@linmob Cool, thanks! Fascinating to see #postmarketOS continuing to make inroads towards fully mainlining hardware not specifically designed to run Linux (eg the Pixel3A) as well as what's happening with PlasmaMobile and Phosh! Glowup also looks really cool, although it would be nice to actually have it potentially do it's thing directly from one of the camera apps.
Thanks for putting together this smorgasboard of #LinuxMobile news!

@Blort Thanks!
Regarding Glowup and other post-processing things - I've been thinking about (but not communicating to the people who do camera stuff -- cc @dos, @martijnbraam ) coming up with a "postprocess nicely while idle and connected to a charger" - much like an iPhone does for stuff like generating highlight albums or person recognition.
This combined with a low-res, fast preview image generated when taking a picture could be a way to do this on slower hardware.

That sounds amazing. WOuld definitely contribute to that crowdfunder, especially if it was for a #PlasmaMobile app (unlikely, I know, but a Blort can wish...)

@linmob @Blort @martijnbraam Martijn also mentioned remote postprocessing some time ago, which makes sense too - my laptop does in 4 seconds what my phone does in 30.
The hard parts are there, what's left is some simple glue. I'm trying to encourage people to do this kind of nice entry-level tasks. Writing glowup.py took me just a few hours of fiddling with libadwaita in total, which would be better done by someone who'd like to learn this stuff and actually take it somewhere further.

@dos @linmob @Blort heh I'm just busy trying to integrate lensfun into postprocessd to have better image quality. At least this way the postprocessing cpu usage will be serialized when taking multiple pictures and set to lower cpu priority.
The remote processing just needs a bit of image uploading infra that nobody seems to have built yet

Would love to see an Nextcloud app, or something similar that didn't necessarily rely on Nextcloud for this... especially since Nextcloud doesn't have ImageMagic or FFMPEG installed by default).
That said, for me personally, a Nextcloud app that integrated with Megapixels would be totes amazeballs.
