This from Trevor Noah on taxing billionaires is … pretty perceptive!

@linmob BTW, PureOS Byzantium does have libgtk-4 there. Backported and running ;)
I have decided to commit to a limit on the maximum number of instances or percentage of the Mastodon network that I will host on Masto.host.

@brunomiguel @d3 ^^
For almost five years, we have been doing the exercise of replacing stock OS on phones. We can tell first hand how oftentimes unnecessarily difficult/impossible it is. In the interest of reducing the insane amount of e-waste and truly being in control of our devices, we need laws that allow us to install any software on any device!
Thanks to @fsfe for writing a nice open letter about just that, we happily signed it:

Meet me at #Gulaschprogrammiernacht in Karlsruhe tomorrow to get some.
I'll also try to sneak in a lightning talk about #Jazda.
#jazda the #bike computer got a new, pretty font!
See how it thinks we're going 14 km/h? That's because it glitched (don't worry, I found the bug).
Two lessons:
- using ray tracing techniques (sdf) for drawing works on microcontrollers
- but barely fast enough :(

@brunomiguel Taken from a Librem 5? No not really. Strangely never take many pictures when I am in Tuguistão
@craftyguy WTF!
Are you dreaming about a #bike computer that shows where on the trail you are?
I stopped dreaming.
Because I made one!
Trail display is a demo for #Jazda I tested today while making code easier for newcomers.
The triangle on the display is about 10km around a pretty mountain lake surrounded by quaint little towns.
@dcz do other people use at that moment and depend on the software you are developing?
That can also influence, IMHO

@douginamug I remember the time at LIDL when I put a pack of cigarettes in my pocket and almost forgot to pay for it.
But I remembered in time, and paid for it. If I had not remembered it and put it in from of the cashier he would have not noticed.
The cashier was pissed and saying: "If you had gone out the door without paying it would have theft!"
First longer ride with #jazda. Impressions:
- I need to show battery level. I don't know if it was fully charged
- it survived the entire ride
- it shut off after I got back, after almost 5 hours with GPS on
- when the wind is blowing, I'm going way slower than I thought :S
