That's how straight lines look like through your phone's camera lens. Such distortion needs to be corrected in software. #shotonlibrem5
Randomly stumbled upon Sean Moss-Pultz's short post about Openmoko, featuring some photos of a working prototype of GTA03/3D7K, the cancelled successor to the Neo Freerunner that was being worked on around 2009. So far I have only heard verbal descriptions of how it looked like (usually described as "a soap dish" 😂) and seen photos of some casing mock-ups and bare PCBs, but never a complete device.

Some soldering iron practice and a bit of melted plastic later, I've got a side LED soldered - and it works!
...but only on second try, after making it face the wrong way and with some bodge wires applied. Well, you can't get *everything* right in the layout of your first prototype, can you? 😜
Watch out, I'm a hardware designer now! My first board is here and it works!
Super happy with the "ambient light" effect:) There's one LED shining at the back into the hand, and another behind the screen, giving the impression of light passing through the PCB. Quite mesmerizing.
I still need to put side LEDs on (one for each of the touch pads), but those tiny SK6812-4020 turned out to be way beyond my amazing soldering skills 😅
POV: a few years ago you uploaded a bunch of games into Google Play that:
- are fully Free Software
- don't gather any user data
- are fully local, no ads
- are complete and finished
- don't really need updating.
One of the games was removed because of "missing privacy policy". Others - I don't even know, they didn't bother to tell me 😜 Seems like the idea that some apps may simply respect the user and not exist to mine for data is unfathomable to Google.
The recording of my #FOSDEM talk - a dive into a bug in USB 2.0 and the problem of spontaneous modem resets that used to be experienced on the #Librem5 is now available to watch: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3200-universal-serial-bug-a-tale-of-spontaneous-modem-resets/ #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #usb #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #fossonmobile #mobile #linux
#KiCad project status: 3D view is cool, but apparently not cool enough for @holypangolin. She promptly fixed it though!
I heard that people were against #systemd because of its bloat. Maybe they're right after all, looks like it's got its own 3D engine now!
(jokes aside, everything seems to point to it being #kwin getting misreported for some reason, but nevertheless, this sight has left me seriously confused at first)
Happy to report that my first PCB layout is barely started and already an unworkable mess. It's quite fun to figure #KiCad out on my own with no tutorials though, the only thing I had to look up so far was how to move a component to the other board side 😁
Just pushed a tiny update for Petal Hero with improved A/V delay. Grab it from the app store! #flow3r #flow3rbadge #37c3 #cccamp23 #PetalHero
So turns out I'm going to be speaking at #FOSDEM in February as part of the "FOSS on Mobile Devices" track. We'll go step-by-step through debugging a spontaneous modem reset issue that used to trouble the #Librem5 phone, which - spoiler alert - turned out to be a (not very well-)known bug in the #USB 2.0 spec. Check this and other talks out at https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/foss-on-mobile-devices #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #linuxmobile
Update your #flow3rbadge to firmware 1.3.0 and get Petal Hero from the app store - it's OUT NOW! Comes with 5 songs bundled, but you can extend it with songs for #FretsOnFire and other similar rhythm games. Here you can see me playing Jono Bacon's version of the Free Software Song - though I do better when not in front of the camera 😂 @flow3rbadge #flow3r #CCCamp23 #37c3 #micropython
WAAAA - my old game where you move the ball using your voice - is now playable in browser for easier casual enjoyment. Check it out ➡️ https://dos.itch.io/waaaa #gamedev #indiegame #games #indiedev
For practical reasons, photos that you #ShotOnLibrem5 are processed into JPEGs with lower quality than what the camera can do. There are some (complex) ways in which this processing could be made faster and therefore cram more pixels and algorithms that make things prettier, but meanwhile...
Each photo you take is stored as both raw DNG and processed JPG - so you can go back to raw data and retroactively gain quality. See https://dosowisko.net/l5/photos/ for an example.

Be a Petal Hero! My game for #cccamp23 badge is finally starting to become playable 😁 #flow3r #flow3rbadge #gamedev #fretsonfire
Home is where your phone instantly registers to a cellular network 🤪️ #cccamp23 #shotonlibrem5
