Good news everyone! Geoclue 2.7.2 is out.
Now for the bad news: Although alternatives exist, the shutdown of Mozilla Location Services (#MLS) basically crippled #Geoclue for devices without a GPS.
Help is on the way though, code for a GeoIP location source is being developed, and it should make it easy to add different providers. Please see the MR here:
gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue
Testing, comments, patches and suggestions for GeoIP providers are welcome!

unpopular FOSS opinion 

"The Art and Secrets of " - a digital 92-page heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!

Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

Interestingly, BMCs in the Supermicro server are based on ASPEED SoCs.

These SoCs include a USB Device Controller capable of emulating a USB hub via the Linux kernel USB Gadget subsystem. This is the only such controller known to me.

apparently you can get from Plymouth to Wayland in less than 15 hours

#Wayland #inputmethod team GO!

I assembled a team to continue work I started for #mobilelinux with #phosh , #squeekboard and #librem5 .

We're going to finish the mobile side of screen-based input, and also try to properly bring traditional input methods (like for Chinese) to Wayland.

Thanks @nlnet for providing the motivation.

Just two days left until the first hearing Newag's lawsuit against us (Dragon Sector members) and SPS. It will take place on 28.08.2024 at 10:00. In case you've missed it, we're being accused of infringing upon Newag's intellectual property and unfair competition. This is, of course, bullshit and a great example of a SLAPP case.

@fasterthanlime @Kahanis @uint8_t @mntmn @timonsku @dos I really dislike it that when I ask a question I can't easily answer--which is a *really big share* of questions I ask a search engine--an LLM is straight up lying to me, in a way I can only recognize *because I'm already a domain expert* who was in the field since high school

what if I wasn't? what sort of bullshit would I "learn" then?

It just uses a single preset and doesn't let you adjust anything, but it's a start - some photos already glow up a lot with it. The obvious next step would be adjusting parameters in the XMP file; not a rocket science, darktable does everything for us already.

It probably needs to be fully rewritten before adding stuff, but it's just 400 lines of hardcoded UI code in Python, so that could be someone's one-afternoon project 😜

Seems like nobody was reaching for this low-hanging fruit, so I did it myself:

"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using and about 30 seconds of processing.

There will be #phosh stickers and t-shirts at #FrOSCon. Join us in the mobile dev room (C117).

I've tagged version 0.0.2 of - a client library.

This release focuses on making Matrix support in more robust, simplifying some APIs and improving the documentation (which is now automatically generated at agx.github.io/libcmatrix/)

See source.puri.sm/Librem5/libcmat for the list of changes and contributors.

I got an unexpected mention in the release of Raspberry Pi's RP2350 chip.

Nice to get a mention, but I hope the security is broken, so the amount of unrepairable devices and e-waste can be reduced.

PartLint is now released on git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/partli

Also added a small utility for calculating LCSC basic part resistors :)
