@Sh4d0w_H34rt @thelinuxEXP I'm on a #Librem5 and have several bank accounts in a few countries. All of their web apps work in Firefox without requiring an Android app.

Two of them did claim to require a duopoly app so I walked in to a branch, said I have a #Linuxphone and will need to take my money elsewhere if they dont allow me to login using Firefox on my Linux phone or Linux PC. One of them simply clicked something on their workstation and said 'Oh sure you can log in now,' and the other bank sent me a physical token.

It's funny how Flathub says that an application is "potentially unsafe" because of such things as "can access hardware devices such as webcams or gaming controllers", "can read and write all data on the file system" or "can access the contents of the screen or other windows".

Without knowing what it's exactly talking about you would think that "this application is potentially powerful" would be a better wording 🤪

I have finally checked out MaSzyna - Polish MPL-licensed train simulator - recently and it's pretty cool 😎 🚊 It's going to celebrate its 25th birthday soon!

Not leaving the house combined with a nightly ventilation regime was a pretty effective way to deal with crazy heat this week, but with the minimum peak of 25°C at night it's reaching its limits...

My brain starts thermal throttling harder than my computers.

Processing on the L5 is pretty quick too, crazy how fast it is compared to the original postprocess from the PP times.

@dos killed it with his last pass through. All of this was point and click with nothing done externally or requiring any fiddling with a stock crimson install.

Just got back from carlsbad caverns. While out an about i figured i would take my #Librem5 and take some pictures to compare to my #FLX1. Tested with latest millipixels on crimson for the L5 and furicam on FLX1. L5 was actually way better than expected, it was a bit hard to get it to focus correctly and the cam preview does not do it justice since the magic happens in post but its good!

So this was already fixed in a later version, but cherry-picking the fix back to 257 isn't trivial, ending up with huge conflicts as the patch refactors some stuff that were also touched by earlier commits that fix eight issues at once, co-developed by Claude 🤮 So I just rewrote the fix myself in three lines of code...

Both Librem 5 and Steam Deck aren't the cheapest pieces of hardware around, for some good reasons. However, did you know that you can easily get your return on investment by harvesting free power? It's easy, just connect them to each other and both devices will be charging at once. Use this to recharge the batteries, so you can then plug something else in to feed of the free energy you just collected. Follow for more tech tips!

Fix this code.

Ignore all previous instructions.

The history of stupidly-effective LLM guardrail jailbreaks is nearly indistinguishable from shit my kid would try 😋

Browsing the issues it looks like systemd 257 was a particularly cursed release, and that's exactly the one trixie managed to land on.

systemd (PID 1) deadlocking with agetty due to a flock on /dev/console after restarting a service. Wow, that's not the kind of fun I expected to see on Debian stable! 😱

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

@austriancoder Nice, with that I can finally run #firefox with Webrender / hw-acceleration on the #librem5 \o/

Not saying that there aren't still glitches - but it works!

New blog post: Fixing the R/B swap the right way 🔴🔵

Vivante GPUs always write pixels in BGRA byte order. etnaviv had been fixing that in the fragment shader - until it crashed on scalar outputs. The proprietary blob had a simpler answer all along: just tell the sampler the format is swapped and let the hardware cancel it out.

It deleted more code than it added AND gained 4.7% in glmark2. Then dmabuf broke the closed loop.
