Ever wanted to see what your #GTK app could look like on mobile? Grab @purism 's #libhandy and open it in GNOME Builder. It will launch the demo app.

You can then play with the GTK widgets offered by libhandy, and change the window size to see how it looks like on desktop or on mobile.

It is feature-packed, try some gestures on a touchpad and you may be surprised!

It looks like the latest #Librem5 kernel update reduced active power consumption by another 100-140mA based on my own measurements. I hear there are a lot more improvements in the pipeline once we switch from 5.3 to the 5.6 kernel.

Wow, that was quick: Thanks to Lucas Stach our #etnaviv runtime power managemt fix already landed in linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=range&q=ea4ed4a55f7363ad8db1863bd536548fb7e5c6aa..78f2bfa3181cd7ee134274aa17177dd933c69dc1

The fix hits the #librem5 with the next kernel update.

Facebook just dropped an Engineering Whitepaper on how they made the new version of their iOS app faster and more reliable and it basically boils down to "Use native OS API calls whenever possible"

It's a 20+ paragraph screed that reads like a technical manual, and that's all it really says. "Maybe electron is bad and we should use native calls?". They called it "Project Lightspeed".

I'm screaming.

Turns out I've been "practicing social distancing" for years without even realizing it was a thing!

@wolf480pl You're gonna hate this, but you loop the last octet.

10.255 = 10.0.0.255
10.256 = 10.0.1.0

So the answer to your question is 10.258

It suddenly strikes me that 'trillion dollar tech companies not caring that their products turn into abandoned toxic info-waste pits - that customers are still locked into - after a couple of years' and 'trillion dollar oil companies pouring CO2 into the atmosphere' and 'trillion dollar soft drink companies pouring plastic into the sea' are basically all the same problem:

Companies are incentivised, by the economics of selling, not to care at all about the end-of-life story of their products.

I've collected some hacks from our kernel team and tested the idle time on battery on my Librem 5 Birch - got almost exactly 6 hours while staying at 38°C the whole time. Not that long ago it struggled to reach 3h and stay under 60°C - and they're not done yet! :D #librem5 #imx8m

@fabrixxm released an early version of Confy, an app to get organized when visiting conferences.

This looks very promising, keep up the good work Fabio, I'd love to use it at next @fosdem on my #librem5 !

Hot take: the only good kind of ticket is the kind where the person who filed it is using it as a means of organizing the work they're planning on undertaking to fix it.

@thibaultamartin @carlosgonz@mastodon.social desktop Firefox works quite well, we wrote a blog post about it which also includes a video comparing it to the GNOME web experience https://puri.sm/posts/desktop-firefox-in-your-pocket-with-the-librem-5/

Corona prevention. I died with laughter. LOL

Getting started with the #Librem5. We've worked really hard on getting the first-use experience just right:

@macst3r Sobald sich dieser Zwang nicht mehr umgehen lässt, werden wir definitiv kein Windows 10 mehr vorinstallieren.

Proper error handling may be hard, but proper exception handling is nearly impossible.
