@BitBorderliner Depends on who "we" is - it's been shipping to backers for months now, but it will still take some time to handle all orders to date and reach shipping parity.

Taking photos with the Librem 5 has gotten easier with the viewfinder :) #shotonlibrem5

@linmob @agx @eliasr @joao @martijnbraam It does - kernels with both cameras being operational have been present in both byzantium and amber-phone for a while now.

@linmob But you already can! Well, from the command line only, sure, but the kernel that allows it has been released to the users for a while now ;) #shotonlibrem5

@LittleJoeMuc Nope, I've only ever had one Kindle. Still have it - it's old, but it's "jailbroken" and still works fine as a reader, so there's no need to make it an organ donor :)

But from what I've seen on e-radionica forums it should be possible to get a displayless Inkplate, so I'd recommend getting in touch with them.

A few days ago I had an idea for a simple e-ink project and found Inkplate - an Open Hardware design with ESP32 and recycled Kindle displays.

Programmed it to wake up daily at midnight to download a PGM image over WiFi (https://gitlab.com/dos1/kartka) from a server which checks some stuff like trash collection schedule. Should last years on a single battery charge.

Check it out if you look for a super approachable way to build some e-ink stuff! https://inkplate.io/

@Lofenyy@mastodon.technology @martijnbraam FYI, phosh just reads those settings the same way GNOME Shell does, so any guides on how to change these things via command line for GNOME Shell will also work for phosh.

@dukethereal Actually I just went to play with some knobs manually out of curiosity in rawtherapee - I guess another reason I shouldn't do that is that I'd always crank the saturation up to 11 :D

@Alexmitter @linmob @danctnix @PINE64 Long time ago - and since recently you don't need to switch to GLES with an env var anymore cause GTK4 does it as a fallback automatically now.

@dukethereal With some further (but still automatic) processing with dcraw and GIMP I got this. I don't even try to actually process photos manually; there are way too many knobs to adjust. I have the same problem with tone knobs on guitar effects - I lack the imagination needed to get out of local maxima :D

@dukethereal I used `dcraw -a -H 0 -q 3 -K black0.pgm kwiatek.raw` - so auto white balance, black frame subtraction and that's pretty much it.

(it's 8-bit 4208x3120 GRBG - and you'll probably notice autofocus phase pixels that we don't handle in any way just yet :))

I know next to nothing about photography and made no manual processing, so someone with some knowledge will likely get a better photo. If you want to play with it, here's the RAW: https://dosowisko.net/kwiatek.raw + black frame: https://dosowisko.net/black0.pgm
