    Oh, oh... I&#39;m jumping up and down in excitement! The developer of the native Qobuz music player for Sailfish OS, Fiat Pons, has added MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification, the standard communication protocol used on Linux) and both Hi-res and Ultra Hi-res formats in an upcoming release. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/qobuz-qbz-native-music-client/32939/54?u=frankps #SailfishOS #QBZ #Qobuz #Streaming #Music

    Last a community port of the FUTO Keyboard was published. It fast became my preferred keyboard! It is very feature rich with emojis, swipe and offline voice input. FUTO works on both native apps and with Android AppSupport. Go test it! https://openrepos.net/content/htheb/futo-keyboard-swipe-and-offline-voice-input #SailfishOS #SailfishCommunity #JollaPhone2026 #Jolla #FUTO

    In the Scandivian countries we have a social network called Hudd. It works with AppSupport. It has a growing Sailfish OS community, with almost 50 members and they are starting to get their new Jolla Phones. https://sailfishos.app/app/45285d93-d96d-481b-a5a0-c38ab528c8b0 #Hudd #SailfishOS #JollaPhone2026

    Ooooh, I like this one... RockBridge just got released. It bridges Sailfish OS notifications to Gadgetbridge running inside Android AppSupport, and by that forwards notifications from Sailfish OS to Gadgetbridge, allowing compatible devices paired with Gadgetbridge to receive them. All on the device, no cloud services or external accounts are required. https://openrepos.net/content/coanteen/rockbridge #SailfishOS

    Meget bra kronikk om overvåkningsbasert markedsføring. Vi har alle kjent på at teknologien noen ganger kjennes tankelesende ut.

    @ljo@mastodon.social Hei fra en strand i Danmark. Så din Like. Skulle ønske noen kunne lage en skikkelig Matrix-klient for SFOS. Jeg har for lengst avinstallert Sailtrix. Vi trenger virkelig oppdaterte chat-klienter. Både for Matrix og Nextcloud Talk. Noen ønsker også XMPP… Bruker Mattermost på jobben og den klienten vi har virker forsåvidt, men kunne trenge en masse kjærlighet. Men for nå oppdaterer jeg mine oversettelser for Element X… 50 strenger igjen…

    Picked up Norwegian bokmål translation of Element X again. It is my preferred Matrix client and I use it on my Mac, iPhone and Sailfish phone. Progressing nicely, less than 100 strings left to translate. #Translation #Matrix #Element #OpenSource

    Jolla has posted a longer blog entry about the upcoming deliveries of the J2 phone (batch 1 to 3), just to satisfy people like me that are not good at waiting… They also added some release notes on Sailfish OS 5.2, and info about two bug fixes releases coming up. Hopefully Jolla will have fine tuned the camera a bit with these releases. Jolla asks for contributions on the open source parts of the OS. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-phone-update-deliveries-started-and-other-next-steps/30...

    I guess I will soon do some more translation work on the Rockpool app for Sailfish OS. Support for the new Pebble clocks is coming! https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/rockpool-thread/25596/22?u=frankps #Pebble #Rockpool #SailfishOS

    RE: https://techhub.social/@denzilferreira/116911502467660827 Could this be a Gatekeeper case for EU? It sure looks like a lockin for me - a construction for Google to keep a monopoly…

    Users of Jolla phones don&#39;t have the problem with infinity scrolling on Facebook and Instagram, but never the less great to see EU taking up the fight against Meta: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20260710-facebook-and-instagram-must-stop-addictive-features-causing-infinite-scrolling-eu-tells-meta **Design features to be addictive for users are rightly banned by EU!** #SocialMedia #Facebook #Instagram

    Vi får håpe at Bahnhof forblir Bahnhof i Sverige og Norge. Ellers blir dette en trist dag. Telenor har et eget talent i å fucke opp selskaper de tar over. Ingen vil vel ha bredbånd fra Telenor? #Telenor #Bahnhof #Bredbånd https://www.digi.no/artikler/telenor-kjoper-bredband-for-milliarder-i-sverige/574547

    Hot, hot, hot! See the photos from an earlier Nokia factory in Salo. The Jolla captain and his team are assembling the first 500 Jolla S2 phones for the sailors showing up on the release party next week! Mobile production is finally back to Europe! The phones are flashed with the yet to be released Sailfish OS 5.2. I can&#39;t wait to get mine... https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/greetings-from-jolla-salo-final-assembly/30432?u=frankps @jolla@techhub.social #SailfishOS #MadeInEurope #LinuxMob...

    Every first Sunday of the month and Digital Independence Day: https://di.day/en Our digital lives are in the hands of a few ultra-rich individuals. Through the monopolistic positions of their companies, people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg dictate worldwide how we get our information online, how we discuss issues and communicate, or do business. I have slowly been migrating to Jolla and Sailfish OS, and I&#39;m waiting for my Jolla S2 phone. @jolla@techhub.social #SailfishO...
