If you happen to maintain a distro that runs on the #Librem5, then please be aware that all the known issues resulting in the modem dropping out from the USB bus have been resolved *years ago* already. This shouldn't happen even with runtime power management enabled if configured properly.

If you still see that happening on your distro, feel free to hit me up on Matrix and we'll work together to have your distro set up well.

The #Librem5 has properly detected chargers using BC1.2, Type-C and PD signaling for years now, but it struggled with sources that couldn't actually provide the advertised current (which could happen with buggy chargers/docks, broken or poorly made cables etc.). It would attempt to draw power, drop below voltage threshold, disconnect, and then do it all again once the voltage went back up to a good level in an endless loop. Good news: this behavior is about to be gone 😁 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

NXP has published their 6.18-based kernel tree and while browsing it I have noticed that they apparently found a way to support custom horizontal strides with mxsfb (by using some undocumented leftover IP for EPDC panels that imx8mq doesn't support). This may be interesting as it potentially opens a way to use linear PE in #etnaviv with the #Librem5's internal screen, so the GPU could render directly to the scanout surface without having to resolve its tiled buffer to linear afterwards. #imx8mq

It's funny how this phone keeps feeling faster as it gets older.

Looks like GTK is starting to get its renderer inefficiencies sorted out, as updating Flatpak runtimes has made Tuba smoother than ever 😄 #librem5

I couldn't make any sense out of these #librem5 logs so I yielded to a developer higher in seniority who is now carefully analyzing the issue. #catsofmastodon

Call me a Time Lord, cause lately whenever I dig into something in the kernel I end up fixing clocks being all over the place 🕐 🕜 🕢 🕖 #librem5 #linux #mobilelinux

With 6.12 now available for testing in PureOS, let's take the next step.

The first step forward 👀

So I finally understand why 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 doesn't work with the #Librem5's big cam.

Turns out it's not going to work - but I now at least understand why 😂

(this limits streaming at full res to about 16 FPS 10-bit and 20 FPS 8-bit instead of the sensor's 30 FPS, but you won't really be able to process it at this speed anyway so it's not a big loss; lower res can still work with higher framerates; with the current driver up to 120 FPS but it could go even higher)

I'm happy to report that I've successfully managed to turn my WTFs and OMGs into working touch PointerEvents, and even got to spot and fix some minor bugs on the way. Once I manage to go through the submission and review process as well it should considerably improve the handling of touchscreens on websites in GNOME Web. #webkit #webkitgtk #wpewebkit #epiphany #gnome #librem5 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

So PureOS 11 (crimson) on Librem 5 has become daily driveable, as evidenced by me upgrading the system of my daily driver to it and not having much to complain about. From oldoldstable to oldstable - heading towards modernity one step at a time 😂 #pureos #librem5 #linuxmobile #mobilelinux
