I can somewhat excuse for not resolving handles with , effectively limiting their support to (not all) instances even if their reason to not do so is rather silly, but this coming out of 's resourceful is just ridiculous.

Fun fact: this whole thing inspired one of my first jam games that I made for in 2015. In "Radio Edit" you fight to defend your artistic integrity from evil label representatives with your facemelting guitar licks 😄 /EOT

Apparently, the label decided that rock is dead and there's no place for guitar solos in popular music anymore 🙃 The whole bridge has been redone, with live drum stem replaced with drum machine across the whole track.

Show thread

Let's move to another song: somewhat melancholic "Ty wiesz" was supposed to burst into an energetic bridge with guest solo by prolific guitarist Jacek Królik.

Show thread

The edited version goes much further to fill the space with instruments. The most obvious are drums, but there's also plenty of electric guitar licks. Gone is Markowski’s vocals’ trademark liberal rhythmic expression, all syllables are put into their place and extended or shortened as appropriate.

Show thread

It diverges more as the song goes on. The original arrangement relies almost exclusively on acoustic guitar and string quartet to set the mood, with a little touch of bass melody.

Show thread

One such difference strikes already within the first seconds of intimate ballad "Wybacz mi" with how the vocals are processed.

Original first, then radio edit.

Kinda disappointed with reissue's cover artwork. It's clearly vectorized, doesn't preserve some details very well, exaggerates others and colors seem all over the place. Not so perfect.

How does it sound though? Who knows! I'd need a record player to tell you that 😂

The patch got merged and the 2004 build of "Zjedz trawkę!" is now published: dos.itch.io/zjedz-trawke

Now just let me quickly prepare a merge request for FluidSynth to solve another issue I've noticed... 😂

Purism has released the Librem 5's mechanical design, adding to already available schematics and PCB layouts.

I think that may make it the first proper Open Hardware smartphone out there.

"The Art and Secrets of " - a digital 92-page heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!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

Buy on or @itchio:

Seems like nobody was reaching for this low-hanging fruit, so I did it myself:

"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using and about 30 seconds of processing.

Took me 3 days of soldering, but it works!

I can connect it to a Librem 5 and it automatically does all the needed PD stuff to expose its UART over USB-C 😁 It's also capable of a lot of other PD magic as a USB PD analyzer / injector / filter.

However, while these solder joints made a good job lasting till I got the firmware PoC working, it doesn't seem like they're going to last much longer... More soldering ahead 😫
