@Tutanota@mastodon.social #Jolla #sailfishos Seems such a shame that Google is locking down Android even more. However, life goes on and I am looking forward to delivery of my Jolla 2026 phone running Sailfish OS (which is full Linux and not just a de-googled Android). Bye bye Google.

Shout out to Element X (Matrix) as a European alternative to Google Chat.
Sailfish OS as a European alternative to Android.
DeepL as a European alternative to Google Translate.
Would love to see a native Tuta email app for Sailfish OS.
@dylanvanassche@fosstodon.org's merge request to use usb-moded from #sailfishos just landed in postmarketOS edge.
"Devices running GNOME Mobile, Phosh, and Plasma Mobile received a new USB stack based upon usb-moded which is more robust compared to the original stack:
- Netboot works again which regressed with supporting USB tethering.
- Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is now available for users to access files of their device. See pmaports#646.
- USB access is disabled by default, increasing security. Only after enabling the right mode, SSH/MTP/... functionality will be available as usual. In host mode, nothing is changed.
- Once you connect the device over USB to your computer, a notification will pop up asking which USB mode you want to enable, defaulting to charging only.
- Opens the path to other USB modes through FunctionFS.
When you plug in your device, a notification will be generated allowing you to select the USB mode you prefer"
Thanks @dylanvanassche@fosstodon.org and everybody who reviewed and tested! ❤️

I've been looking for a Podcast app for Sailfish OS, and I guess I found it yesterday!
A first release of Sailcast is here, and even supports synchronization with Nextcloud: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/sailcast-podcast-client-with-podcast-index-integration/35669?u=frankps
An alternative to Sailcast is perhaps gPodder.
Now, any recommendations to what I should subscribe and listen to?

@Tutanota@mastodon.social as a european company, advocating for european services, why don't you build a native client for the only truly european mobile phone OS? #sailfishos ?that could be a nice addition to it! :)
I notice many people are receiving their #JollaPhone! I tried to note down some of the things I did to get cosy with my new #SailfishOS device in a new blog post: "I have my Jolla Phone, what now?"

The native Delta Chat client for SailfishOS, Piirit 2.0.0, is out with a new major release. It comes with lots of new features, including experimental call support!

Although I'm a happy user of the new Jolla Phone, it is of course at the moment still limited in available apps. So I decided to just start asking some of the providers of my preferred Android apps if they are willing to provide a native version for Sailfish OS. I do not expect any of these to be actually happen, but if you don't ask, it will for sure not happen.
The first 6 requests are out, other will follow in the coming weeks.
#sailfishos #jolla #jollaphone2026
the problem with sailfishos is that like-
okay look the operative system itself is actually really good and i love the gesture based stuff + how apps automatically look cohesive based on your theme,
but why does 70% of available native apps have to be vibe coded slop?
it's always like "oh hey this could be neat" looks inside Claude has done all the commits and the app breaks down and dies completely at will

Oh, oh... I'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.

I've seen tech reviews saying that the worst thing about the #Jollaphone is its camera. I figured it wouldn’t be much different from my Nothing or my Ikko Mindone, which have terrible cameras. I was surprised to find that it’s much better than the reviews make it out to be. Since I love taking close-up photos, I’m very satisfied.

@jolla@techhub.social We have a new playlist "Spontaneous opinions by Nicola on Jolla Phone 2026" out on #peertube #SailfishOS #JollaPhone2026
The detox phone Commodore Callback 8020 has more than 11.000 preorders!!!
SailfishOS on a small screen looks fantastic, and SFOS seems to scale nicely!

Finally released my second #sailfishos applications: Peertube Sail, a client for #peertubehttps://openrepos.net/content/amol/peertube-sail
This one has also been an excuse to try to develop a solution to have a lightweight CI that can run tests without the sailfishos SDK. So it uses #dukpy #python #javascript interpreter to test the logic with #pytest and a fake #silica implementation with qmltestrunner to run the UI tests.
My plan is to release the fake silica as its own project once it's refined enough
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

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.

The new Jolla Phone's "Day 1" celebration was held in the capital city of Finland, Helsinki on 8th July 2026. We, two members of Gecos Analytics were present and received our new, shiny #Jolla phones running the open source #SailfishOS.

We've used Linux-based phones a long time. Nokia N900 was the first, followed by the original #Jolla Phone in 2013 followed by Sony Xperia phones (X and XA2). These phones had the commercial version of #SailfishOS installed on them.
