i love the alt text culture on fedi, because once in a while i'll browse other platforms and i see an image that i can't quite parse, in which case normally i would just look for alt text to get what i'm looking at, and instead i get the disappointment of no alt text

Significant props to @purism for the repairability on the #Librem5. Disassembly instructions were easy to find on the community wiki. There were relatively few fiddly bits, with nearly all pieces held in by a combination of screws (of a consistent size) and friction clips. Only the screen itself is glued into place, but it's to a metal frame that conducts heat from a hairdryer beautifully. The damaged screen came off with almost no fuss.

This is now the second major part on the phone that I've upgraded/repaired (the first being the power-hungry 1st gen wifi board).

And here it is! Welcome back as my screensaver, Asciiquarium 😊

I could have reimplemented it in Qt, as it was done back in the KDE 3/4 days... or I could just run the original thing in a Konsole window and call it a day 😁

How it works? It's a Plasma wallpaper plugin which is an extremely simple QtWayland compositor that only handles a single fullscreen window and draws it - so any Wayland window can be drawn as a background. This window can of course also belong to Xwayland πŸ˜„

This means we can go beyond xscreensaver. How about... Wine? 😁
