@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.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social @element@mastodon.matrix.org #sailfishos @sailfishosnews@mastodon.social #DeepL @jolla@techhub.social 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.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social How could you omit #SailfishOS?

@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! ❤️

@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! :)

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 #sailfishos #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

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

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. 2/30

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. 3/30
