New episode of @reality2cast featuring @kyle of @purism talking about #DigitalConvergence and more!
@kyle Oh man, the Libretto was so cool! Unfortunately I was just a poor kid back when those were around. All I could afford back then, were copies of that huge Computer Shopper magazine... where I could read about and admire things such as the Libretto.
I guess that's one great thing about being an adult, you can generally afford to get the things you want... well within reason that is.
@hamner Awesome work! How's the performance looking?

Managed to get PSP emulation working on the Librem 5!
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git
cd ppsspp
sudo apt install clang cmake libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libvulkan-dev
./b.sh --rpi64
vi cmake/Toolchains/raspberry.armv8.cmake (add set(PPSSPP_PI_MODEL4 ON))
./b.sh -rpi64

Additionally, as part of this plan, we will develop a camera option/upgrade for MNT Reform.

Big news: NLnet/NGI0 PET will fund the development of two new open hardware processor modules compatible with MNT Reform: An NXP LS1028A module developed in partnership with RBZ Embedded Logics and an FPGA module for prototyping with open CPU designs:

@dos Thanks for posting these comparisons! It's really interesting to see how the differences in specifications translate to actual real world performance.
Hopefully at some point Phoronix will create a linux phone variant of their test suite, which I think could go a long way towards further improve comparisons, but also aid HW developers to optimize designs and possibly allow them to better evaluate SOCs when designing hardware.
As for now, these videos are the best we have got.

If you need some #debconf20 entertainment around #phosh and #libhandy, watch this talk by @agx: https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2020/DebConf20/13-my-phone-runs-debian-and-it-does-phone-calls.webm
@purism That was awesome! Also, if you can run doom 3, that probably means that https://www.thedarkmod.com/main/ (open source first person stealth game) would probably run as well. Very cool!

3D Gaming on the Librem 5
https://puri.sm/posts/3d-gaming-on-the-librem-5/
The Vivante GC7000Lite GPU in the Librem 5 provides a lot of 3D rendering power while still protecting your #freedom with free software drivers. Here’s a look at how some 3D games run on the Librem 5 today.
@craftyguy Looks awesome! Also, what are your thoughts on the L5 dogwood? If for instance, you happen to have a Pine Phone, how do feel the two devices compare? I'm interested to know both your opinions on build quality as well as the relative performance level of the two devices.
Thanks in advance!
@mntmn Thats a hilarious name for the program! You sir have a a great sense for naming things.
@kyle Wow what a comprehensive and just overall great article. Thanks for sharing!

This extensive and thoughtful post by a member of the #Librem5 community does a good job of explaining the past and present mobile Linux ecosystem and why Purism's approach with phosh makes strategic sense long-term. https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/advantages-of-phosh/
So this might be slightly horrible, but I finally realized something actually positive that came out of the COVID19 pandemic... Essentially, I haven't seen any sort of door-to-door soliciting in several months... and I'm very okay with that.
@thomasorus That was a good read, thanks for sharing!

Hacked a thermal camera on the pogopins of the #pinephone :)
