YouTube-dl's repository has been restored \o/ https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
Apparently, thank to intervention of the @eff https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/dmca/master/2020/11/2020-11-16-RIAA-reversal-effletter.pdf
@thomasorus Have you by any chance checked out that new Ubuntu release on the pi? I'm also running Manjaro on mine at the moment but, I would totally switch over if Ubuntu performed better.

made a last minute MNT Reform motherboard revision today, to accomodate for a 7cm long chonker of a LS1028A CPU/RAM upgrade module to be released at some point next year by https://rbz.es & us.

Thanks to @exalm@floss.social taking care of Webkit's packaging, Epiphany's GPU acceleration can now work on the #Librem5! Before (no acceleration) and after (GPU accelerated):
@purism That's some great progress!
I'm really looking forward to receiving my L5 evergreen.

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

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.
