@Magnifico OpenZFS is an extremely advanced filesystem which offers, among other things:
* Built-in multiple drive and volume support
* Support for arrays larger than "every hard drive on the planet put together*
* Per-block cryptographic data validation hashes
* *Automatic* repair of corrupt data using said hashes
* Inline compression, multiple algorithms supported
* Native encryption
* INSANELY fast replication
* Instantaneous atomic snapshots
And more. These are $1M SAN features, in FOSS.

@Gargron The biggest gap for Twitter users is the weak initial experience when it comes to finding content. Lowering the bar will help here. Things like seeing popular posts and recommending similar liked accounts will do far.

This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.
Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

Even though people thought bird.makeup would die this weekend with the login wall, it's actually more popular than ever!
The process I use to get information from Twitter still works but has a 40% percent error rate it seems. It's also much higher for accounts followed for the first time. It's very likely that's it's coming from their internal service being flaky and not actual ban enforcement. I'll see over the week if this improves otherwise I'll start figuring workarounds for those cases.
@tyrylu That is neat!
@payarafish Why haven't there been any new posts on your Mastodon account? It seems like the Twitter one has newer information
@gfxstrand Thanks for taking the time to share that insight! I appreciate it!
@gfxstrand Thanks for the update! It is amazing how fast it is progressing.
Was there any decision on the approach for the OpenGL driver? Will a brand new Gallium based OpenGL driver be written or will Zink be used?
@gabrielesvelto Thanks for the amazing insight!
@martinpitt So cool!! ♥️

Matthias Clasen has written a post on the GTK blog about recent changes in the accessibility implementation of the toolkit, as well as improvements in the tooling planned for the 4.12 release: https://blog.gtk.org/2023/06/21/evolving-accessibility/

@haeckerfelix Thank you so much for doing this week after week. This is one of the greatest contributions to GNOME.
@airlied That makes sense, especially since Nvidia isn't getting involved with a shared driver unlike AMD. Thank you for the insight!
@airlied The Nouveau kernel driver is pretty old and uses legacy patterns. It isn't suprrising that there are these bad bugs. Has any company/person taken up the effort to write a new kernel driver? Especially for NVK.
@cassidy I recall there being some designs around this feature being added to an application setting page under "Apps". Either way, if this gets added, it would be a huge win for novice user's using GNOME.
@rmader This is so cool. With libcamera being the long term vision for the Librem 5, things will only get more exciting from here.
