Just some screenshots of the Alligator feed reader on the #Pinephone

Got the first bits of UI for user-facing controls working in Megapixels. Also figured out how to get the gain/shutter information from v4l2 while the camera is in auto mode.

@jrballesteros05 @cavaliertusky @edgren Don't worry about storage of Plasma Mobile apps. It's fine. Surely, running them on Phosh brings a ton of extra dependencies for the first app, but once you install more of their apps it becomes less significant. (And in my book it is always better to have a good app than having none or a less good one, regardless of toolkit.)

Pleroma documentation is always just fucking bad.

“If you are using PostgreSQL 12 or higher, add this to your Ecto database configuration”

Ok I am. What the fuck does that mean though. Where is this? I assumed in pleroma.conf but that just causes it to barf later on so that’s not fucking helpful.

Oh the irony...

On my short list right now are a blog post about #Convergence and another one about #Reddit clients. But what should I make my next @PINE64 #PinePhone video about?

#Sailfish OS? Nemo Mobile, finally? #OpenSUSE? Sway on Arch? Something else?

(PS: I need a break from #Anbox)

I love these grafittied trains in this old station #photography #mastoart

This article by Barton Gelman, in the Atlantic, pulls from sources within the Republican Party, and lays out their strategy to stay in power, essentially engage in a coup, if they lose the election.

Regardless of how many of us feel about elections, this is something we have to pay attention to.

The strategy Gelman talks about has three phases.

The first is using the police and forces from the Right to intimidate voters in cities in swing states.

For the most part I really enjoy using Matrix for chat. But the IRC bridge, particularly with Freenode, is really really irritating. Especially getting kicked from Matrix rooms that are bridged because my IRC connection has been "idle" for too long. So I find myself falling back to IRC where I would rather use Matrix because of the bridge can cause more problems that it solves.

Trying to catch up on the backlog this afternoon.

@amosbatto @purism I'm pretty sure now that we can drive 4K UHD with the #Librem5:

External screen, keyboard and mouse attached to my phone running my favorite IDE - Qt Creator. Looking forward to try this setup on the first post-pandemic game jam :D #librem5 @purism #convergence #gnu #linux #phosh

@purism made it!

Today I looked for a online radio application for my notebook and found #shortwave.

Looking at its homepage I've been surprised by the information that it is using #libhandy and compatible with the #Librem5.

Now listening to #radioparadise happily. Nice application!

"For 18 months, residents of a village in Wales have been mystified as to why their broadband internet crashed every morning.

Now engineers have finally identified the reason: A second-hand television that emitted a signal that interfered with the connection."
