I use a somewhat old #V800 sports watch (what a joke, it's 10y old and #Polar does seem to have stoped support for it). I use it offline by downloading its data to my Linux notebook. While on vacation I could do the same using the same software stack on my mobile phone: a #Librem5.
Once in a a while I still get this feeling how amazing it is to have a small Linux computer in my pocket - even though it is already since more than a year my only mobile phone.
With a few small bumps, managed to get the #Librem5 booting into a #Mobian installer, and installed with an encrypted rootfs!
So far, only have #Dino configured, but that is enough for this to be a hugely useful communications device, especially with #JMPchat to connect up to telephony networks!
Love the kill switches for cellular modem, wifi/bluetooth and camera/mic!
This is my first #Debian #Trixie based computer, as there may be issues with the now-stable #Bookworm on this hardware.
If you're using an external dock with touchscreen: Due to the wlroots update we need to update the touch mappings to make touch on the external output still work. There will soon be a phosh-mobile-settings bugfix release to make this simple for known docks: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-mobile-settings/-/merge_requests/63

I've received my first sample of Glasgow Interface Explorer https://glasgow-embedded.org for evaluation
it is *beyond excellent*. it exceeds any standard I could possibly have for it. the team (1bitSquared and everyone else who collaborated) working on it deserves the highest praise
New phone who dis? It's real!
The #Librem5 is almost like the #PinePhone's big and slightly more specced up sibling - a Linux pocket computerbox bringing desktop covergence to a phone - and @purism has contributed most of the code that allows Gnome/Phosh/Linux on a phone to dynamically resize desktop apps. Happy to finally get mine and support this project! Purism got bodyslammed by supply chain issues during the pandemic and is now catching up on shipping ❤️ See https://puri.sm/
After finally attempting to rescue my long broken #Librem5 devkit, I ended up with it booting into this Feb 2020 image. It already somewhat resembles the current thing, but gosh, we sure have made a lot of progress since then! 😁
Excuse the white balance being all over the place, this was *not* shotonlibrem5 ;)

browser performance conversations often discuss perf in a vacuum. not super useful.
one thing we discovered back when i worked on Firefox was that it performed faaaarrr better for heavy users then Chrome, which optimizes for the median case user, which actually trends very light - a few tabs, small daily usage.
if you're a tab hoarder like me, Chromium perf gets pretty bad after 15-20 tabs. Firefox scales up to thousands w/o blinking.
I also found a storyboard with the origin story of the fruit-people from "Karambola"! :)
I put up the full animation on my ko-fi. Please support if you can!

Look what I dug up!
The initial ideas for the ending and the first original map sketches from "Karambola".
I finally added a new post on ko-fi - deleted scenes from ODGŁOS!

The times are hard and I'll be really grateful for your support ❤️ Thank you!
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:

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.
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.
