@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/

So turns out I'm going to be speaking at #FOSDEM in February as part of the "FOSS on Mobile Devices" track. We'll go step-by-step through debugging a spontaneous modem reset issue that used to trouble the #Librem5 phone, which - spoiler alert - turned out to be a (not very well-)known bug in the #USB 2.0 spec. Check this and other talks out at https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/foss-on-mobile-devices #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #linuxmobile

Today marks two years that I have been using a mainline linux phone exclusively.

I went from a @PINE64 OG Pinephone with @mobian to a #librem5 from @purism with #pureos, to finally the same Librem 5 with Mobian.

That Librem5 has survived several drops and a few assassination attempts from nephews.

It's been a fun journey so far! I created 4 FOSS apps, contributed to several others, and use quite a bit more.

Los portugueses que prueban la semana laboral de cuatro días, el resultado te sorprenderá : un 20% menos de ansiedad e insomnio.

Además, los trabajadores que valoraban como difícil o muy difícil conciliar trabajo y familia descendieron del 46% al 8%.

Hay que luchar por extender este derecho y reducir una jornada que lleva estancada 100 años.

#git commit messages are not only a service to your fellow developers, they're also a service to your future self asking: "Why exactly did I change that back then?" (when the forge or gitlab instance with all the merge requests and discussions might be long gone).

casting to my TV in the most linux-user way (bemenu + mpv + uosc + go2tv).

#LinuxMobile

I wonder if some people would be so eager to welcome LinkedIn to the Fediverse, as they are to Zuck's platform, for the sake of the "interoperable social web".

#Threads

A new milestone has been achieved, the @Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 now boots from linux-next defconfig with no additional changes!
This means all necessary changes are in the Maintainers git trees and will be sent to Linus in the next Linux merge window planned in 2 or 3 weeks!

Today was cell broadcast test day in NL. @janvlug and @z3ntu thankfully captured Modemmanager logs. Piped that into my MM testcase and could parse it out all right:

> NL-Alert 04-12-2023 12:00: TESTBERICHT. De overheid waarschuwt je tijdens noodsituaties via NL-Alert. Je leest dan wat je moet doen en waar je meer informatie kan vinden. *** TEST MESSAGE Netherlands Government Public Warning System. No action required.

Next up message assembly and exposing it on DBus.
