Just want to quickly share with #linuxmobile folks that the new #libcamera softwareISP does indeed work with the #librem5 - and with a #PipeWire + #GStreamer pipeline. Here's a first image with Warp (from Flathub) running.

There's still some stuff to iron out to make this work reliably and ship to users - but things are falling into place.

Bad enough that Wired @willknight continues to call Llama 3 "open source", spreading Meta propaganda. Error is compounded when it's in the context of an article where at least one of the other models discussed actually *is* open source (taking Mistral's Apache 2 license statement at face value).

Happy First Contact Day!

In 39 years, Vulcans will set foot on Earth. More importantly, the Phoenix will be the first human ship to reach Warp 1!

Incidentally, it's also the birthday of the son of Ronald D. Moore, co-writer of Star Trek: First Contact (1996). Happy birthday, Jonathan.

Trying to package #Amazfish into #flatpak. Flatpak doesn't provide way to start back end as systemd service. Otherwise it looks working. It needs to be polished still. Your feedback and tests are welcome. https://github.com/jmlich/harbour-amazfish-flatpak

We need your help! Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on reauthorizing and expanding Section 702. https://eff.org/risaa

Just a reminder that the @mobian repo, image downloads and website arr still down due to a hardware issue. There are backups of everything but the bring up is taking longer than expected.

Had we known it takes this long, we would have provided a temporary solution. Sorry, but we'll be back! 💪

Windows: Literally gets backdoors injected in by the FBI and distributed to every single copy being executed in production in every system on the planet, and they're not only not removed, but INTENTIONALLY ALLOWED FOR YEARS nothing happens, everyone just continues to use Windows.
Linux: little cheeky mf commits a backdoor, gets removed before it even makes it to production it's the fucking end of the world, open source software is doomed etc etc...

@foone from the depths of my meme stash…

@stu We're getting there. I tend to forget how far along #linuxonmobile already came. #phosh is doing a great job (Thank you, #Purism!) and many #Gnome apps already work well on the mobile screen. Kudos to all who made #linuxonmobile what it is today! Amazing!

My saturday #FreeCAD project: A completely parametric 2-piece frame assembly to hold Wiremesh in order to close holes in the walls where rodents are entering, while keeping airflow possible (as it's the basment room that has our central heater).

The frame will be glued into the hole using silicone or similar

Happy Trans* Day of Visibility!

Trans people are mappers, and hackers, and cartographers, and have always been a part of the OpenStreetMap community.

The OpenStreetMap project is creating a freely licenced map of the world, based on how things actually are, based on how they act, and appear, not based on what some government says. OSM is trans positive.

Before folks start railing on open source - let’s not forget there are plenty of examples of undocumented backdoors in proprietary commercial products too, the Boeing 737 Max 9 for example
