Despite my aversion to subscriptions, I decided to become a Friend of GNOME today to support software I love :}

I'm posting this from #epiphany running on the latest #postmarketos that I just flashed on a OnePlus 6 that a friend gave me.
Though far from perfect, I'm really digging #gnome on mobile and look forward to playing around with this!

After installing "gstreamer1.0-fdkaac" I can now play the first 20 seconds of some YouTube videos before epiphany stalls out... so it looks like I am now hitting one of the bugs you linked:

What's interesting is that I can play ads completely fine (and they are sadly not skippable).
Some progress, I guess.

Given all the mixed messages coming from @npub13gc…hkve about privacy, I've decided to give #gnome web (aka #epiphany) a shot...
It's pretty minimal, but I kinda like that. Only glaring issue is that it can't play YouTube videos :{
That and the lack of vi/vim navigation :|
I'll continue using it for a few days... maybe it will be good enough.

As foreshadowed by this article from @npub1l78…m0ct :
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/08/ubuntu-24-04-fastmail-mailbox-webdav-fixes
#gnome now works with @npub1n8z…jgru via webdav on #ubuntu!
Previously, I had to manually add each of my calendars to the GNOME Calendar app, but now with this update, I can just setup my DAV account in GNOME Settings and it will automatically find my calendars, contacts, and even files (which I never use and thus disabled).
