"The Art and Secrets of " - a digital 92-page heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!

Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

The newest game I've been working on, ODGŁOS, is finally available to play! A cute owl, the history of electronic music, shapeshifting snakes and intergalactic journeys inside the Polish Radio Experimental Studio - all in a stop-motion interactive story :) You'll need a browser, headphones and 30 minutes to spare. Have fun!

time!
My name is dos; some call me Sebastian. I made dozens of small silly video and some slightly less small ones too. I'm one half of @holypangolin studio. Sometimes I pretend to be a musician, but don't get fooled. I'm also a living encyclopedia on a Polish rock band "Perfect". Trams are cooler than trains. The more caramel, the better. I've been using GNU/#Linux on phones for ages, which led me to work with @purism on the Librem 5. btw I use Arch, but I ❤️ Debian!

phosh 0.58.0 is out 🚀📱:

It's mostly 🐛 fixes this time around but also some quality of life improvements and more hardware support in BengalOS:

Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.58.0/ for details or see 👇 for a short 🧵

🙏 to everyone who contributed to this release.

In case you couldn't tell I wrote it to be tongue-in-cheek, however, looking back at it it's actually surprisingly accurate! I've been used to daily driving GNU/Linux phones for half my life and I've never really seen Android/iOS as a viable alternative. Sure, some things they do better, but they're not the ones I really care about. My short time when I carried an Android device around because N900 was getting too old to handle the Web well was quite frustrating; I was glad it ended soon enough!

I tried - I had carried an Android device as my secondary phone for some 2-3 years in the past, and I have had an iPhone sitting in my drawer for years, and I can see that they’re just not up to the task. Simple things remain utterly confusing or even impossible to achieve with these devices, and they seem unable to provide even the basic feeling of control that you would expect over a device you’re supposed to own. Maybe their third decade of existence will bring the much needed improvement!

I wonder: will Android or iOS ever become a viable alternative to Linux phones?

Apple started quick and announced the iPhone just a few months after a GNU/Linux smartphone. Google took a bit longer with Android - but now they both had nearly 20 years, and yet they're still nowhere close to being able to replace GNU/Linux phones. Will they ever up their game and finally create a device worth switching to? I have my doubts, but we’ll see.

@janl @danirabbit We're getting a steady stream of LLM-generated or assisted article pitches and now a bunch of pitches for "projects" created using LLMs. I doubt we're seeing as much nonsense as y'all are, but it is so draining.

No. We don't want to publish something written by or assisted by your stochastic parrot.

No. We're not going to write about a software project that you threw together with LLMs and will probably grow bored with when the novelty wears off and/or you run out of money for tokens.

If there's one message LLM users need to hear very loudly, I think, it's this:

"No, you didn't create this. You summoned it. Nobody asked you to, but you did it anyway. You aren't getting a cookie for it. Nobody will be proud of you for doing it. Go away."

What's next: land the last GLES3 fixes (and submit i.MX8QM), upstream the compiler, GLES 3.1 and beyond, and better perf tooling.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and tested along the way. 💙

Years in the making - worth every step.

Some things are worth the wait. 🐢

Tonight at #XDC2026 I gave a 5-minute lightning talk: "etnaviv: good things take time" - a look back at a year in which the Vivante GPU driver in Mesa finally reached two milestones that once felt very far away.

A short thread 🧵 1/6

#etnaviv #mesa3d

Lately I've been closely following that work and I can confirm what @austriancoder just showed at XDC: GLES3 on etnaviv is finally there :) Huge thanks to everyone involved!

I took my Nokia #N900 from the drawer and put latest #Maemo #Leste on sdcard. It has some quirks to overcome at start, but it works quite fine. I've bought a new replacement battery, so it now keeps running for a long time.

I installed wireguard on it and can use SSH to log in to my devices. The dillo browser is not able to render websites correctly, but also it's amazing when it shows only relevant parts and cuts all the crap. Email is timeless, so it just works. Syncevolution is unfortunately currently broken (can't install; broken dependencies).

A real pocket computer. It has aged like a fine wine :neocat_w:.

I’ve been running deqp on three different GPU model/revisions in parallel over the last few weeks and fixed a bunch of issues along the way. Now I just need to get the remaining fixes into MRs and hopefully get them landed soon. There might still be some open MRs by XDC, but that’s fine.

WebKitGTK 2.54 has been finally released, and with it (among lots of other great things!) my patches adding support for fractional TouchPoint coordinates, PointerEvent capture/release through the DOM API, and fixing pinch-to-zoom handling and V4L2 video acceleration. It's been a while but it's out now:)

webkitgtk.org/2026/09/16/webki

WebKitGTK 2.54.0 has been released! The WebKit team at @igalia is happy to announce this new series, which comes with lots of improvements. Read the details at webkitgtk.org/2026/09/16/webki

Just realized that I've been already rebelling against generative AI way before it was cool - but to know exactly how, you'll have to spend 30 minutes of your life playing our silly little free game jam game from 2015.
