The effect of putting the #postmarketOS wiki behind #Anubis 😞

I really hope whatever entities are doing this will run out of money soon...

I'm currently looking for one or more volunteers to maintain the Openmoko USB PID + OUI service at https://github.com/openmoko/openmoko-usb-oui as the existing maintainer is no longer available. This is a service providing free USB Product IDs and Ethernet MAC addresses for the #FOSS and #OSWH community. Volunteers have to review of the PRs fulfill FOSS/OSHW licensing requirements before merging PRs. #usb #opensource

One of the things that makes #phosh look a bit unfinished is the fact that we don't show a representation of launching apps in the overview (while they show a splash screen).

We have a merge request for that now and it will hopefully land for 0.52 (or 0.53). This also fixes not being able to interact with apps while one is launching. Together with some pending activation fixes that should make things look more polished and will allow us to fix some other long standing bugs.

#LinuxMobile

committing to that kind of approach is just so obviously a massive PR mistake to me, too. historically it's been so difficult to pin down exactly what 'causes' bugs and regressions (beyond "entropy" or "mistakes") that developers aren't really blamed for them. but if you've decided to "Go All In On AI", any user experiencing any problem whatsoever now has their explanation: it was your fault. you decided to let the AI in, on purpose. it wasn't neglect, it was willful damage you caused

This part in particular examisnes a key tension: "LLM-generated prose undermines a social contract of sorts: absent LLMs, it is presumed that of the reader and the writer, it is the writer that has undertaken the greater intellectual exertion. (That is, it is more work to write than to read!) For the reader this is important: should they struggle with an idea, they can reasonably assume that the writer themselves understands it — and it is the least a reader can do to labor to make sense of it."

Excited to announce that the FOSS on Mobile devroom returns for #fosdem 2026! 🥳

Communities from multiple Linux Mobile projects come together there and hold talks about what was achieved, what challenges lie ahead, how we can collaborate to solve them, as well as random interesting things happening when replacing Google's Android on our phones.

If you have been doing cool stuff in this ecosystem, we want to hear from you - consider submitting a talk!

Thanks to @flypig from the Sailfish OS community for organizing the CfP and thanks to @fosdem for having us again!

Just an random FYI: some streaming services like dropout.tv don't require any kind of #DRM to play. As a matter of fact, you can watch episodes from Dropout on a #Librem5 using #PlasmaMobile 's #angelfish browser.

(Not officially endorsement of Dropout, just stating that not all streaming services require proprietary apps / DRM)

Tonight I’ve been digging into making dEQP-GLES3.functional.depth_stencil_clear.depth_stencil_scissored_masked smaller command-stream-wise - and hopefully faster too.

Turns out GPUs with BLT can handle scissored and masked depth/stencil clears without firing up the full 3D pipeline. I finally figured out which clear bits to set.

The coolest part? etnaviv will be the first Mesa driver to support scissored and masked clears! 🎉

#etnaviv #mesa3d #librem5 #mntreform

@mntmn basically the only utility i found for it is "stuff so mind-numbingly boring i don't want to do it myself, but sufficiently compact that i am willing to check the result thoroughly" which is a sliver of activities so thin i can probably count on two hands every time when a situation like that has arisen

_so_ not worth the ... everything.
