Managed to get PSP emulation working on the Librem 5!

If you think that Linux can move to GitHub or GitLab and still be productive at scale, I want you to read through the MAINTAINERS file in the root of the Linux source tree.
https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/linux/tree/master/MAINTAINERS
Every one of those entries has a dedicated maintainer in charge of it, applying to a subset of the source tree. All 3,000 of them. Many of these have dedicated external trees, mailing lists, and policies. Almost all of this development happens away from the LKML. Each of those trees has a path upwards towards Linus's tree, often via other trees and other maintainers, or towards the -lts trees. These trees are not necessarily authoritative either, and the kernel you're running might be its own upstream maintained by your Linux distro, unique from any of the releases on kernel.org.
All of it is based on email. And it *works* to drive the most efficient and largest-scale open-source project in history.
...and finally Animatch, written by yours truly :) Mali400 does around 20 FPS, while GC7000L manages nice 60 FPS (although it drops with lots of particles on screen, but that's on the game's code I'd say :D)
That's of course a pretty heavy track, on lighter ones the difference is smaller (but still noticeable)
PS. It's hard to steer two karts at the same time :)
Slides from my #debconf20 talk 'My phone runs Debian - and it does phone calls!' (https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/13-my-phone-runs-debian-and-it-does-phone-calls/) are at https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/talks/2020-debconf-mobile/plain/talk.pdf
There's links at the end to the projects / talks i've mentioned.

The design behind a #modular and secure mobile phone
"I don't think I am mistaken if I say that the Librem 5 is the most modular smartphone out there."

3D Gaming on the Librem 5
https://puri.sm/posts/3d-gaming-on-the-librem-5/
The Vivante GC7000Lite GPU in the Librem 5 provides a lot of 3D rendering power while still protecting your #freedom with free software drivers. Here’s a look at how some 3D games run on the Librem 5 today.
Epic v Apple v Google matters to consumers

LED notifications coming to #calls and other parts of the stack via #feedbackd:
#phosh 0.4.0 is out 🚀 :
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.4.0
window preview thumbnails (@dos), more quicksettings (@jspaerber@mastadon.social) and fixes in several areas. Check the changelog!
Our car radio does not do #bluetooth so after fixing up headphone detection in device tree and finishing #phosh's mpris MediaPlayer2 interface i can now feed sound via a 3.5mm audio cable from my l5 to the car radio via #mpd and #mpDris2 . Will show up on a #librem5 near you soon.
With modem and WiFi on I got 5h 34min, and with both off - 7h 45min. With final battery that should translate to about 9h and 12h respectively.
This progress comes mostly due to runtime power management improvements - we don't suspend the CPU! With WiFi on, the phone was reachable and ssh-able through all this time.
The newest game I've been working on, ODGŁOS, is finally available to play! A cute owl, the history of electronic music, shapeshifting snakes and intergalactic journeys inside the Polish Radio Experimental Studio - all in a stop-motion interactive story :) You'll need a browser, headphones and 30 minutes to spare. Have fun!

This is unmodified desktop Chromium straight from the Debian repositories.
Video decoding is unaccelerated yet, but 1080p videos seem to work well even without it (although power hungry a bit :)).
Since i got this question recently: how can i help advancing #phosh and related projects *financially* (without buying a #librem5 right away)? Simplest is to get a paid librem.one subscription (https://librem.one/) atm.
Hi, I'm dos. ~80 silly FLOSS games, open smartphones, terrible music. 50% of @holypangolin; 100% of dosowisko.net. he/him/any. I don't receive DMs.
