OMG. DirectX is adopting SPIR-V, and will eventually use it to replace DXIL! 🤯 (Yes, I triple checked. Today isn't April Fools.)

@cas What I want is the ability to power gate the modules, which has plenty of use-cases, but most importantly it gives me some control over black-boxed peripherals. Whether it's ultimately controlled by a hardware switch or the OS that I actually control doesn't make much difference - or at least that's what I used to think until I started using the L5 and noticed how convenient the switches are. The PinePhone ones are IMO mostly useless though (maybe aside of the UART one).
@cas I couldn't care less about the security aspect, but I was actually surprised how much I use Librem 5's kill switches. They're so handy! Well, the cellular and WiFi ones at least, I don't think I have ever used the camera one for non-debugging purposes 😜
It's the small things: If you've been bothered with #calls and #chatty seemingly starting up slowly in #phosh (while most other apps startup fast): I've posted MRs to fix this in chatty and calls (which then also prompted a small fix in phosh). Here's a quick demo of calls before and after the change:
@foone dunno if I qualify as "not weird", but I don't maintain a conversion script and just use gifski...
...aaand I fixed it. Well, on my device at least.
So who's responsible for this part of SteamOS? @collabora? @igalia? Wanna hire me? 😁
...not that this issue was particularly challenging - just some rebuilds needed - but it's not the first SteamOS problem I've cracked either 😜 The most fun one was definitely https://social.librem.one/@dos/108207818934827134
Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you're actually doing is *making it look like content marketing* rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.

The acceptable number of people getting SARS at any given event should be zero. Not ten. Not one hundred. Zero.
SARS-CoV-2 causes chronic disease in 10-30% of infections. That means for every 10 people who are infected, for 1-3 of them that will be a life-altering experience. Some will eventually recover. Others may not.
As reports of people getting infected with SARS at RustConf roll in, it’s hard not to think of those whose life will inevitably change because of this.
@jannem kwin_wayland is a great way to nest things inside gamescope (when it works)
Discovering that Xwayland in KWin has been recently broken on #SteamDeck made me sad, but then I realized that there's a mainstream game console with which my main gripe is Xwayland in KWin being temporarily broken.
TIL there's European tram driver championship running since 2012 and its disciplines make it even more ridiculous than how it sounds. 10/10 👍

@maryjane I was raised on dpkg and took its robustness for granted until I moved to Arch and experienced pacman's failure modes that would just never happen on Debian 😁
I released #GNOME #Calls 47.0 yesterday 🚀 \o/

@sos @hauleth @q3k @Perroboc May take a while 😫
I'm confused, really. What "execution" are you talking about? The petition says "hey, disabling sold games with no way to make them playable again shouldn't be legal, pls do something about it", and that's it - it doesn't execute anything, nor does it provide any solutions; it's not supposed to, it's a petition. Are you talking about some auxiliary stuff? I'm commenting on the petition itself, which sounds as reasonable as a petition can be to me.
Hi, I'm dos. Silly FLOSS games, open smartphones, terrible music and more. 50% of @holypangolin; 100% of dosowisko.net. he/him/any. I don't receive DMs.
