i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with blahblah@deleteduser.com or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D
Sometimes I feel like Clara in Dalek... Inside I feel like a super cool and whimsical fairy, while people perceive me as robotic and creepy. I always worry that you're going to find out that I'm too weird and not like me anymore... 😭 so let's get on with it. I'll put my weirdest out there and we'll see who stays. Shall we?
This is the most absurd train cap we found, saying "Czuwak" which means "Dead man's switch". And it's perfect!
Please help Quirky Owl reach her destination! We need some money for new computer to finish our stop-motion movie. Thank you ❤️ https://ko-fi.com/holypangolin/goal?g=4
Linux 7.0 has now been tagged, coming with 19 commits upstreamed from the Librem 5 tree - two by NXP and the rest by yours truly on behalf of @purism. Three more are already queued for 7.1.
While the mainline kernel still can't drive the display without extra patches, it's very close now 👀

Plz help me gather money for a new computer https://ko-fi.com/holypangolin/goal?g=4
I am feeling motivated but my computer doesn't feel that way anymore. Would you help? I'd love to be able to make animations more easily and finally finish my Quirky Owl movie. The sets are slowly coming together ❤️ Any amount helps, thank you
Sound on! I think it's gonna be a banger. 🔥🎹😂

Also, it looks like NXP has picked up their Cadence HDMI/DP bridge/PHY driver upstreaming effort again, which is a great news as it's one of the biggest things we carry in the downstream #librem5 tree!

We're planning a #Phosh contributors meeting in May 2026 and am looking for financial support https://ev.phosh.mobi/blog/pcm-funding-25-11/ . We'll follow up with details on the event as soon as the date is confirmed.
Well I updated my purism phone to the beta release. The update went smoothly. Everything seems crisper. It is nice to see all the nice various improvements. Chatty looks nicer and the 2048 game runs smoother. #purism
In a quick turn of events I've switched from qtile to KDE. Basically the first time ever I'm stable on Wayland (since I can load ICC profiles for my monitors).
I gotta say KDE is just phenomenal, super customisable. I'm not using any TWM plugins, but I've recreated my virtual desktops setups and all my keybindings, so it feels like home and it's a polished and complete desktop system, for a change.
I love it!
Ever wanted to use SSH to connect to an embedded Linux system over the serial port instead of suffering through some janky login program that supports very limited terminal features?
Well, I did, and the tooling didn't exist, so I made it.
It also supports ppp automatically.
Protip: GTK can do hardware video acceleration using V4L2 on e.g. #Librem5, but only if you let it.
Adding "--device=all" to overrides lets it be used in #Flatpak apps that don't specify it in their permissions already, such as #Tuba.
If you happen to maintain a distro that runs on the #Librem5, then please be aware that all the known issues resulting in the modem dropping out from the USB bus have been resolved *years ago* already. This shouldn't happen even with runtime power management enabled if configured properly.
If you still see that happening on your distro, feel free to hit me up on Matrix and we'll work together to have your distro set up well.

The #Librem5 has properly detected chargers using BC1.2, Type-C and PD signaling for years now, but it struggled with sources that couldn't actually provide the advertised current (which could happen with buggy chargers/docks, broken or poorly made cables etc.). It would attempt to draw power, drop below voltage threshold, disconnect, and then do it all again once the voltage went back up to a good level in an endless loop. Good news: this behavior is about to be gone 😁 #mobilelinux #linuxmobile
It's nothing new and has even been proposed for upstreaming years ago, but I wasn't aware until now. Apparently it broke some iMX7 platforms, but could still be something worth having downstream.
Hi, I'm dos. Silly FLOSS games, open smartphones, terrible music and more. 50% of @holypangolin; 100% of dosowisko.net. he/him/any. I don't receive DMs.
