If you think that Linux can move to GitHub or GitLab and still be productive at scale, I want you to read through the MAINTAINERS file in the root of the Linux source tree.
https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/linux/tree/master/MAINTAINERS
Every one of those entries has a dedicated maintainer in charge of it, applying to a subset of the source tree. All 3,000 of them. Many of these have dedicated external trees, mailing lists, and policies. Almost all of this development happens away from the LKML. Each of those trees has a path upwards towards Linus's tree, often via other trees and other maintainers, or towards the -lts trees. These trees are not necessarily authoritative either, and the kernel you're running might be its own upstream maintained by your Linux distro, unique from any of the releases on kernel.org.
All of it is based on email. And it *works* to drive the most efficient and largest-scale open-source project in history.
@ruff Dunno where the "almost similarly specced" meme comes from. It's a cool device and I'm glad to see multiple options on the market, but the hardware is nowhere near similar (and it's hardly surprising given the price range).
...and finally Animatch, written by yours truly :) Mali400 does around 20 FPS, while GC7000L manages nice 60 FPS (although it drops with lots of particles on screen, but that's on the game's code I'd say :D)
That's of course a pretty heavy track, on lighter ones the difference is smaller (but still noticeable)
PS. It's hard to steer two karts at the same time :)

Slides from my #debconf20 talk 'My phone runs Debian - and it does phone calls!' (https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/13-my-phone-runs-debian-and-it-does-phone-calls/) are at https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/talks/2020-debconf-mobile/plain/talk.pdf
There's links at the end to the projects / talks i've mentioned.

The design behind a #modular and secure mobile phone
"I don't think I am mistaken if I say that the Librem 5 is the most modular smartphone out there."

@eyecreate@mastodon.technology @purism Just UI scaling - `wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --scale 1 --transform 90` should make it work.
@eyecreate@mastodon.technology @purism But it is in the repos:

3D Gaming on the Librem 5
https://puri.sm/posts/3d-gaming-on-the-librem-5/
The Vivante GC7000Lite GPU in the Librem 5 provides a lot of 3D rendering power while still protecting your #freedom with free software drivers. Here’s a look at how some 3D games run on the Librem 5 today.

@sir You can do `git fetch <remote> pull/<PR-number>/head`
...but for single commits I often use patches anyway ;)
@craftyguy @leimon FWIW in a completely non-scientific comparison my phones have made right now while I was working on battery gauge driver, I've got 5 hours of battery life on Birch with modem and WiFi on, while Dogwood is still running 4.5 hours after Birch has shut down. There was some inconsistent usage meanwhile, but it's easy to notice the improvement :D
@Roboron @martijnbraam It should as long as PinePhone supports BLE. I have played with connecting Steam Controller to Librem 5 almost a year ago already and it worked via cable, wireless dongle and Bluetooth just fine, including keyboard and mouse emulation.
@amosbatto Yes, I know, and I said that earlier - most USB-C to HDMI adapters use DP alt-mode, which is universally supported, and not HDMI alt-mode, which is rather rare and can't be used together with USB signal at the same time.
@amosbatto DisplayPort alt-mode is carrying a DisplayPort signal, not HDMI. It's usually the adapter that converts it to HDMI.
@amosbatto DisplayPort alt-mode is in fact how most USB-C to HDMI adapters work. HDMI alt-mode, although it exists, is rather rare and not supported that well across various hardware.
