I just took a peek at the thermometer outside...
Yeah...
This is fine...

I'm still holding out hope that eventually consumer backlash will be such that the trend of turning modern cars into smartphones with all the anti-privacy and monetization features will stop. Or at least there will be some modern alternative.

Until then I'm thankful my older cars are working well.

The work on upgrading the operating system for the #Librem5 Linux phone is progressing well.

The work on this is funded by #Purism and people that have totally optional PureOS subscriptions.

The name of the official Purism #Linux distribution for the Librem5 is #PureOS.

The current version is #Byzantium, the next version will be #Crimson.

Taking an PureOS subscription helps funding.

There is huge progress lately, read the progress report for March 2025 here:

W00t my #FOSDEM talk is online :D

It's a bit ironic that the audio is crap when talking about the new audio stuff for FOSDEM but that's what you get for ad-hoc plugging in another microphone and not setting the levels.

Palms were offline devices that only synced with your computer when put on a docking station.

You could read and reply to emails offline, book or cancel meetings, and sync with your computer later. The latest versions allowed you to snap pictures and listen to your music.

No servers running constantly. No data spilled everywhere. Days worth of battery on a single charge.

The future stole our cables, and it took our attention span and our privacy with it.

Just wrapped up the cover illustration for my upcoming Krita brush bundle. It features a warrior, continuing the theme from my previous bundle. I had a lot of fun designing a medieval fantasy gothic look and capturing the light of the golden hour. I also enjoyed the painting process.

Last year I got a new #Librem5 mobile #Linux phone. #GPS on this new one works, contrary to the very early ones I had.

Today, I tracked for the first time a run with the #Jogger app. Jogger is a great app available via #Flathub (https://flathub.org/apps/xyz.slothlife.Jogger).

To get it working, I had to do a little tweak on my Librem 5 (https://codeberg.org/baarkerlounger/jogger/issues/8#issuecomment-1103201), but then it nicely found my location and tracked the run.
