This month 15 years have passed since I've received my Openmoko Neo FreeRunner, which started my personal adventure with mobile GNU/Linux 😊

I remember wondering back in 2008 whether I should invest myself and my money in Openmoko or Android as both were at their infancy and looking interesting. In hindsight, even though Openmoko does not exist anymore, I'm convinced that I've made the right choice!

Mocking Google for their totally-not-an-attempt-to-DRM-the-Web is the right thing to do.

Open issues on the proposal repo and let them know what you think.

Politely.

But, don't be fooled. Even if they take this back, it doesn't change how they think. This is their intention. They just failed to slip it by this time.

The answer is to take power away from Google. Stop using their stuff. Build alternatives. It's not easy, but it's the only way.

And mock them. That's always fun.

Me: Is a photo taken with a phone a representation of what its camera saw or what its software believed to be there? 😼

I've been away from my art projects for some time, due to capitalism...But I've been working on this cute travel journal.
I tried my best to make it well thought-out and pretty with my hand-made art and paper cu-outs. It should make planning trips easy, and it's filled with fun prompts for creative writing, drawing, or contemplating ❤️

If you want it, go here:
amazon.com/dp/B0C9SDHL76
Should be available in other countries soon.
Thank you 🔥

@mistersixt @janvlug Crimson isn't even ready for developers yet, let alone users. There are many regressions over byzantium, many broken dependencies and many non-installable packages there. It was just barely cleaned up enough for images to build last week, and plenty of work is still needed to put it into shape. You can run it if you want, sure, but expect problems and don't expect any support.

@eccentricShaft @kop316 Just to fight the disingenuous: I can fully subscribe to what Chris said there and can add games, giving talks using the phones usb-c output for DP, playing music not only with headphones but also car audio systems via BT (including song information in the cars dash), …

I wouldn't say we have still work to do but who hasn't? This might still be a niche compared to proprietary mobile OSes but there's plenty of people using phones like the as daily drivers.

@kop316 @marcellinusme Also an important point to some of us: AOSP is open-source, but its development is quite locked down, and only serves Google's interests... Working on a Linux-based distro gives developers more leverage to contribute and shape the ecosystem in a way that benefits the community, rather than one single company

Can I just say how much I love the ending sequence in Portal 2? I know these days a lot of big games try to do tv/film-like writing and stuff, but I honestly wish more games committed to doing stuff like this.

This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.

Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

HW/GPU vendors are very creative when using the available register space. Just pack some values in some unused bits of an already used register and call it a day. Takes some time to RE these things.

Hi, I need help! Would you possibly be interested to buy an album with artworks and sketches from "Karambola" (and perhaps some stories behind the puzzles), if I were to make one :) ? (Unless you have other suggestions;)) Hands up! Thanks for your input!!

I'm laughing at memes about billionaires who can't pull themselves up to the surface by their own bootstraps, but in reality I'm furious.

I'm furious I was accused of human smuggling by FRONTEX (European border agency) for being part of a sea rescue operation that saved 1000+ lives of refugees fleeing war & terrorism.

I'm furious at the money and international effort being spent to rescue these billionaires when operations like ours cost so little and save so many lives, but are punished.

Apparently Flappy Bird is 10 years old this year. It reminded me of my crappy ncurses remake I did back in 2014. Now it reacts to mouse input and does haptic feedback when played on a phone 😂 gitlab.com/dosowisko.net/flasc

Mobile #Linux at #DevConf_CZ. I've added my OnePlus 6 to the collection. Thank you, @jmlich, for running the booth.

First week with my #Librem5 as my only phone. What happened so far:
- Synchronized contacts and calendar (Nextcloud)
- Added appointment to calendar and new contacts
- Made phone calls (nornal, loudspeaker)
- Wrote, received SMS
- Used Matrix
- Browesd the web
- Listen to music (Aux, Bluetooth, loudspeeker)
- Made a WiFi Hotspot
- Wrote a Python script to plot a complicated function
- Read News
- Took pictures
- Checked my location on the map
- Wrote this post
- Played games
- Probably more

Haven't seen anyone posting this yet, so I figured I'll share it: during our recent #Gnome #mobileLinux hackfest we got the experimental #libcamera pipeline handler for the #purism #Librem5 to work and make a video call with @dino. There were still some serious issues we didn't have time to debug any more - but hey, it's something :) (featuring @cas )

Yesterday, my friend's son turned four. They had his party at the lake. Since there wasn't really an address to share, my friend sent me the GPS coordinates.
I plugged them into Puremaps and it led me straight there while I was also listening to a podcast.
and the have come a long way.
