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.
