@dylanvanassche has done an incredible amount of reverse engineering work to enable sensor support for SDM845 devices in #postmarketOS! 🎉 🎉 🎉

The accelerometer (auto screen rotation), ambient light sensor (auto-brightness), and compass now work properly on phones like the #OnePlus6 and #SHIFT6mq! Amazing work!!!

Can we just stop using Discord and go back to using forum sites?

I realize it's (comparatively) super easy to set up, but y'all realize it's just going to bite us all in the ass as soon as someone at Discord decides they need to turn up the profit ratio?

It's a ticking time bomb. The whole thing is going to follow the enshittification process, and anything of value on there is going to be lost/sold/destroyed.

Railway was accepted into #Debian today ! Thanks to @awai for packaging most of its dependencies. This #GTK - #Rust app allows queuing travel information, for instance from #DB .

If someone was wondering what MNTina was doing in Hamburg while #37c3 was taking place:

A short look back at what happened around #phosh in 2023:

Yesterday, Linus Neumann and Frank Rieger were visibly uncomfortable when they met with me to discuss my confrontation with Jacob Appelbaum.

It turns out, Jake has never been formally banned from any CCC event. #37c3 #ioerror

Have YOU seen the Linux on Mobile assembly?

@session The claim that Matrix (Element) logs minimal metadata is utterly laughable. Metadata collection and transmission to as many parties as possible is quite literally built into the Matrix protocol.

Session might be reasonably private, but I'd rather not use a messaging platform built on top of cryptocurrency bullshit, thanks. There are equally private options available with far superior technical foundations.

The #FOSDEM stand locations are now public! The #LinuxOnMobile stand will be in building AW (near the main entrance), level 1, stand 6. It's great to be alongside all the other Linux distros 🐧 📱 📦

Please come visit us on 3-4 February in Brussels!

Think about it. Die Hard and Home Alone are the same movie.

Ooof, besides the stalled protocols Firefox needs, this one's scary:

> Mutter [...] terminates Wayland client if it’s recognized as stalled. It usually means Wayland client doesn’t read messages from Wayland display socket fast enough [...]. It may be a bug in application itself [...] or it’s caused by input devices like 1000 Hz mouse which generates too many events.

There *must* be a better solution than a "wayland-proxy" implementation...

Every now and then people wonder how to replace #phosh's on screen keyboard and what interfaces are needed. Here's some notes on that: https://phosh.mobi/posts/phosh-osk-interface/
