@mntmn perhaps "Hold both to turn on." For the second line. Otherwise, I'd be pushing on the LCD screen instead. Unless that's what you mean.

@martijnbraam Anyhow, I will echo the sentiment that other people shared in that if you are feeling burnt out, please take a break. We don't want developers to feel burnt out like that. That being said, I just wanted to clarify things a bit because I can certainly see how the community may look ungreatful or unsupportive based on those poll results. However, like I said, I think people responded that way specefically because they don't want you to feel burnt out.

@martijnbraam Now I've been following your work on megapixels for quite some time now, probably over a year or so. I know that I've read about some of the stuggles you had, but even as informed as I am, I couldn't remember off the top of my head that these two options were diametrically opposed. So I suspect the poll result you got was more a reflection of people biasing their response based on what would be supportive of you (needing a break).

@martijnbraam Allow me to provide an analogous example: Imagine you posted that you didn't really feel like eating pizza anymore. Then immediately followed up your post with a poll that said "dinner tonight: [option 1] pizza, [option 2] not pizza". People aren't going to want you to eat what you are getting tired of eating, they are going to say, hey pick the other option (which they arguably did).

@martijnbraam Hey, I don't know if this will be helpful, but I feel like there is a bit of miscommunication going on here. I think that the mastodon community is just trying to be supportive and appreciative of developers (i.e., you), but that it is being conflated as them not caring about your project.

@Protovision Super cool! I tested out the demo of this game some time back and it has got to be one of the best ever made for the C64.

@CalcProgrammer1 @linmob You can't easily buy a FP5 here, but it is possible to buy a FP4 in the US.

@dominikasafko I think it's better here anyhow.

@mntmn I think that there is still demand for platforms w/o blobs, however that aspect is one of many that factors in with the price/performance ratio of a product. Currently these platforms are a bit of a hard sell as they generally cost far more and have less performance.

For me, things not having blobs mattered because it was analogous to being well supported in Linux for extended periods. If I can get extended product support even w/blobs then this is okay at least for me.

@dominikasafko Awesome. I look forward to seeing them.

@dominikasafko I love the colors you used here! Something about this palette just makes me feel optimistic about the future...

@darkcorners3 Hey this a longshot but, have you ever seen an old black and white horror film about a skeleton that started to regrow its flesh after having water dumped on it.

I saw part of that move probably 20 years ago but never got to see the end of it and never caught its name. I've always wanted to see it in its entirety but never stumbled across it again. If you happen to have an idea of what it was, I would love to know the name of it. Thanks in advance!

@JF @PINE64 Okay, I'm familiar with most all of their devices but what is that big green motherboard with the strange cutout? Is that something new/upcoming that I should be aware of?

@soller Ooh, if you guys made a big investment into build systems for this architecture, is it reasonable to suspect that System76 may have some new ARM64 devices in their pipeline? Or am I perhaps just reading into this too much...

@martijnbraam Some people like to hate on Linux mobile for not being as polished as Android or iOS, but wow has the UI ever come a long way.

@linuxphoneapps

[1] Tuba

[2] Yes, but mostly GTK

[3] No

[4] Mobile crypto wallet app support

[6] Q: Is there anything that prevents you from recommending LinuxMobile to your friends and family? If so, what is that top reason.

A: available native devices (It's a hard sell at the current price/performance ratio).

@zwarf I've also been exclusively using one for over a year now. It's not a perfect experience by any means, but the hardware and OS/driver support is infinitely better than the pinephone I was using immediately prior to receiving it.

I can't really recommend the device to anybody except the most tech savvy Linux users and even then it can be a hard sell as it is more work to maintain than the alternatives. That said, I love Linux on mobile and don't ever plan to go back.

@mntmn @gkrnours If you can make something that will fit in one of those 1L business desktop sized-cases, I think you could potentially sell those like hotcakes. I personally love that form factor as well.
