch-to-mouse conversion often doesn't behave as it should and can get you 'stuck', so a fallback to keyboard shortcuts is just as necessary there as it may be useful in general: actually, your idea of creating macros for anything seems to solve many problems (including mine) at once, so congrats - now we just need to figure out how! The closest I've found is Ambot Installer: Hacks and Mods, although I need to set up a persistent amd64 QEMU instance on my arm64 laptop before I can allow myself to experiment with it freely (it's the only way I got the installer working). Other tools may be available but I have not been able to surface them yet, I will update this thread as I learn more about the issue and potential solutions. [UPDATE] Here is a list of interesting posts related to this problem, which may be a good starting point for building a bridge towards the solution: These are previous conversations on the repos which appear to have been abbandoned: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/issues/96 gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/issues/78 https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-keyboard/-/issues/96 Instead, here are some useful links related to Malakiboard, which should be a good foundation to build macro functionality on: https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-click https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-installer https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-packages

    @Voorstad maybe. If MeshCore had a Rust library, it would be fairly easy (famous last words) to integrate into the app I am making for Meshtastic. But it appears there's only a C++ library, and I'm not touching that with a 100 foot pole. As for MeshCore vs Meshtastic, I'm aware there seems to be some back and forth about it on the LoRa bands in the Netherlands (where I am currently based...). But for now, the app will only be supporting Meshtastic, unfortunately!

    Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu Unity 24.04 with Unity 7.7 desktop. I was wondering if it is possible to install Lomiri alongside to play around with it and switch between Unity 7.7 and Lomiri from the LightDM. I tried running Lomiri on Debian 13 but it did not work with multi-monitor in my case and so I cannot change to Lomiri as a primary desktop until this is repaired (as I see from the website, this is "under construction", per se). I love Unity and love to see the future of how this desktop develops as Lomiri formerly Unity 8. Thank you!!

    @uxes That is a great program, but I heard that ATL relies on GTK. Which is not integrated into UT. And besides, list of supported apps is limited compared to Waydroid.

    @gpatel-fr Owch. That doesn't sound like encouraging news about the database For me, the plus is visible beneath the 0 in the dialer. A long press of the zero gives a plus sign. Just to be clear, I had never tried to dial a plus sign before yesterday. I only tried it amongst a bunch of trial and error, testing to see what would trigger the phone number based predictions. From what I read, yes, the + sign functions the same as the international call code, but I've never tried it. Could be region and/or carrier dependent. One thing I find confusing is why, when set to either Canadian language, the tel_dom_fmt. Do you have any sense of what might be affected by this field? Our telephone standards here otherwise seem identical to USA, and it seems odd that the field should be empty when no others are.
