TIL: It's surprisingly hard to design a board for such a simple schematic that will be cheap to manufacture 😫

@blake There is no separate "mobile version" of PureOS - it's the same OS as what runs on laptops, built from the same repos (early versions had a repo overlay, but that's gone for years now). And while we often worked with and do love our pmOS pals (there's plenty of cross-pollination between various distros there on multiple levels), I really don't think it's a fair characterization of how the OS was built 😂

@blake > a variant of PureOS, which is itself built on Ubuntu and PostmarketOS (which makes Linux available for phones)

Neither of that is true; PureOS is built on Debian.

@SceNtriC Przypomniało mi się, jak wcześniej tego samego dnia co grali w Opolu prezentowali klasyki Perfectu we Wrocławiu 😁

@gnuntoo @thegnuguy In the strict sense: no, not really. However, there's nothing that would prevent efficient periodic wake-ups to check for those - but we need to build a proper infrastructure for that first and then use it across apps.

Had to update my userChrome.css for the new version of a bit - the necessary changes turned out to be trivial, but it still managed to nerd-snipe me into making the whole thing a bit more robust 😅

@lina > Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2

Ah, I see you are a person of culture as well.

i'm always baffled when new things launch and they don't have a fediverse link but instead still on birdsite and maybe instagram, it feels somehow antiquated

@sigmasternchen @ptrc @psykose Both are used in different contexts (contributing patches vs. merging between maintainer trees)

@sigmasternchen @ptrc @psykose ...and that's exactly how pull requests are being used on Linux mailing lists.

I can finally use my #Librem5 phone camera with #pipewire, making it available to many applications through common interface. A big step to #Librem5, a great step for Freedom.

@thegnuguy You can use system suspend which makes it last about 20 hours (at expense of not waking up on network events such as IM messages; only calls and SMS).

Burnout in the FOSS community is real, and I'm glad that it's something that is being talked about more in blogs and conferences. There is a different flavor of burnout and emotional toll when you are sacrificing for a cause you believe in (especially in FOSS where people are often working for free or at below market rate). Working for a cause you believe in brings the highest highs when things are going well, but the lowest lows when they go badly.

#FOSS #burnout

@0xabad1dea Based on given requirements, a script that hashes the content, uploads it to some online content-addressable storage and then downloads it back on "decompression" would probably be unbeatable 😜

#postmarketOS just landed the last MR needed to make the #libcamera + #PipeWire camera stack work on the #Librem5 and #PinePhone by default, using the new software ISP shipped in libcamera 0.3.
So if you have such a device: just update and go install apps like Snapshot, Warp, Decoder etc.

Note that this does *not* replace #megapixels or #millipixels - those continue to be the default camera apps.

@joojmachine @lidsel @capital What you're describing is essentially a btrfs snapshot and hardly relevant to what Microsoft is doing, which is about screenshots.

Whenever I have to deal with on devices that formerly ran android I realize how super simple things like flashing and debugging are on the compared to that.

No odd partition schemes, no super sensitive boot loader that gives up on the first glitch. Just and if all else fails .
