The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

Resources 1.5 has landed on Flathub yesterday with battery monitoring along with other bug fixes and improvements! 🥳

Check it out! :)

This year, on average, about 30% of Dutch power consumption is produced by onshore and offshore wind turbines in the Netherlands.
So far, the majority of Dutch wind power came from onshore turbines; from this year onwards, offshore will be the main contributor.

I'm happy to announce the availability of my new app "eSIM Manager" on postmarketOS! With it you can manage and install eSIMs on your phone running postmarketOS! No more need to boot into Android to do the same!

@randahl as an Italian, please allow me to point out proudly that we were the very first morons to put a billionaire in power, Silvio Berlusconi. If everybody else had paid attention to the tale of corruption, scandals, laws “ad personam” that followed - or simply noticed how we stagnated for 25 years afterwards - at least we would have the consolation of having shown everybody else how gigantic a mistake that is. Like the UK did with Brexit. But no.

The EU enacted a new law a while ago that all bottle caps should remain attached to the bottle, to combat plastic trash.

All the bottle and packaging makers, from massive multinationals like Coca Cola and fucking Nestlé to small local producers invested in the development of new caps, changing their production lines, and shipping the new caps. Today, a month before the law goes into effect, it's basically impossible to find a bottle without an attached cap.

I don't know, I thought this story was weirdly relevant right now with Apple being a whiny bitch. Imagine being worse than Coca Cola and motherfucking Nestlé.

- Optional Clapper support (thanks Rafostar)
- Improved video performance using GraphicsOffload (thanks rmader)
- Redesigned the profile fields and preview cards (thanks david_swift, Tobias)
- In-reply indicators
- Resolving web+ap links in posts in-app
- Option to dim non-trivial notifications (like favorites and boosts)

And many more features, bug fixes and optimizations!

Popular opinion seems to be that #GNOME and #KDE are "fighting/competing."

Sure we have our differences in philosophies and design, but it's way more akin to siblings having small spats. But in the end we are siblings in #FOSS family and I like GNOME folks a lot. And if anyone attacks my siblings, I'm there to defend them.

We can and we should work together as much as possible, not just GNOME or KDE but all other DE's too like #Budgie and #XFCE to be the best computing experience possible.

It's not perfect and it's never gonna be because perfection is unattainable, but perfect is also enemy of good.

Let's keep doing our best. Together.

#linux

Reminder.

@mntmn painfully accurate for a lot of small (and bigger) FOSS projects.

@cas @postmarketOS Ayy it works on the server :3 (the kernel does)

Also thanks a lot for the work on u-boot, having a sane boot environment is so nice, no more fucking around with fastboot!

And I have the camera on the #Qualcomm #lenovox13s working on @fedora! This is using #libcamera 0.3 softisp with some fixes for #Fedora. It's not a great photo but it's the first time I've got the MIPI complex #camera stack up and running. Next camera devices will be the #RaspberryPi and #pinephone devices!

AFAIK the current number of devices with somewhat working cameras is still short:
- #librem5
- #pinephone
- #pinephonepro
- #thinkpadx13s

However there was great progress to pave the way for more devices - and apparently the #pocophonef1 will be next, see https://fosstodon.org/@joelselvaraj/112621744555315631

So looking forward to what this cycle brings :)

@agx worked on making #feedbackd a bit more useful and convenient. Some of this landed already and is targeting the next #phosh release
while others might take a bit longer (as they e.g. depend on a calls bug fix release). A short 🧵 👇

@postmarketOS #OpenSource

Initially #feedbackd supported a set of color names (that matched the LED color) as multicolor LED support was still in the makings in the kernel. With the next release you can use arbitrary RGB colors (#RRGGBB). On single color
leds we still fall back to that color.
