@bradlinder Just curious, i was looking online for a risk-v laptop, but came up completely blank, this would be the first time in history that a new chip such as risk-v ends up in a tablet before a laptop, or a desktop (also i have not really found any packaged risk-v desktop options to buy online) :)!

@stfn thanks it is mostly an overused term when people talk about whether they can use a Linux Phone as their main phone. It is more the fact that someone has to say it rather than, I have 5 different devices that i use differently, I don't think there is anything wrong with that :)

@stfn how about "daily driver" that phrase drives me crazy no pun intended, why the fuck would you not use technology daily, i consider that a door stopper

Whenever you see the words “ads”, “cryptocurrency”, “blockchain”, “web 3”, or “AI”, just replace them with “farts” and you’ll know whether you want them or not.

“Can the fediverse survive without farts?”

Yes, perfectly well.

“Will farts replace people?”

I hope not.

“The European Commission embraces farts.”

That’s unfortunate.

“This new startup wants to improve your life with farts.”

I’m good, thanks.

@clive I have to agree, the article forgets about net carbon emissions required to produce said mass of 3000lb in the shape of a battery. That takes energy, metal, and producing the metal in the first place. Driving a 1990 Volvo 240 is better for the environment since the overhead of having had to produce it has been spread over 30 years greatly offsetting additional carbon pumped into the air from less fuel efficiency, also who says the hummer battery lasts 30 years?

A new #GTK stable release is out! Lots of changes for 4.12:

- list views can have sections
- accessibility improvements
- multiple fixes for the Vulkan renderer
- better support for GLES2 in the GL renderer
- fixes for Windows and macOS
- new support for various texture formats

and tons of bug fixes.

Ever wondered why the websites in browser demos always look so good? Spoiler alert: It's because they're all fake!

Try going to hchs.school, mmmhome.io, or any of the other domains in the screenshots below, none of them exist.

Feels emblematic for the state of the web in general. Real websites are so full of popups, toolbars, and other cruft that people create their own to make their browsers look presentable.

It is a little annoying that most posts i write i have to discard on Tuba since publish doesnt work 80% of the time.

@etam using jumpdrive i have
been able to create whole disk images from the build in L5 memory, so when things have gone wrong the last few times software wise, a complete restore took only an hour or so (with all apps, settings, and data). The SDCard i always thought as a good feature to have for backup, but with jumpdrive that is obsoleted. Still essential for music, image, video storage. The notification for calls always have been hit or miss for me regarding audible alerts.

@purism would have been nice to see a post like that more like a notification banner that always shows on top on matrix, not sure that is supported though, you dont want critical status posts to be hidden by other posts

Over the last week we have been battling a DDOS attack which is now largely mitigated. Please excuse any disruptions or slowness you may run into.

@phoronix i have resume issues on Intel Xeon E5, Kernel 6.2.0-36 wonder if there is a fix for it.

phosh 0.30.0 is out 🚀📱:

The major change is switching to newer but there's more fixes and improvements.

Check out the full release notes at phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.30.0

@purism I think some of your servers are down or having issues, purism forum, sometimes librem one, sometimes the pureos repos..

@mntmn you have posted 5099 posts that is impressive! you are a super user 8) - i am looking forward to your next laptop design actually looking for a libre PC

A year ago I started working on supporting GL Textures in the rusty @GStreamer Paintable @GTK Sink and now its merged 🎉
This should dramatically reduce the CPU usage consumed and allow for zero-copy rendering when used with hardware decoders.

@MattTheQuick hey question do you think it could be installed on a Firephone? I have been wanting to breath new life into it since Bezos abandoned that awesome phone.

@purism servers are down or have issues including librem social, purism forum, pureos repository, i was surprised the main website didnt have a status indicator regarding the issue. Is it a planned or unplanned outage?
