Good news everyone! Geoclue 2.7.2 is out.
Now for the bad news: Although alternatives exist, the shutdown of Mozilla Location Services (#MLS) basically crippled #Geoclue for devices without a GPS.
Help is on the way though, code for a GeoIP location source is being developed, and it should make it easy to add different providers. Please see the MR here:
gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue
Testing, comments, patches and suggestions for GeoIP providers are welcome!

unpopular FOSS opinion 

@filiplachert @jon It's clearly an attempt to make the lives of people who messed with them harder. There's not much more to it.

@mntmn In fact, there should be no need to copy anything; seems like all you'd need is exposed in libphosh, so you may be able to do it with just a few lines of glue code.

@mntmn I guess you could cut PhoshBackground out of phosh and end up with just that.

"The Art and Secrets of " - a digital 92-page heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!

Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

@whitequark @hailey I had been there many years ago, confused about why shouldn't I keep debian/ dir upstream even though I was the one packaging my own thing in Debian. Only after getting more familiar with how things work I realized it makes perfect sense given the Debian's processes. I don't think it's fair to characterize it as "hostile".

It may still be valuable to maintain debian/ upstream though, but distinct from the distro packaging (usually for CI or for self-compiled dev builds).

Interestingly, BMCs in the Supermicro server are based on ASPEED SoCs.

These SoCs include a USB Device Controller capable of emulating a USB hub via the Linux kernel USB Gadget subsystem. This is the only such controller known to me.

apparently you can get from Plymouth to Wayland in less than 15 hours

@AmpBenzScientist @lupyuen To be fair, PocketCHIP had a 480x272 display and the same GPU as the PinePhone (with fewer cores though). Even Neo Freerunner was fast in QVGA mode.

@thejackimonster @linmob @Blort @martijnbraam It's certainly optimized for quality rather than performance ;)

For the phone use-case, I see it as a stop-gap. I used darktable because it was there; that's what I used for manual RAW handling so I knew how to make it output something nice. I bet you could write a much more performant and suited-for-mobile processing pipeline with good enough results, but that's a bit more involved than some UIs and glues 😜

@linmob @Blort @martijnbraam BTW. Doing what Glowup does directly from Millipixels/Megapixels is literally a one-liner which you can put there without even recompiling anything. You'll just have to deal with >30 seconds of 100% CPU usage and plenty of RAM being eaten each time you shoot a photo, which personally I don't find to be a very appealing idea 😂

@linmob @Blort @martijnbraam Martijn also mentioned remote postprocessing some time ago, which makes sense too - my laptop does in 4 seconds what my phone does in 30.

The hard parts are there, what's left is some simple glue. I'm trying to encourage people to do this kind of nice entry-level tasks. Writing glowup.py took me just a few hours of fiddling with libadwaita in total, which would be better done by someone who'd like to learn this stuff and actually take it somewhere further.

#Wayland #inputmethod team GO!

I assembled a team to continue work I started for #mobilelinux with #phosh , #squeekboard and #librem5 .

We're going to finish the mobile side of screen-based input, and also try to properly bring traditional input methods (like for Chinese) to Wayland.

Thanks @nlnet for providing the motivation.

Just two days left until the first hearing Newag's lawsuit against us (Dragon Sector members) and SPS. It will take place on 28.08.2024 at 10:00. In case you've missed it, we're being accused of infringing upon Newag's intellectual property and unfair competition. This is, of course, bullshit and a great example of a SLAPP case.
