The USPTO has issued proposed rules that will make it harder for everyone in open source to challenge bad patents. Let them know you want a fair and open system for all, where anyone can seek a review of an invalid patent.

Some interesting research from my alma mater: you can somewhat reliably transmit covert voice-band frequencies toward popular home assistant devices that are near passband cutoff freqs.

:openstreetmap: I just installed StreetComplete and I’ve already made more than 150 contributions to map my neighborhood!

It’s such a good example of an open-source and well-designed mobile app that makes it easy for everyone to contribute to the digital commons.

@nixCraft I don't have a favorite language for my projects because the implementation depends on the requirements and not vice versa.

KiCad 7.0.5 has been released! Big thank you to all of the folks who helped get this one out the door.

@snazzyq It's interesting how the appearance keeps changing to make them look more daunting/capable/rugged, yet they have embedded bumpers within the front fascia in such a way that a small collision would cost $1000-2000 to fix.

YMMV, but I've always had unlimited data tethering by using ( is my current carrier, if that matters). I'm supposed to have a 5GB monthly tethering cap, but the Google Fi app reports 0B at the start of every day and does not ever appear restricted even if I exceed 5GB in one day.

@dos I'm curious how many GPS satellites were within line-of-sight of your phone when you were testing this. I haven't worked with GNSS in a while, so I can't recall how WAAS stations are accounted for within GPS sensor data in Linux. I ought to reach out to some old colleagues for a refresher on how we handled it in our applications.

Also, FWIW: As a user, it would be beneficial to select between local/online/fallback GNSS data modes.

@LineageOS Is there currently any traction with OEMs adopting as the default image within their product lines? If not, what are the biggest hurdles?

@mntmn @olimex Seeing product integrations from two of my favorite open hardware companies makes me very happy 😁

MNT RCM4 hopefully done, ordering samples now! this adapter lets you use CM4-style modules as processors in the MNT Reform laptop. my current favorite is the BPi CM4 with Amlogic A311D.

@yurnidiot I'm usually a swipe-typer in Android (dictation when driving) but I've been daily-driving a Linux phone and it currently only has tap-typing available.

After @jacqueline told me it was possible, I tried 3d fdm printing a keycap for my mnt reform trackball. Went surprisingly well!

Getting it to fit was a bit fiddly and not the sort of process I enjoy, but it sure beats not having just the exposed switch...

My need for a job is beginning to supercede my convictions to professionally support personal ideologies.
