@djlink Waaay too fast!

@becomethewaifu Makes sense, thanks! It wasn't clear that it's only needed with SB enabled.

@mcc Why does installing non-free drivers require Secure Boot to be configured in the first place? 😬

@Luigi311 Note that the default L5 pipeline is quite limited when it comes to image quality (it prioritizes usability), you can get much further with longer processing or some manual touches - see https://social.librem.one/@dos/111115692731898723 and https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-photo-processing-tutorial/

@thcrt The more you look at it the worse it gets.

@KinmenRisingProject @awai @gecko @tootbrute @purism The only way to have people follow your governance is either:
a) to pay them; or
b) to find someone already aligned with what you want to do, and with ability to do so.

Everything that happens for free comes from b). It can lead to strong structures based on volunteer work and mutual trust, but it's *inherently* chaotic, especially when the community is still relatively small.

@KinmenRisingProject @cas @mobian Once we get to the size and level of organizational maturity of Debian, Linux or similar hugely successful FLOSS projects, then things will mostly work on their own: if there's something that needs to be done in Linux, eventually someone pops up and does it, paid or not (though more likely to be paid, in fact!). We're nowhere close to that yet, I still regularly stumble upon issues that turn out to be trivial to fix but that simply nobody looked close at so far.

@KinmenRisingProject @cas @mobian Both Pi and Arduino employ developers that act as stewards for software support for their platforms. Even Openmoko did.
I did my fair share of unpaid development work in the mobile GNU/Linux world across the last two decades; I also had an opportunity to get paid for such work, so I know both sides well:) I wouldn't be able to do half the things I did if had to earn for living with something else as well, and the community is still small enough for it to matter.

@mcc > improved driver support

I'm not sure if you have actually ever looked at your typical Android drivers close enough...

@KinmenRisingProject @mobian If you want "professional", someone needs to pay for it. Otherwise you're fully at mercy of your community becoming big and diverse enough for someone with the right skillset to step in and do the needed stuff before the interest fades. And even when they do, they do it on their own terms - you can't demand anything.

Ever wondered where the price difference between PinePhone and Librem 5 comes from? Hint: there's no trouble with maintaining the Librem 5 kernel tree.

@Hyperlynx ...which is exactly why there's no place for it in Git, or any other DVCS for that matter. It should be built on top, because it's a completely separate problem to what distributed version control systems concern themselves with. Git does not offer any primitives that could be helpful in implementing it at all, it's just not the place to handle it.

@grumpygamer File locking has its use-cases, but it goes completely against the idea of DVCS. I don't think there's a place for it in Git, it feels like something best done in a layer on top of a VCS.
