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."
@janvlug @fisherdude @valhalla The early Evergreen batches (pre-1.0.6) are more susceptible to power supply noise, and pre-Evergreen batches had very poor GNSS reception. The majority of produced phones are 1.0.6 and should have it working well though. On the earlier ones, reducing power consumption (display backlight/blanking, background CPU usage etc.) may help. Of course uploading fresh AGNSS data to the module will tremendously speed it up too.

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.

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!

choose your fighter: phoc /fɔk/ vs sxmo /ˈsɛks.məʊ/
@fisherdude Neither, I used darktable. Here it is as was developed by the default Millipixels' pipeline.

@nura Well, it looks like it could have been taken with a Librem 5, maybe even running Nura 😜

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:.
We're watching XDC and waiting for pmOS/NaALCon videos to be up 👀

@stfn będę zbierał chrust
@paulk Out of curiosity: why are you asking about postmarketOS in particular?
@fisherdude And there are still good things to come.
