would anyone be interested in remote access to any of the following devices for the purposes of #Linux mainline development and testing? You'd be able to power cycle the device and boot an Android boot.img (kernel + dtb + ramdisk), I'm also open to using these devices in CI

* OnePlus 6/6T - #Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
* OnePlus 7 and/or 7 pro - #Qualcomm #Snapdragon 855 / sm8150
* Google Pixel 2 XL, 3, or 3 XL - Snapdragon 835 (msm8998) or Snapdragon 845 (sdm845). (Only have one usb-cereal adapter so only one of these is viable right now)
* #Fairphone 2 - MSM8974
* #Fairphone 5 - QCM6490
* #LG G6 - msm8996 (if someone can find UART and find a workaround for the "charger wet" detection being stuck on)
* #Samsung j3 (j3xnlte) - some spreadtrum SoC - Only if you can find UART for me

I don't have things fully set up here but I'm trying to figure out what i should prioritise.

If any of these sounds useful to you then please get in touch with me! I'm especially interested in folks from the #LinuxMobile community, #Kernel maintainers, or anyone else with an interest in upstream Linux support on phones. Please have some kind of public presence in a related field and tell me what your usecase is.

* DM me on matrix - @ caleb:postmarketos.org
* Email me - caleb@connolly.tech

Please boost for reach!

You can use the #️⃣Unicode #️⃣ as a hashtag?

How labor intensive! 😹

Yes the 🪗 is certainly my most widely available work 🥰 and it makes me laugh

Currently preparing to collaborate on a #PhonographEmoji that I’d really like to succeed

🎙️ Had a great time talking to a-wai, @devrtz and @kop316 from @mobian in episode 35 of the postmarketOS podcast.

* Taking a written test to become a Debian Developer
* How to best contribute to Mobian (it does not involve taking a written test)
* Using Librem 5 while traveling around the world
* Planning for FOSDEM 2024

Now available in gPodder adaptive, KDE's Kasts, GNOME Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts 😉

Probably the smallest hard disk drive ever commercially produced, the 0.85-inch 2GB drive was introduced by Toshiba in 2004 and used in the Nokia N91 mobile phone and the Cowon iAudio 6.

There were 4GB and 8GB versions but by 2007 it fell out of use, replaced by flash memory.

if you are a bandcamp user, you should make sure you have a local download of all your albums in high quality, because they're in a situation where they may stop existing As Such on short notice

Finally got all 3 native #linuxmobile devices #pinephone #pinephonepro #librem5. Going to have to see how the camera compares on all 3

I scrolled down in phosh today to fast-launch the settings app and change my audio output device, when I noticed a little button next to the volume slider. I pressed it and what do you know, phosh added a handy little input/output audio device selector when I wasn't looking!

Hi folks! Would you like to become better hackers?

I offer a #hacker #course for the first 3 lucky applicants.

Want to learn #Rust? #Linux? Or just have someone who knows where to find answers about the universe?

Now I'm ready to become your #mentor - if you support me :)

Watching through the Toy Story movies and it's weird how they keep naming characters after Debian releases.

my gf once told me "🔑 Unable to decrypt message" and I think that's beautiful 🥺

Gender is a lot like operating systems. People always assume you use one of the two big proprietary ones and if you don't, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of confusion and compatibility issues. On the plus side you get a lot more customisability and don't have to care about bullshit policies of the proprietary options.

I never get tired of posting my phone running on the latest stable kernel. Props to @purism for doing all the hard work to maintain the #librem5 kernel and making it easy for @mobian to use it!

Currently internally debating whether I'll attend #37C3. Since #COVID my endurance dumped: Before I was able to run 25km without prior training, now I'm gasping after 5. I cannot do *any* strength/core training without carefully tracking my heart beats.

I do recommend everyone who hasn't been at any Congress to visit if they can, it's an incredible experience. But I had my share of Chaos events this year already and the a) non-existence of any precautions b) the statement of unwillingness to go beyond what's required by law (since when do we care about *that*?), combined with c) the IMHO *disgusting* phrasing on the announcement taking the cherry on the top, only solidified by the comments of orga related people really makes me question going there.

I do understand that it's difficult to mandate masks and I can accept a decision based on this rationale if communicated that way. One could formulate the social goal of reducing infections despite the difficulties. But instead everything is shifted to the individual's responsibility, a weird "libertarian" idea for which I only have utter contempt. There are people worse off than me who need to rely on us behaving properly.

Masks don't hurt. But they're effective.

Designing algorithms to return definitive results and then getting duped by conspiracy theorists is embarrassing; doing the same and getting pwned by the hapless stupidity of large language models is malpractice.

IMO this is not simply a matter of Google's algorithms being no good. What's going on here is that Google is playing a losing game by trying to extract true information from the web algorithmically. Why would Google choose to play a game it could only lose?

today's mission: turn on as many of our cellphones as possible to see just how comprehensive the emergency broadcast test is

@JshKlsn I agree phones would be better if thicker because call me weird my @purism Librem 5 is thick and out of all my phones feels oddly the most comfortable

#Google is trying again to convince you, YES YOU, to contribute for free to Google Maps.
Please don't.
It is 100% #proprietary, Google has full control over the data you added and people can only access Google Maps over proprietary channels where Google dictates the rules. This gives them too much power.

Contribute to #OpenStreetMap instead, it's a project by the community, for the community.

My old #n900 booting the mainline kernel on #postmarketOS, installed on a 1TB SD card.

When this came out, flash memory was $1620/TB [1], and a 32GB SD card was *huge*. I don't think anyone expected to install a 1TB card in one. A lot can be said for maintaining backwards compatibility!
